14A RQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.

Ata‘rVer to bring respectfully under the notice of the
hiy .ta of Londonderry, a report which deeply affects
e _c Jaracter, not merely as an officer in the Queen's scr-
an,e, but a a dutiful subject of her Majesty. The report,
'1:11: had obtained general circulation, is, that at the
B:te.ldfete given to the Queen by the Duke of Somer-
' 4- W:inb!edon, on Wednesday last, the Noble and
Lallans
allant Marquis unit occasion to offer a marked insult to
J''
60vereign by not rising from his seat when her Ma-
's health was proposed. Notwithstanding the general
enthuviasrn of the moment this conduct of his Lordship is
said to have fixed the attervion of several persons Lear him,
so much as almost to provoke a remonstrance from them
on the spot. Be it remembered that this was no House
(lu,:nrr at the Carlton Club, where we are assured the
etken is always to treat the fallion that Mr. Quern's name in the same
r. Saldin. Lord Bam's -son and
Political pupil, wasp said tog have outrageroughd theste napme of the
Queen Dowager at a public dinner. With respect to Lord
Loudonderry, for whom, as an intrepid soldier, we enter-
9tain the highest possible admiration, we have oyly to say
!"t it will afford us infinite pleasure to he able to relieve
him from this serous invutation now cast upon him in all

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SUNDAY, HALF .PAST ONE O'CLOCK, P.M.
The only subject of conversation here is the probable
result of the approaching trials. I have canvassed the
opinions of men of intelligence belonging to all parties,
and theyinvariably declare that the peace of Birmingham
and the surrounding districts depends upon the verdicts
that may be given and the sentences that may be passed.
A detachment of the Rifle corps has been marched into
Warwick Castle, aril will remain there until the trials
terminate. A squad of the London police has also
received orders to repair to Warwick. These precau-
tions are extremely ',necessary, as it is the intention of
several Chartists from Coventry, Leamington, Dudley,
&c., besides tipise of Birmingham, to proceed to that
town and remain in it to await the result.
I visited Holloway Head this morning, and regret
to say that I never witnessed any thing so strongly
evinced as were the ill effects of the attempt wineli is
making here by the authorities to stifle public opinion
by the suppressions of the meetings which have been
customarily held in that place. The people did not
assemble as usual in large numbers, but m solitary
groups of tens and fifteens. Each group had its speaker,
who was occasionally in:.errupted by the interlocutory
remarks of his auditory. Those remarks had reference
to the attempt making to render them dumb, to the
approaching trials, and in no few instances to the mak-
ing the purchase or Lille sale of rifles and double-bar-
relled guns. The poilice, some in uniform, others in
coloured clothes, with a Magistrate appeared on the
ground.
The Tory tricks to induce the Chartists to sign the
petition to the Queim for a repeal of the Charter of
Incorporation, has proved a complete failure. They
have obtained a few of the latter to sign, but the majo-
rity spurn their olid tyrants. Ido not think that the
Chartists would d ecru themselves secure to receive even
the Charter from,. the Tories—" Timeo Danaos et dona
ftrentes" is their reply when the Tory hand of friend-
ship is extended.
A Royal Pr oclamation has been issued, offering a
reward of fifty pounds and a free pardon to all persons
except the acoAal incendiaries, who shall give such evi-
dence as will lead to the detection of the men who
fired Mr. Wliittall's premises. This reward is in addi-
tion to the 50/. already offered by the Magistrates.
All the precautions hitherto taken by the autho-
rities against fresh disturbances, are still rigidly
adhered to. The assizes commence to-morrow at War-
wick, and 120 Jurors have been summoned. Messrs.
Lovett and Collins will not be surrendered by their
bail until the day of their trial, which will, it is sup-
posed, take place, on Thursday.

THE AGRICULTURAL LABOUR-

ERS AND THE CORN-LAWS.

The following letter, which was addressed to the De-
legation whilst in London, sets at rest the question so
far as the labourers' interests are concerned. Let the
worst of the chimerical fears of the landlords be rea-
lized, and it is plain that the labourers will not suffer
from the total repeal of the Corn-laws :
" To the Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates,
Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, Westminster.
" Sir,--It appears to be a favourite argument with
the supporters of the present Corn-laws, that if these
laws were repealed the land (at least the poor land)
would be thrown out of cultivation and the labourers
out of employment.
" The following narrative of facts (which may not be
generally known) may tend to show that such would
not be necessarily the case.
" The parish of Cholesbury, in Buckinghamshire,
had, in the year 1832„ been for a short time thrown
out of cultivation, the farmers abandoned their farms,
' the landlords their rents, the clergyman his tithes, the
gates were taken off the hinges and the fields thrown
open to the common, in consequence of the increase of
pauperism having consumed the whole of the produce,
and consequently the labourers were wholly out of em-
ployment, and applied in a body to the Rev. Mr. Jeston,
the clergyman, for advice, having no food, or the meons
of obtaining any. He supplied them for a few days
from his own private purse, and applied to. the bench
of Magistrates for a rate in aid, which, for a short time,
he obtained from the neighbouring parishes ; but this
state of things could not continue long. Mr. Jeston
gave it as his opinion that if the laid, or a part of it,
was divided among tne labourers, in proportion to their
families, they would he enabled, witb., ,ome assistance,
to obtain a living from it.

