      A BUBAL HOME FOR HE . ( From the December number of the Democratic Review . ) Away with your steeples , streets and towers , sour towns and cities vast ; mere disease on extended pinions lowers , And the shadows of death are cast . IV here the alley , dark as December ' s gloom , ^ ever shelters a ray of light ; where the fever ' s flush , not the rose ' s bloom , f j l * right mthat livin S tomb , And the day is an endless ni « dit . Away , away , with your dens of death I in the fields let me wander free ! O the humming bird , And the lowing herd . And the green-grass sward for me !

      Tell me not of yonr noble parks and squares , Of your crescents doubly grand ; A home which the workman never shares , Tho' reared b his toiling hand . 5 or point to their owners , pale and sear , Tho' robbed in their gilded pride ; Their freshest breath is but tainted air , For they live in a poisoned atmosphere , With the plague house side by side . Away , away , with yonr dens of death 1 In the fields let me wander free 1 Where the blush of health , Stamps man ' s true wealth ; 0 the hills , and the dales for me !

      I love not the sounds of the prison bell , Or the watchman's stealthy tread , But the cheering tones of the breeze ' s swell , And the husbandman ' s voice instead . To stray on the banks of the limpid streams As they murmering glide along ; Or recline in the shade from the noontide beams , Or search out the haunts of my youthful dreams , And travel the woods among . ' Away , away , with your dens of death I In the fields let me wander free ! 0 tbeeottagelow , Where the wild flowers grow , And the rivulets' flow for me .

      O give me the morning ' s early dawn , And the landscape ' s varied green ; Where the lark in air , from the dewy lawn , In the cloud is hut dimly seen I To sport with the breeze as it gently floats ; And be fanned as the zephyrs' play ; And enraptured list to the warbled notes , As they gush in streams from a thousand throats , To hail the approach of day ! Away , away , with your dens of death ! -in the fields let me wander free I O the haunts of the dove , Are the scenes that I lore ; 0 the wood , and the grove for me ! James Djlbkxess .

IU and IV " . of tbis valuable periodical -contain a number of admirably written articles on "The Situation ; " "Socialismas a Project de Loi ; " " The Budget of Calumny ;" " The Peace Congress ; " & c . ; also a valuable historical review of that first of the unfortunate

      days of the Revolution of 1848—the " day of dupes "— the 16 th of April ; the first of a " Course of Lectures on the History of Socialism ; " an address " To Mechanics' Associations on the necessity of Solidarity ; " and an elaborate and powerfully written essay inscribed " To "Women , " on the questions of "Famil y" and "Divorce . " We have not space to spare , or we should contest the principle laid down hy Louis Blasc in his comments on the proposition of Napoleon Buonaparte for the repeal of the laws exiling the Bourbons . We will merel y observe , that generosity to tyrants and the spawn of kings , is injustice and cruelty to the people .

      The following article—though by no means the best—has the advantage for us of being brief , and also of appl y ing to those miserable Peacemongers against whose cant and humbug we have protested , and shall continue to protest , on every fitting occasion : —

      THE PEACE COXGKESS . Every one knows that the great fear of Malthus ¦ was the increase of population which , according to his calculations , increased in a geometrical proporiion . It is well known , besides , that , to his eyes , the poor were supernumerary guests , for whom 2 fature has provided no seats at the banquet of life . It sei-ms , then , that those belonging to that school ought not to regard war as so frightful a scourge . When people think that poverty cannot be suppressed , it seems that they ought to resign themselves to those great bleedings which now and then war inflicts upon" mankind . Malthus , who was a good logician , without being a wicked man , would notI thinkhave joined tlmPeace Congress .

      , , Also iiave we been not a little surprised to see that the Congress was imagined by the principal discip les of Malthus . If Socialists had taken that initiative , nothing more simple . It is but natural that , to those who work for the triumph of the principle of fraternity in the world ; to those who look upon misery , not as a merciless law of nature , lint as the effect of a bad social organisation ; to those who are convinced that the earth can nourish all its inhabitants , and that it is the business of the

      genius of man , war should appear as what it really is in most cases , that is , an atrocious folly . But it will be asked , perhaps , why the Socialists have not taken that initiative . Why ? It is because they arc not so Utopian as they are thoug ht to be . Thev who reason , do not put the cart before the horse . They understand that before you suppress armies , you must suppress kings , to whom armed 2 ) -olctaires are indispensable to keep down p-olctains without arms ; and who , besides , bare oionr to acquire in battles .

