      SATfU THE VOICE TRULY . There lives a voice within me , Gueoi-anjtl of my heart ; And its sweet listings win me , Till tears -will often start ; Up , evc-i-iuoreltspringeth , like hidden melody , And evermore it singeth , This song of songs tome : " This world is f uS of beauty , As other worlds above , And , if we did our duty , It might be full of love . " If faith and love and kindness , Passed , coin , ' twixt heart and heart , Bigotry ' s darkest blindness . And hatred would depart . 3 f men were more forgiving ,

      "Were kind words oft ' ner spoken Instead of scorn—so grieving—There would , be fewheart-broken . "Whcu plenty ' s round us smiling , "Why wakes this cry for bread ? "Why are crushed millions toiling Gaunt—clothed inrags , —unfed ? The sunny Mils and valleys , Blush , rijie with fruit and grain , But the lord ' . ing in the palace , Still robs his fellow men . Oh ! God ! what hosts are trampled , Amid this erusnfor gold ; "What noble hearts are sapped of might"What spirits lose life ' s hold ! And yet , upon this God-blessed earth , There ' s space for every one—Millions of acres wait the seed , And food rots iu the sun .

      Oh I this world is full of beauty As other worlds above 1 And if we did our duty , It mig ht l-e full of love ' . let the grim altar perish , With cursed war ' s gory splendour And men shall learn to cherish ; Peelings more kind and tender . If gold were not an Idol , Were mind and merit worth—Oh , there might be a bridal , Between high heaven and earth ! : Wcre truth our uttered language 1 Angels might talk with men ; And God-iliumined earth should see , The golden age again I Be true to one another .

      "We'll vanouishhate and crime ; And grasp the hand of a brother In any laud ov clime' . Por , the leaf-tongues of the forest , The flower-lips of the sod—The birds that hymn their raptures , Into the ear ofGod—And the sweet wind that bringeth Soft musie from the sea , Bave each a voice that singeth . This song of songs to me : — * ' This world is full of beauty , As other worlds ahove , And if we did our duty , Jt might be full of love . " T . Gebald Massei VilriJue " Spirit of Freedom . "

      CIIAETIST TRACTS FOE THE TIMES . 2 vo . Yffl . Chartism , and the Charter , defended . By the Kiekpaie Chartist Pmsoxeks . London : J . Watson , 3 , Queen'shead Passage , Paternoster-row . is tMs tract we have the continuation and conclusion of flic defence of Chartism , eom-MencodinNo . YIL The Mowing extracts truthfully narrate—and very properly defend —the course pursued by the Chartists during

      IUE AXTI-COEX LAW AGITATION . The agitation ori g inated with the lancashire cotton spinners , some of whom had previously joined in Massacring the people who assembled at Petcrloo for the same purpose in August , 1 S 19 , the only difference being that lionry Hunt required Universal Sunraire with a . Repeal " of the Corn laws . The i-dse statements with which the Pree Traders endeavoured to prop up their arguments , called for the opposition of the leading Chartists , and the doctrines of Pree Trade were m ade the subject of SDarching scrutiiw bv these able and indomitable champions of the ' rights of labour . The lying sophistries of tlie paid lecturers of the "Anti-Corn law league , " were scattered to the winds , and on

      every occasion that the league hirelings ventured t « hold a public discussion they were uniformly defeated . "We hare been termed disturbers , obstructives , Ac , for honestly upholding our views on these occasions , but , let the real facts be known , a'id it will then be seen , that the Chartists merely acted on the defensive . "When the Pree Traders iC'imd their arguments refuted at open air or public m-eeiings , they betook themselves to the exclusive -svstemi and under the pretence of ascertaining public opinion , contrived , by means of the ticket system , to exclude the only portion of the public who would become sufferers through the establishment of their -views , namely ; the working class . * ' * Thcv abased the power which they gained under