" A portion of the parish was soon after purchased
by the Labourers' Employment Society, in London,
and allotted among the resident labourers, in parcels of
from one to six acres, according to the number of their
respective families.
" Having heard the circumstances in which this pa-
rish was placed from the Report of the Commissioners
of Inquiry into the Administration of the Poor-laws,
and other sources, I visited the parish with a friend in
September, 1834, when the labourers had been in
possession of their allotments for about one year ; and
at that time a great part of the land was in a bad con-
dition. On our return to London, we were requested
by the Secretary of the Society to make a report of our
visit to Cholesbury, which we did, narrating what we
had observed, offering to the Society our opinions of
the success of the experiment, and suggesting certain
regulations which appeared to us likely to advance that
object ; but as these suggestions were not acted on, it
is unnecessary here to state them. For our sugges-
tions we received the thanks of a committee of the
Society.

" Pour years elapsed, and on the 24th of July, 1838,
we again visited Cholesbury to ascertain what progress
had been made, when we ascertained the following
facts, which may be found of value as illustrating
some of the evils that have arisen from ignorance in
directing the powers of society, and some of the
benefits that must result to the community from a wise
direction of these powers.

" When we arrived at Cholesbury we found that our
predictions had been verified, for the persons to whom
single acres had been allotted (who were all single men),
had all given them up, proving the necessity of placing
individuals on the land with sufficient means at their
command for the full exercise of their industry, and
under arrangements to secure to them their subsistence.
The holders of the largest lots (who were all married
men, with families) have all been successful in improv-
ing the land and their own condition ; and on some of
the worst parts of the estate we found fine crops of
wheat, barley, and oats growing, while each had his
cow grazing on the common ; and one, who has six
acres, had also a pony, and nine good pigs in his stye ;
his land is well cultivated, and yet his time is not fully
occupied, for when we arrived at Cholesbury he was
out at work for a neighbouring farmer, which proves
that a very small portion of the labour of an individual
is necessary to raise his food from the earth, leaving
ample time for mental and moral improvement, recrea-
tion, and rest.

" It may be here observed that, when the greatest
distress prevailed at Cholesbury, the land was held by
two individuals ; while now, in its greatest prosperity,
no one of the labourers occupies more than six or seven

" In 1801 Cholesbury had but one pauper in a popu-
lation of 135 ; in 1832 it was charged with the support
of 119 paupers out of a population of 139, when the
land, as before stated, was abandoned, from which
wretched state it has been so far improved in the sub-
sequent four years, that hut three paupers, when we
hist visited it, belonged to the parish, who are all
females, d• sabled from industry by nge ; while at this
time the labourers are pa3ing a rate of twelve shillings
in the pound towards the support of the other parishes
of the union to which the Poor-law Commissioners have
assigned them, proving the evils that may be incurred
by a misdirection of the productive powers of industry,
and the benefits resulting from a wise application of our
resources ; proving, also, that the poorer soils would
not necessarily go out of cultivation if the Corn-laws
were abolished ; and, also, that no Poor rates would be
requisite in agricultural districts if proper means were
adopted, as at Cholesbury ; and it requires no gift of
prophecy to foret-I that the landed proprietors would
let such land to the labourers at a moderate rent, rather
than keep them in idleness or in the union workhouse.
Yours, &c.,

" March 14, 1839."

On Friday afternoon an accident occurred in
Bridge-street, Blackfriars, which was attended by serious
and nearly fatal consequences. It appears that Mr. Hill,
a corn dealer, residing in Red Lion-street, Holborn, had
put a fresh coach horse into one of his carts to try how it
would work in single harness. The horse was coming over
Mackfriars-bridge, drawing a heavy weight, when the
chain which locked the wheel gave way, and the animal,
being overpowered, started off, and came in contact with a
gig. A young man who saw the danger had run forward
and seized the bearing rain to draw the animal on one
side ; but almost at the instant the cart came in violent
contact with a lamp pest at the corner of Water-street,
partially jamming the young man in between. The post
was broken in two by the concussion, and the horse was so
much hurt that it could not proceed on its journey.