      It is a pity that at the moment when Nicholas -was about going to pacify Hungary , the gentlemen cf the Peace Congress did not induce him , hy earnest and good reasons , to desist from that intention . Can any one believe , but that the Emperor of Russia should * have hastened to accede to so sentimental a request ? But we never think of all things . ¦ «?„ -t- « oiffi- t « - /> rnnct . fin /? £ > . nlf . not vrith We wc must find faultnot with

      arc sorry , Louis Blaxc , but with the editor of the Eng lish edition of the New World . Li an article entitled " Public Op inion and Socialism /' which contains many truths and sound sentiments , some strange errors find a place . Having informed his readers that " public opinion in this country , is the most absolute tyrant that evcy swayed , over society , " the editor proceeds -with the following astounding

      statement : — The present government , animated as they really are with the most sincere anxiety to offer adequate remedies to existing evils , their efforts are con"tan tlv baffled in public opinion , and unable to contend with its insuperable wei g ht , they now and then offer to the world those humiliating exhibitions of subdued justice and rights , submissively gtvmg way to tha imperious bid of the blind feeling of a misled people . We deny , point blank , that the present rulers of England are animated by a sincere desire to reform existing evils . Wc deny that

      in the work of real reform they encounter , -would or could encounter , opposition from the people , described as " misled , " and animated by a " blind feeling . " We assert that , on the contrary , public op inion is ever immeasurably in advance of the Government . A » e should like to see a list of the reforms w-hich have been proposed by the Governmen ^ and rejectedbythe " blindfeeling" of a " misled " people . They would , indeed , be the curiosities of statesmanship , and we fancy would

      be found to be about as substantial as the da ^ er which Macbeth saw If we are renuSded that , in the matter of Education the Sarians overwhelmed the Government , we » that the sectarians triumphed , because Se Government did not propose a veritable iSESSS ofMavnooth ? We answer , that- * ™ -7 „ i »' c W rv nrooerlv supported by I uWic

      Public Opinion so advanced—come before Parliament next Session with the measures called for by the public voice ? Nothing of the kind . The initiative in the work of real Reform , so far from being taken by the Government , is always opposed until a sense of danger forces concession to the popular will . Amongst other " p ictures of the English " as they are—not , we find the folllowing : — The lower classes of England are nurtured into false judgments and sentiments from their cradle , and an enlightened education not being at hand to dispel those prejudices , they carry them to the threshold of their tomb , and leave them as a lamentable heritage to their posterity .

      The lowerclasses" is hardly a term befitting a Socialist publication . That great ignorance exists amongst the Proletarian classes of this country , is too true ; and it is to be regretted that , in that respect , they are too much like the masses elsewhere—witness the fruits of Universal Suffrage in Prance . This much , however , we will say , that ^ -th anks to their comparative intelligence and true liberality—the admirers of Louis Blanc number at least a thousand to one in the lower classes , as compared with the middle and higher classes . Here is another erroneous

      statement : — An Englishman is taught from his infancy to regard his nation as the first in the world the wretched historical compilations placed in his hands strengthen that vanity , which rendered excusable from undeniable grandeur , might prove harmless , were it not for the exclusive selfishness it imparts to the heart and mind . This may be true enough of a great number of Englishmen of the higher orders , but it is not true of the people as a whole . We are persuaded , that in no country in the world is

      there less of national egotism than in England . The English " lower classes" have outgrown that folly , in support of his censure of English egotism , the Editor of the " New World" asks : " Who has not been struck on the Continent , with the profound disdain , ihe grave supineness , with which English tourists seem to regard everything they see V A Socialist should be too just , too well-informed to set up English aristocrats as representatives of the English people . Other errors we might notice , but the task is an unpleasant one , and we forbear . If "F . 5 . Trehonnais" is a

      native of the Continent—his ignorance of England and the English is excusable . It is , nevertheless , to be regretted that his errors should mar the good work in course of performance by his chief , Lows Bixsc . We think we observe in the article by al . Trehoxnais , indications of an attempt to make socialism " respectable , " and acceptable to the " hi gher classes . " We warn our friend Louis Blanc , that any such attempt will seriously damage him in the estimation of the "lower classes ; " a consummation we should unfeignedl y deplore .

      As regards the writings of Loins Biasc himself , we can only repeat our heartfelt desire that they may reach the hands of every labourer in this country ,

      A Letter To Messrs. De Tocquemlle And 3e...

      A Letter to Messrs . De Tocquemlle and 3 e Falloux . By Jose ph Mazzini . London : Printed for the Italian Refugee Fund Committee , and published by C . Fox , 67 , Paternoster-row . This is a neat reprint in pamphlet form of Mazzini ' s magnificent philippic in defence of the Roman Republic , and exposure of the crimes and falsehoods of its assassins . The following extracts we shall fitly entitle : —