      the Municipal Reform Act , to stifle discussion , ana frequently introduced policemen to coerce and overawe an adverse meeting . They convened packed meetings , issuing tickets to then-lacqueys and dcpi-mlents , and afterwards published the resolutions « s the free and untraminelcd decision of the public . They employed bands of ruffians to bludgeon and maltreat their opponents : and caused tlie newspapers in their pay to falsify the decisions of public meetings . As a proof of this latter charge , we shall 2 : ve one glaring example , which , for unblushing Jalsehood , cannot be paralleled even by our notoriously lying press . The Pree Traders of Coventry convened a nieeiuig of the inhabitants of Warwick shire , to consider the question of Free Trade . The meeting was held at the County IlalL and was so j-. umerous that it had to be adjourned to St . IMicliaeTs Churchvard . A strina of resolutions was

      prepared for the occasion , but the first , which asserted the principles of Free Trade , was rejected by : i large majority ; and an amendment in favour of the People ' s Charier carried in its stead , amidst enthusiastic cheering , and so decisive and determined was the opposition to the object of the con-Tesers of the meeting , that they declined to proceed with the remaining ' resolutions . ISow mark the fuhseauent conduct of these philanthropists . They forwarded the rejected resolutions to xhe Morning i'hronldt , and they were duly published in its columns , as being * agreed to at a meeting of the Ctnuity of "Warwick . This needs no comment . "iViriics tvLo can ha guilty of such a iraud on the pnblsc are utterly unworthy of confidence . Yet the ¦ . ( SjKciaUc chairman of that meeting , whose name was attached to this falsehood , has since been savor of the ancient cifcv of Coventry .

The milloeracy , taking advantage of a turn-out ibr wages , ende . -vvourcd " to excite the feelings of the f : ictory operatives by declaring that the sole cause f cfiowwages was the " existing Corn laws . Seme of il-. cjn closed their mills under this pretence , and ihas caused a huge number of people to be added to the mass of unemployed operatives , who availed tiiemselves of this opportunity of assemobng toother Tbev held huge meetings and unanimously T * ice & , that their onlv protection consisted in being fSrlv represented in Parliament according to the -document entitled " The People's Charter , and T . a versally rejected the Pree Trade doctrines of from town

      th ? ir employers . The feeling spread to town nntil a great portion of the manufacturing operatives of Yorkshire and lancashire , chiefly nnemployed , took np the question . The mill-owners , finding that the people would not succumb to their views , immediately turned round on them char ^ ino- them with riotous proceedings ot which themselves had been the sole authors , introduced the military , swore in special constables , and committed a large number of the leading Chartists to prison to lake " their trial at the ensuing ; assizes after which" they sat as jurymen , and repeated tie word " guilty" like a cuckoo ' s note , whenever any Ofthcapprehended opcratives ap peared before . than thuo consigning numbers of honest men to afelon s

      stand the disadvantages to which we have been subjected . * -- ¦ * Our brother Democrats ' will , at least , behold in these tracts , that imprisonment or suffering cannot destroy our love of principle . And that , even when in the hands , and under the power of our enemies , our hearts are with the people , and , however they may neglect or slight us in our seclusion , we do not forget our duty , from the performance of which no power on earth shall intimidate us . The writing of these tracts has been a labour of love , as not one filrthiug of benefit has accrued to us therefrom , not though any fault of printer or publishers , but from the difficulties to which wc have alluded . IVe intended to have carried them to a ' greater length , and to have entered into many questions of

      vitaiimportance to the working classes , so that the whole should have formed a manual of politics , and a clear definition of the social reforms which are necessary to the happiness of the people , so as that no demagogue or political adventurer should be enabled to cheat them . "We have performed part of the work , and concluded by a brief defence of Chartism , and shall continue to issue tracts under the same title , as opportunity offers , not vouching for the regularity of their publication , and we earnestly hope that our efforts may induce our readers to have an abiding faith in the ultimate success of the god-like princi ples of Democracy . Any errors which may appear must be excused for the reasons stated , and we trust that under more favourable auspices we may be hereafter enabled to communicate our thoughts to our proletarian brethren !