      THE B 5 IGA . V 0 S AXD WARS UXMASKEO . The number of" foreigners" who assisted in the defence of Home , was from 1 , 400 to 1 , 500 men ; from 1 , 400 to 1 , 500 men amongst a total of 14 , 000 ; for it is well that Italy shoidd know that 14 , 000 men , a young army without traditions , and improvised lender tlie very fire of the enemy , held in check for two montlts 30 , 000 soldiers of France . You know all this gentlemen , or you could have known it , and therefore you ought to have done so ; and nevertheless you shamelessly gave out to the assembly the number of "foreigners" as 20 , 000 , as a proof that after all ifc was not the Roman idea that you had endeavoured to stifle in blood : and upon this cipher of your own invention depends the greater part of

      your argument . Foreigners ! I entreat pardon of my country for having inscribed the word , after you , npon my page . What ! Lombards , Tuscans , Italians , foreigners at Rome ! And is it by you , Frenchmen , by you who , in re-establishing the pontificial throno , have been supported by Austrians and Spaniards , that this reproach is made ? A year ago our provinces sent the elite of their youth to fight upon the plains of Lombavdy as to a convention of honour ; bnt I do not remember that Radetsky ever called them in his proclamations foreigners . The absolute denial of Italian nationality has been reserved for the nephew of him who at St . Helena uttered these words : — " Unity , of manners , of language , of literature , show that Italy is destined to form a single country . " The accusation of violence , of a reign of terror , directed against the republican government , is an

      accusation to which the lie is now solemnly given by the facts of our defence . The armed enthusiasm of the whole people is not to he commanded by terror , and you are compelled gentlemen , cither to calumniate the value of the French arms , or to confute your own statements—to declare that a few factious individuals were not only able to restrain a population of 160 , 000 souls , but also , for two months , to contend with and often to conquer your army ; or , in order to preserve yourselves from the stain of imbecility and cowardice , to confess that the government , the people , the National Guard , and the army of Rome , were all united together as brothers in the common idea of liberty , and of war to the enemies of the republic . It is necessary to speak of this , so that , at least , you cannot repeat the absurd accusation without others being able to reply " yours is a premeditated lie . "

      Pass by the assassination of Rossi , which has been so often and so hypocritically cited . The republic inaugurated on the 0 th of February 1849 , has no occasion to exculpate itself from a deed ivhich occurred on the 16 th of Sorember , 1848 , when the princely party , the moderates , the partisans of Charles Albert , possessed the field , and drove away , or condemned to absolute silence , the men of republican faith . So one in Italy accuses your revolutions of having had their rise in assassination , because the Duke of Berry fell by the dagger , and five or six attempts at regicide succeeded each other in the space of two years in Paris . Mark the facts which , in even' time , and in every place , accompany every system supported by

      violence . During nearly five months of republican government can you , gentlemen , point out a single condemnation to death for a political offence ? A single exile , founded upon political suspicions ? A sin » le exceptional tribunal instituted in Rome to udgc political offences ? A single newspaper suspended by order of the government ? A single decree directed to restrain the liberty of the press anterior to the siege ? If so , point them out . Point out the laws originating in a system of terror ; point out the ferocious band of whom you speak ; point out the victims of our rule — or resign yourselves to be branded as LIARS . In one of our declarations we said , "The republican banner raised in Rome by the representatives

      of the peo ple does not represent the triuinpu otone fraction of citizens over another ; it represents a common triumph , a victory gained by the many , accepted hy the immense majority , of the princi ple of good over that of evil , of the common right over the arbitrary rule of the few , of the sacred equality which God has decreed to all over privilege and despotism . "Wc cannot be republicans without being and proving ourselves better than the overthrown powers . . . We are not the government of a party , but the government of a nation Neither intolerance nor weakness . The republic is conciliating and energetic . The government of the republic is strong , therefore fearless" In these , lines were summed up the republican programme ; nor was it ever violated by the men who ruled our republic , as vours has been . O ministers of France ! And "vewere strong , strong in the love of the good—the bad amongst us are but few ; strong in

      the common consent of the citizens , and with a strength differing widely from yours , gentlemen . We had no necessity , in order to maintain ourselves in power , to place the capml in a state of siege , to dissolve llie national guard , to Jill Hie prisons , to exile ( amongst others ) Uie representatives of the people , to condemn to transportation hundreds of working men , and to surround ourselves hy cannon and soldiers . Our capital was cheerful and happy under the weig ht of sacrifice which sudden changes must always impose upon a state ; tranquil and serene when the presence of your army under its walls mig ht have provoked the malcontents , if malcontents were to he found in Rome , to acts of rashness . Our national guards furnished upwards of 7 , 000 men for active service within the city and on the walls . Our prisons were all but empty of political offenders . Two or three individuals strongly suspected of intercourse with your camp , two or three individuals taken ia the very act of conspiracy , and

      A Letter To Messrs. De Tocquemlle And 3e...

      an official , Zamhoni , guilty of desertion , were all who were under trial when XI . de Corc clles visited the prisons . The five or six prisoners , Freddi , Alai , and the rest found by him in the Castle of St . Angelo , were there by order of Pius IX ., aud for the plots against his government . The men most averse to the republic , a Mamiana , a Pantaleoni , walked free through the streets of Rome , wo reminded the people who mistrusted them that the republic , superior to the dethroned power , held opinions to be inviolable , unless manifested in dangerous acts ; and the people , generous by nature , and from a consciousness of power , . understood and respected this : nor was there any danger for such men , until we could no longer interpose , and the

      spectacle of your brute force irritated the multitude to reaction . Owing to the impossibility of keeping guard round the whole circuit of the city , several ot our cannons often remained acessible to any one , and without a single soldier to guard thorn . And thua it happened on the 16 th of May , when our troops moved on the side of Nilletri against the army of the King of Xaplos—when from 5 a . m . until midnight the city remained without a single soldier and entrusted solely to the people . The French troops were at a little distance from the walls . The few guards left at the palace gates were withdrawn , as they were wanted elsewhere . The affection of the people was our safeguard . Neither then , nor at any other time , amidst the

      evils of an inevitable financial crisis , in tho midst of physical privations inseparable from the semiblockade which your forces extended around us , alike under your bombs as under the corruption which your agents and those from . Gaeta endeavoured to excite—not an attempt at insurrection was made by those whom M . Drouyn de Lhuys insolently calls the honest ones ; not a single voice arose to say to us descend . Faction ! terror ! Ah , if you ministers of France retained a shadow of shame you ivould , on looking around , and thinking of the fears and violence by ivhich you rule in Paris , have studiously avoided " these ivords , from tU fear that others would read there your own condemnation . And if the Assembly betoro which you spoke had not

      been irreparably corrupt and inaccessible to the love of truth—if the members who supported by their votes your foreign policy , instead of servilely following in the track of the power of the moment whatever it might he , had had any system in their minds , however different from ours , or had been actuated by any faith—a hundred voices would have arisen to say to you , " Be silent , nor dishonour Our aims by open falsehood . What . ' yonr first decree in Home is to establish the Council of war for political offences ; on the 5 th of July you dissolve the clubs , you forbid all meetings , you threaten exemplary punishments to protect persons having friendly relations ivith your troops ; on the 6 tli you dissolve the civic guard ;

      on the 1 th you command the complete disarming of the citizens—on the Htli you su ^ ress tits journalsthe 18 th you fulminate threats against any meeting composed of more than five persons ; all these your acts in the midst of a population which you declare to be favourable to you and which comes officially announced to us by yourjournal , are exactly those which we upon your word , believed to have taken place as part of a system of terror in Home under the republican government , and of which we do not discover a trace in their decrees ; and yet you impudently persist in throwing out an accusation against them , which must recoil upon yourselves , and you boast yourselves the restorers of liberty in peace and order . "

      And this state of things still exists ; exists two months after your triumph . The prisons ate choked with men , for the most part guilty only of having obeyed the ruling power , and pointed out by spies to priestly vengeance . Upwards of fifty prisoners are confined in the castle of St . Angelo , guilty of having lent their services in our republican hospitals . Even the subaltern officials in the police are not spared in Rome , and are ferociously condemned to the galleys for life . In Terni j in Bologna , in Ancona , in Rimini , young men guilty of having a musket in their possession have been shot . There is not perhaps in the Roman States one family in five , one of whose members is not either an exile or a prisoner . The

      men of the self-called moderate party—the men whom , when entering Rome , you declared to he I ri g htfully there , are through you in exile . Mamiami , Galeotti , Father Ventura are exiles . Your work is one of destruction , equal to that accomplished by the monarchy in Spain , in 1823 . Would that you had at least the brutal courage of the monarchy ! But false interpreters of an idea which is not your own ; secret enemies to the banner which you have publicly sworn to serve ; conspirators rather than ministers—you are condemned to wrap yourselves round ivith hyjyocritical and premeditated falsehood . Falsehood is your fundamental assertions / falsehood in the jiarticidars ; falsehood in yourselves ; falsehood in your agents ; falsehood —IUush in saainq

      it , for France , which you have at length brought so low as to soil hei traditionarg honour—falsehood in the generals of your army . You hive conquered by falsehood , and by falsehood you endeavour to justify yourselves . General Oudinot LIED when , in order to deceive the populations , and to smooth for himself the road to Home , he vilely trafficked in our affections for France , by keening the Italian tricolour , which he knew himself about to overthrow , entwined with the French flag at Civita Vecchia until the 15 th July . He LIED impudently by affirming in his proclamation that the greater part of the Roman army had fraternised with the French , when the whole staff of the army protested and resigned , when only 800 men ( at the present

      time even they are dissolved ) accepted tho proposed conditions of service . He LIED AS A COWARD , when , after having given his solemn promise in writing not to assault the city before Monday , the 4 th of June , he assaulted it on the ni ght of the Sabbath . The envoy Lesseps LIED , when induced by a culpable weakness , partly redeemed by the hope of remedying the evil , he reassured us by continual promises of aconclusive treaty , and conjuring us not to attach importance to the movements of the French troops , dictated solely by the necessity of satisfying the soldiers , who were impatient of repose , whilst in the meantime you basely took advantage of our good faith to study unmolested our defences , to strengthen yourselves , and to occupy

      unexpectedly , during an armistice , the strategetical point of Monte Mario . M . de Corcellcs LIED , when in contradiction to the declaration of the Roman Municipality , to that of the forei gn consuls , and to the testimony of a whole city , he declared that Rome had never been bombarded . The bombs fell for many nights , and particularly from the 23 rd to the 24 th , and from the 29 th to the 30 th , most frequently and injuriously upon the Corso , upon the Piazza di Spagna , upon the Babhuiuo , upon the Colonua Palace , upon the hospital of Santo Spirito , upon that of the Pellegrini , and in other places . You LIED , XI . de Tocqueville , when relying upon the ignorance of your majority , you boasted a solitary fact in historv .