      As f ar as they have been published , these tracts do constitute " a manual of politics , " which every working man should possess , and , possessing , should " read , mark , learn , and inwardly digest . " "We sincerely hope that , ere long , we shall see our talented and patriotic brothers resume their literary labours under more encouraging circumstances . The loss will be the people ' s if they fail in their support of patriots so able , devoted , and incorruptible .

      The Uxbridge Spirit of Freedom , and Working Man ' s Vindicator . Conducted by Working Men . Uo . 4 , July . London : J . Watson , Queen ' s Head-passage , Paternoster-row . "Up to the mark , " must still be the verdict pronounced upon this deserving little publication . This number contains able and eloquent articles on - the " Priesthood ; " in reply to the insolent and not unusual admonition of the privileged classes to " leave politics alone , ana mind your own business ;" " The Monopoly of the Soil , " & C :, & c . We are pressed for room , otherwise we would quote from each of these articles ; as it is , we can find room only for the following extract from a spirited letter to the Editor : —

      stbuggi . es Ton s-bsbdoii . Glory to the noble and long-enduring patriot , Joseph Mazzini ! and glory to Borne and her immortal children ! for they struggle in liberty's -vanthey have heard the ancestral voices that still linger in the seven-hilUd city , and answered . Rome , once the mistress of nations , hath felt the blood of freemen trickling warm to her old heart , and she yearns to outstrip allher olden glory !—and thanks , heartfelt passionate thanks to the men of France who would have grasped in fraternity the hands of their Roman brctaers , and joined them in their holy warfare against tyranny . We are informed that the funds rose amazingly at Changarni ? r ' s success in barricade

      destruction —of course the funds rose , do they not always rise when tyranny is in the ascendant ? The mOnied classes in France will gloat , l # e our own , over the sacrifice of life at the shrine of " order , "—they a-e ignorant of the causes and aims of revo ' ution , beyond iheir own selfish aggrandisement ; but I say , it were a gain to humanity , and better were it that the minions of tyranny were extirpated in one night —better fifty years of blood than that this infernal thim ? called " order * ' should endure much longer "Peace and order \ " ay , ye hush the voices of men clamnrou-i for justice , in DEATH , and call that ' Peace ; " ye would have the world made up of

      Sunshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The 3stse...

      SUNSHINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE 3 STSETEENTH CENTURY . BY THOMAS ' lUffim WUEELEIl , Late Secretary to the National Charter Association and ^ National Land Company . Chapter XIV . From out of everything around he drew A vein of deep and melancholy thought ; 3 fo plant more sprightly than its fellow grew—Ifo birds could sing slie ' ir melody untaught—Jfo slightest object past unheeded by , But furnish'd food for thought and minstrelsy . * * * * His home , her home , how sweetthe accents sound , To every heart in every clime they come , "With fairest dreams and visions interwound ; Dreams of past bliss enhancing present gloom . How fondlv in the exile ' s heart abound

      Those o ' erwrought fancies of the joys of home ! How fondly stftThc paints his native place ! How decks it out in charms none else can trace . ' Bate . Speedily the vessel nearcd the wished-for port , — they had been fire weeks at sea , and a few more days would end their voyage . The weather continuing calm , they often passed the forenoon on deck , gazing on the vast expanse of ocean , and noting with curiosity each incident that broke the monotony of the scene , —a cormorant chasing a flight of sea-gulls—a shark in pursuit of the boneta or flying fish—a tree borne down by the river from its parent forest and launched on the mighty ocean—each event was a text from whieh Arthur drew a homily ,