      of the choice of the point towards the Parta San Pancrazio , for assaulting the city as it for the greater safety of the people aud their habitations . Rome offers at the gate of San Paolo and at the gate of San Giovanni an open country , whilst the gate of Saint Pancrazio is surrounded h y the people and their houses ; the gate of San , Pancrazio was chosen because from there a communication with Civita Vecchia could he kept with less risk , and because whilst from the . other points it would be necessary to descend lo a battle with the people and their barricades , which you rightly feared , from that of San Pancrazio , * the Janiculum dominating Rome offered the opportunity of conquering it , not by a war of men , but of bombs and cannons . YOU HAVE ALL LIED , FROM HIM WHO

      IS THE FIRST AMONGST YOU TO THE LOWEST OF YOUR AGENTS , to us , to the Assembly , to France , and to Europe , when , from the first day of the nefarious undertaking to the last , you have repeated promises of protection , of brotherhood , and of liberty , that you had already determined to betray . In the following sublime language Mazzixi predicts

      THE FUTURE . The Roman Republic has fallen ; hut its rig ht lives immortal , a phantom that will often rise to disturb your dreams . And it shall be our care to evoke it . The political question is intact . The Roman constituent assembly , by declaring that it yielded solely to force , without entering into any condition , or becoming a party to any unworthy compromise , took from you every basis of legal action . Wo have not capitulated . Rome ' s rig ht exists as strong as on the day when the republic was first inaugurated .

      Defeat has left it unchanged . The vote of the populations , legally and freely expressed , remains a normal condition of life , from which no one can now retreat . You dare not deny that rig ht ; in all that has passed , you have but sought to weaken and to render doubtful its expression . And the defeat of those whom you falsely denominated as factious , removing , even in the opinions of those who believed in you , every obstacle to the free voting of the population , has rendered the right of voting more urgent and more sacred .

      For us , for those who feel with us , the right of Rome has deeper root and other hopes than those which arc merely local . The roots of Rome ' s rights embrace in their ramifications the whole of Italy ; the hopes of Rome are the hopes of the Italian nation , whose re-awakening neither you nor any other ' s veto can prevent . God decreed that , awakening on the day when all monarchical delusions overcome one by one , when all false ideas of leagues and federations which an erroneous doctrine had tried to implant amongst us had been expiated by martyrdom , the Italian national instinct raised within the ancient capital the banner of national unity , and declared that God and the people should henceforth be the only masters in Italy . Rome is the centre of Italy : the palladium of the Italian mission ; and the city in which broods the secret of our future religious life can patiently endure the brief delay which your arms have unexpectedly caused to the developement of its destinies .

      A Letter To Messrs. De Tocquemlle And 3e...

      You are ministers of France , gentlemen—I am only an exile : you have power , gold , armies , and multitudes of men dependent en your nod . I have only consolation in a few affections , and in the breath of heaven which speaks to me from the Alps of my country , and of which you , inexorable in persecution as are all those who fear , may yet deprive me . Yet I ivould not exchange my fate zvith yours . I bear widi me in exile the calm inspired by a pure conscience . ¦ I can fearlessly raise my eyes to meet those of other men , without the dread of meeting any one tuho can say to me : — " You have deliberatel y lied . " I have combated , and will combat again , without cause as without fear , wherever I

      may he , the wicked oppressors of my country—falsehood , in whatever guise she may clotho herself , and the powers which , like yours , rely upon maintaining 01 ' reinstituting the reign of privilege upon blind force , and upon tho negation of the progress of the peoples ; but I have fought with loyal arms ; never have I sullied myself hy calumny , or degraded myself by using the word assassin against one unknown to me and who was perhaps better than myself . God save you , gentlemen , from dying in exile ; because you have no such consciousness with which to console yourselves , Published at the price of a penny only , we anticipate that this pamphlet will have—what it so well deserves—an immense circulation amongst tho admirers of Mazzini , Rome , and Freedom .

      SUiYSIIDJE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY .

      BY THOMAS MARTIN WHEELER , Late Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company . Chap ter XXXIII . But lovely is a woman ' s soul , And e en when sorrow spurns control , Its selfishness she smothers ; And Mavy . 'though perchance the darfc Had entered deeper in her heart Ev ' n than her husband ' s breast ; yet cherished The thought that in his grief had perished , The thought , the sympathy for others ! So , roused at moments from her bow'd And brooded sorrow , she surveyed , Alarmed and anxious , the strange cloud That o ev her husband cast its shade . Too pure , too guileless to discover The barb and mystery of his soul , She dreamt not she beheld a robber , In him compassion would console .

      But oft , when Mary with her swecfc And her delicious beauty , stole Athwart his presence—seemed to fleet Tho demon from her husband ' s soul ! With a fixed and charmed eye , And a quick and startled sigh , Would his panting heart pursue her ! As if to use the fairy words—That Passion tuned to fancy ' s chords-He yearned to meet her silvery feet , His soul to pour unto her .

      Yet sometimes e ' en her magic failed , . And a darker power prevailed , Then a cloud came o er his air , Or a swift and angry glare In his gloomy eyeball glittered , And low . words he strung embittered , By the passions of a breast , Roused—a tempest from its rest . Lytton Bulwer . Arthur reached his desolate home , if an almost empty garret in a filthy Metropolitan alley deserves to be recognised by that name ; his wife was anxiously awaiting his return ; no cheerful blaze illumined' the grate—no candle shed its pale ray around—she sat by the remains of what had once been a window , ffazins- vacantl y on the roof of the

      opposite house , and listening to the rain as it pattered © n the tiles , and dropped heavily on the remnant of the pavement below ; grief was heavy at her heart , —the enthusiasm which once glowed in her bosom was for ever chilled , —misery had dimmed , the beauty of her countenance , and the voice that was once melodious in tho song , and the step that was once so light in the dance , were now sad and heavy , their harmony and elasticity had for ever departed ; with sensitive frames the volitions of the body depend greatly upon the temper of the mind ; continued sorrow acts as an opiate on the body , chilling and benumbing its faculties , until tho soul departs from it , and the mere mechanism remains , injured—disfi gured and bereft of its pristine

      vigour . Intent on her sombre meditations , she heard not the footsteps of her husband , and his intoxicating accents were the first harbingers of his return ; he threw down a quantity of silver on a box containining their scanty wardrobe , which served them for a table , and bade the astonished woman fetch wherewith to eat and drink ; in utter astonishment she silently obeyed , and the poor outcast throw himself on the bed , and was soon lost in slumber . The wife , in her innocence , imagined , when sufficiently collected to think upon the subject , that he had applied to some former acquaintance and procured this timely supply ; and of the handful of silver which he had scattered on the box but the smallest modicum was expended , and she

      speedily returned with a loaf and the necessary ingredients for making tea , and was followed by a boy bearing a small quantity of coal and wood . With unaccustomed cheerfulness she was soon busily employed in preparing this frugal meal ; the child , their darling Fanny , was awakened to partake of the welcome treat , but the husband still slumbered , and the poor wife , though longing to partake of tho smoking beverage , was unwilling to disturb his slumbers . O the patient virtues of womankind , how they shine when compared with man ' s selfish engrossments ; never does sympathy with the distress ol others forsake tho breast of woman ; never does their own grief make them callous to the feelings of their fellow-sufferers . For upwards of

      an hour did Mary wait iu patience the period of her husband awakening , unwilling to lose the pleasure of his participating with her in their cheerful meal , and Arthur , when ho awoke , was parched and feverish , —the conflicting emotions of his mind , and the unusual quantity of liquor he had partaken , caused him to feel lassitude and depression , and to Mary ' s inquiries relative to his possession of so much money , he replied , that he had found the purse in the street , and that delirious with joy , he had partaken of brandy , and becoming stupmed , had not yet examined his prize ; be then handed her tho purse , which she took without the remotestsuspicion of the truth of the narration , and emptying its contents , found , to her astonishment , upwards of

      twenty sovereigns , in addition to the silver she had previously received ; this was indeed a perfect mine of wealth as compared with their previous indigence , and though Mary spoke of tho loss it would he to the owner , yet she felt no scruple of conscience in applying it to satisfy their wants , hut seemed rather to regard it as a kind gift of Providence to remove them from the temptations of misery . Arthur , pleased with the success of his stratagem , and anxious to avoid further questioning , pleaded illness , and was soon in the world of visions , hut joy kept Mary long awake , —a thousand ways had she to consider how the money might be most advantageously laid out , until the bitter reflection came over her that had this treasure been theirs hut a

      few weeks earlier her lost Arthur mi ght still have been nestling in her bosom , and the vain regret bedewed herpillow with bitter tears , and more than balanced her previous pleasure . Joy and sorrow are so mingled in the cup of human existence that the sweets of the one arc oft neutralised by the bitters of the other ; seldom indeed can we empty the chalice of its divine nectar but the poison lurking in its dregs insiduously mingle with the draught , and the balm is turned into gal ) . A week has elapsed ; they have removed from their former filthy abode ; the pawnbroker has been visited , and " they arc again clad in decent apparel , and Arthur being now enabled to appear in the lace of day lias received tho promise of a situation : the * 'glow of