      pleasing and instructive , or dark and chequered like his own fate , but all , all were tinctured with his political aspirations . The cormorant was a picture of the world , where the great preyed upon the small , growing fat and luxurious in the exact proportion that they ground down and oppressed those beneath them . The shark was an emblem of the law ; the poor boneta was the victim , that , driven out of its element , sought shelter in its dry atmosphere , but finding it not was again speedily compelled to seek shelter beneath the waves , until ch-ised and driven from one element to the other its weary wings can no longer sustain it , and it falls into the jaws of its stronger pursuer . The tree was an emblem of himself , that , torn from his parent

      earth by the whirlwind of power , was driven about by the waves of adversity , and knew not where his resting place would be . Thus did his ever active mind feed upon every aliment , drawing nourishment to his soul , and strengthening the bonds which bound him to his fair auditor . Seated at dinner a few days prior to the termination of the voyage , Mr . TVceks , as captain of the Camden , and hound to see the remnant of his crew and passengers to their destination , informed Arthur of his mtention to take passage to New York for all those who chose to avail themselves of the opportunity , as speedily as a ship should present it-Arthur thanked him for the information , and trusted that when they next sailed in company their -voyage would prove more prosperous than the last . Mr . Burke seized the opportunity to call on Capt .

      Wickham for an extra bottle after dinner to pledge their prosperous voyage . " I would thank you for a portion of the breast of that chicken , " said Mrs . Elkinson to Mr . Burke ? " Chicken , madam , our voyage has been so long that it has positively got as tough as an old hen , though the cook assures me that he bred them himself ; ° I fear that the rascal having a greater demand , owing to the honour of your company , ( bowing to Arthur , Capt . Weeks , and the Purser of the Camden , ) has been serving us with the parents instead of their ofispring . " - ¦ " Shall I help you to a little of this loin of lamb , Mr . Burke , " asked Capt . Wickham , " seeing you prefer the juniors of the family ?" " 3 fo , captain , in this instance , I prefer the parent . Mr . Morton , I will thank you for a portion of thpt haunch of mutton . "

      " Will you take turnips or artichokes , Mi-. Burke , " inquired Julia ? ' . ?« The turnips yesterday were ill-mashed , and the milk sour , I will therefore prefer artichokes . Ah ! captain , I would certainly discharge your cook , " said Mr . Burke , as be swallowed the first mouthful , ' / he has put sweet sauce instead of milk and butter to the artichokes . " Dinner being disposed of , and wine introduced , in many successive bumpers did Mi * . Burke propose a prosperous voyages-abundance of provisions—and a good cook to Capt . "Weeks and his companions when next they sailed . The wine flowed freely , for Capt . Wickham was a liberal man , who disdained not to worship at the shrine of Bacchus when his duties

      Sunshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The 3stse...

      interfered not with his pleasures ;" all-were ' elate with the generous liquor , and the speedy prospect of reaching . port . Julia aiid Arthur alone were melanchol y—they had so lived in . the past that they thought not of the future , but this dinner conversation had roughly reminded them that the hours of their happiness were rapidly gliding away , and that a few days would in all probability dissovor their destinies " for ever , —bitter , indeed , was tho thought , and no ray of hope from the future came to sweeten or soothe the recollection .

      Their rcilections were broken by Mrs . . Elkinson inquiring of Arthur , " whether he should avail himself of Capt . TYeeks ' s offer or remain some time in the islands ?" Arthur , in a desponding manner , replied , " that island or continent were alike to him ; that his own exertions must create himself a home ; but he presumed that America would offer the fairest prospect . " Mrs . Elkinson thought otherwise , and offered her interest to secure him an eligible situation either in her son ' s establishment , or on some neighbouring plantation . , Gratefully did Arthur thank the kind-hearted woman for this acceptable offer ; a vague dim hope of future hours of happiness in Lady Baldwin ' s company insensibly animated him and dispelled the melancholy that brooded around him ; and Julia , though she took no part in this conversation , with