      health begins to appear upon their haggard cheeks , and Mary ' s spirits rise pvoportionably with their improved prospects , but it is not so with Arthur , he is no longer the even-spirited character of our former tale , —a weight seems hanging upon his mind , which all the endearments of Mary serve not to remove , —he had ascertained , by a report in some newspapers which he had borrowed to look at the advertisements , that the man ho had robbed was Walter North , Esq ., who that day had been created Lord Maxwell ; the particulars were too minutethe time and place too accurately engraven on his memory—to leave him a shadow of doubt , that the friend of his early years—the brother of his once adored and lamented Julia—had been the victim to

      his necessities , and the knowledge of this fact imparted additional uneasiness to his mind ; ho morbidly conceived that he had trampled upon the memory of his lost love , and insulted her in her grave by committing this outrage upon her brother ; he knew not to the full extent how treacherous that brother had proved to her , —he dwelt only on the insult to the dead , and even fancied ho could hear her upbraid him with it . Conscience , what cowards thou dost make even of the strongest minded , until familiarity with crime begets indifference , and success or punishment alike has taken off the novelty of tho first plunge

      into tho turbid waters of criminality . The man who , driven by stern necessity , has committed one crime , is harassed by vain remorse during the remainder of his existence , whilst the man of many crimes is hardened and indifferent ; but better far to our ideas of relig ion and morality is the victim to one great and solitary crime , than the man of the world , —the respectable villain , whose whole life is a series of meanness and hypocrisy , unrelieved by magnanimity of any description , —true , he evades the law and the law ' s justio , but ho is none the less a villain , —the gold that he accumulates may be encrusted with the gore of his starving victims , —

      Suiysiidje And Shadow ; A Tale Of The Ni...

      tho respectability of which he boasts may be based on the ruin and prostitution , of hundreds , —the blighted hearts he lias trampled upon may be thickly strewn about his path , —but he recks it not , the world smiles on him , he has no remnant of natural religion in his soul , and ho knows no remorse ; with demure and sanctified countenance he worships in the temple of his God , and boasts , with the Pharisee of old , " that he is not a sinner like other men ; " well might the glorious Byron sing , " Oh for a forty parson power to sing thy praise , hypocrisy . " Arthur Morton , driven by poverty to crime , endured more mental anguish from this one unguarded act than ho had ever experienced during his many and appalling privations ; in vain did reason plead , that though he had broken the

      conventions of society , yet had lie but obeyed the first great law of nature , self-preservation ; that the gold he had stolen through life , and wealth to him and his family was bnt an atom from the store of his former schoolfellow , —an atom that would have been dissipated in vice , or squandered in frivolity , — ifc nevertheless haunted him like a spectre , and cast a still darker shadow over his dreary fate , and yet he was no victim to religious fantasies ; it was no supernatural terror that prostrated his mind , it was his high sense of rectitude—his pure feelings of morality—which had been broken and disturbed , and the wound bled the more inwardly from its outward concealment ; and when time , that great opiate to all cares had modified his feelings of regret , and restored somewhat of serenity to his

      mind , in the irregular impulses of his after career an astute pyscolist might trace the working of some secret crime which had deranged the balance of his mental faculties , and threw its perturbing influence over his conduct . Oh ye sages and philosophers who affect to trace the hidden springs of the human mind , —to picture its strength and its weakness , its growth and its decay , and to outrival the religion of old , —have ye no balm to bestow on a wound like this ? is their no restorative in your mental pharmacopeia for a guilty conscience ? can ye not compete with the priest and the confessor , and speak peace to the shaken mind ? can ye give no absolution to the erring but repenting mortal 1 if not , vain is your craft . The grand impostures of former times were more in accordance with the feelings of frail humanity , —more soothing to the hopes and aspirations of the bleeding heart than tho stern wisdom of tho present day , —they , with all their seeming pride and austerity , felt more nicely the

      pulse of the great human heart , —dived more minutely into its hidden intricacies , and restored its beatings to a more healthy tone than all your boasted philosophy can effect , —hence the ascendancy they gained over the minds of men , —hence the vast empire they erected in the human soul , the ruins of which still strike us with awe and wonder . Vast fragments of a mi ghty fabric , destined , perchance , under a new phase , and with the lights of a new experience , to again regain the empire of the mind , and , Colossus Tike , bestride the portals of the soul , making puny the crafts of the present age ; for what is Communism but a new organisation of the disjointed fragments of the gigantic past , —a fresh breathing into tho dying clay of past existence ; a resurrection of the soul of decaying humanity , divested of tho grossness and impurities of its former material being ? in a word , a new earth created from the ruins of a former world , —purified by tho fire of revolution , and rendered sacred by the blood and martyrdom of its founders .

      New Strand Theatre. The Production Of Fi...

      NEW STRAND THEATRE . The production of five act comedies at this house has been attended with great success . The School for Scandal and the Rivals have been added to the list , and tho Road to Ruin was on Tuesday night excellently played by nearly the whole of the company . This alteration in the style of tho performance dates from the engagement of Mrs . Glover . A pleasant trifle called the Man-trap has been brought out . Alfred ( Mr . W . Farren , jun . ) , the son of Colonel Beaumont ( Mr . Farren ) , is about to be married to the Countess de Rosseille ( Mrs .

      Stirling ) , a widow many years his senior . The father arrives in a rage , but is met by the widow disguised as an anticiuated coquette ? who confirms his opinion that she is a " Man-trap . " She then appears in her usual attire , and pretending to be her own daughter , captivates him to such an extent , that he resolves to marry her himself , while a wife is found for Alfred in the person of her actual daughter , Florence ( Miss R . Isaacs ) . This piece , which we are assured , is original , is well acted , and is enlivened by some music sung by Miss Isaacs and Mr . IT . Farren , jun .

      Lyceum Theatre. An Elegant Adaptation Fr...

      LYCEUM THEATRE . An elegant adaptation from the French , by Mr . Charles Dance , was produced on Tuesday night , under the title of Delicate Ground . A Republican legislator of France , in 1793 , Citizen Sangfroid ( Mr . Charles Matthews ) , wishes to euro his wife ( Madame Vestris ) , of a romantic passion for an empty-headed aristocrat ( Mr . Roxby ) . He admits the fact of the lady ' s predilection for another with tho most provoking indifference , and consents to make tho lovers happy by availing himself of the facile law of divorce prevalent at tho time . His coolness has the desired effect . The lady and her lover , now they have full liberty to throw themselves into each other ' s arms , discover that they are in a state of mutual indifference , and the capricious fair one is but too glad to remain with her husband . Trilling as this plot may seem , it is tho vehicle for introducing some excellent scenes , in which the three personages , who have the stage to themselves , are played off against each other with much force ,

      while the dialogue docs tho greatest credit to the English adaptor . Almost every lino is a point , so that the wholo sparkles with wit and worldly shrewdness , the grand purpose of the piece being to exalt common sense at the expense of sentimentality . Still , with all its merits , the piece would have fallen comparatively flat had it been less perfectly played . The imperturbable coolness of Mr . Charles Matthews , and the neatness and grace of Madame Yestris , as each , in hope of victory , darted a polished repartee at the other , had all the charm of the best French acting . Mr . Itoxby , as the " spooney" lover , presented an apt surface of vacuity for the thrusts of his more astute opponent . The costumes contributed much to the general effect . Loud and repeated applause from an audience who had been kept on the qui vive during the whole progress of the piece , followed its conclusion .

      The Hudson Testimo.Vial.—It Will Be Reme...

      The Hudson Testimo . vial . —It will be remembered that during the Ml ot 1 S-15 a certain monomania pervaded the railway world , to give Mr . Hudson a testimonial for his great and valuable services to the railways . Every one hastened to give solid honour to tho great man and to join the list of subscribers . Among them were numbered ladies , gentlemen , squires , clergymen , & c , even some of the railway papers , but not Herapath ' s Journal nor The Times . The subscriptions were not in little paltry sums but flowed in round £ 5 ' s , £ Ws , £ 25 ' s , i-D 0 ' . s . Some went as far as to give their hundreds . In short , there hardly ever was such a subscription to any one man except to Mr , Cobdcn . A sum of about £ 1 ( 5 , 001 ) was apparently subscribed , and , wc

      believe , exceeding £ lo , 000 actually realised . For it must be observed that some were mere decoy ducks , particularly among Mr . Hudson ' s engineering friends , whose names figured for sums they never paid . For the presentation of this testimonial a committee was appointed , to whose account , we understand , the subscriptions were paid into the York Union Bank ; Mr . Close being appointed the honorary secretary , a capital fellow "to make things pleasant , " was so careful to carry out his " pleasant" views , and "to make things extensively pleasant , " that ho appended to the cud of his advertisements the following considerate notice : — " Several persons having applied to tho committee to be allowed to contribute to tho

      testimonial , though not railway proprietors , the committee fell that as h is given to Mr . Hudson for the public benefit he has conferred [ how true ! how rich !] all parties should be at liberty to subscribe . " Well , many of them did subscribe , and , as above observed , between £ 15 , 000 and £ 10 , 000 was paid into the York Union Bank to the account of the committee . Mr . Hudson was at that time chairman , we believe , of the bank , and whether it was to avoid a painful pressure on his modesty , by a public presentation , or to save the committee trouble and " make things pleasant , " wo know not , but we understand the money was turned over from the credit of the committee to the private credit of Mr . Hudson , and consequently was never presented

      to him ; but it is not the less true that Mr . Hudson had it , and , as rumoured , bought " Punch's " Gibraltar with it . Now , a question has been asked of us . As the Union Bank suffered the money to be turned over from one account to another , as it is supposed , without the committee ' s authority , whether it is not liable to replace it to the credit of the committee ? We do not undertake to answer this question , not being familiar with the circumstances ; but we venture to say , if the committee lays hands on the money again , it will hardly return to Mr . Hudson ' s pocket . Most likely it would flow back through tho channels whence it came , and " make things pleasant" beyond description to the good matured subscribers .