      what feelings of delight- did she listen to it ! she could have fallen at tlie feet of her kind chaperone and thanked her for thus gilding the dark cloud that hovered over her fate . She had no hope for future happiness—no dream in which her fate could mingle with that of Arthur ; but the thought that he would be an inhabitant of the same island—that she , perchance , might hear of his welfare , might even catch a glimpse of his presence , was a happiness which seemed great indeed when compared with the gloom which previously shaded her thoughts ; and as she walked the deck that evening , leaning on the arm of her beloved , a calm and tranquil joy pervaded her bosom , and found utterance in her sweet and silver tones—she spoke of her childhood and the home of

      her infancy , of her loved parents , and her once adored brother ; and though she had not many ties to attach her to Albion ' s snores , yet she feared that all the splendour nature had lavished on a tropical clime would not solace her for the recollections of home . And Arthur , he , too , partook of this joy , and grew eloquent as he replied to thegentle breathings of His childhood ' s choice . " Yes , Lady Baldwin , the green fields of our native land , its pleasant vales and rural villages , will live long in our imagination , becoming more bright and lovely as revolving years increase our absence from them ; and though the land of the tropics may be rich and gay with plants and flowers , whose dyes seem steeped in Heaven ' s

      own oeauteoua arch , ana its atmosphere glitter with winged wanderers , whose plumage shames the sober tints of the noi th , and though the regal sun shed its splendours over a sky whose beauty is unknown in colder climes , yet will our hearts cling to the past and pant to return to the land of the daisy and the primrose , the haunt of the redbreast and the ni ghtingale ; still shall we gaze on the cold star of the north and recall , in fancy ' s imagery , the happy English hemes its beams enlighten . Truly does the poet say" Oh talk of spring to the trampled flower , Of light to the fallen star , Of glory to those who in danger ' s hour Lie cold on the fields of war ;

      But ye mock the exile ' s heart when ye tell Of aught but the home where it pines to dwell . " Thus did this youthful pair give vent to their feelings of joy , —they dare not speak of each other , or trace their future ' lot , this would break the spell which binds them , and lay bare the rocks and shoals of misery and guilt by which they are surrounded , so they fall back on the past , and , in union of sentiment and commingling of recollections , nourish that love which , pure m itself , will , if madly

      indulged in , bring at least on one of them the world's censure and the world's scorn . Harsh and unfeeling world—how many noble minds have sunk beneath thy iron censure—how many gentle hearts have rushed into eternity rather than writhe beneath thy cruel scoru . Hard is the struggle and difficult the choice . Poverty and the world's reprobation ,-but love , blissful love , on the one hand ; wealth and respect , but a blighted heart and an early grave on the other . Julia chose the latter , an d the world ' s wisdom hallows her choice . Who shall dare to

      contend against it , let him prepare for buffets , sharp and severe , for he has an enemy to contend with who , once enraged , is hard to be appeased . Religion may boast of its devotion and philosophy , of its equanimity , but both , when" severely tried , have bowed to the opinions and customs of the world , false and injurious though they know them to be ! How long shall man remain a slave to this arbitrary rule ! How long shall woman wither beneath its fiery breath ! Alas ! we progress in all else ; the

      bands that hound the slave dissolved before the breath of public opinion ; the sway of the few over the many is gradually losing its potency ; even that dire monster , superstition , is fast losing its envenomed fangs ; hut the most fatal of all errors , a false and slavish code of morals , still reigns in all its pristine barbarity , diffusing its poison through every ramification of society ; every effort to loosen its hold seems only to tighten the chain , —its martyrs are few and far between , none daring to encounter the awful fiend .

      Present Political Aspect And Prospects O...

      PRESENT POLITICAL ASPECT AND PROSPECTS OF PRANCE . ( From 37 o . II . of the Democratic Itevieiv for July . ) Paris , Juse 20 th . —Paris is in a state of siege ; the Democratic Press is swept away ; and the printing offices of the popular organs have been devastated by a delirious National Guard ; the prisons are full of patriots ; the representatives of the Mountain have been arrested , or are fugitives ; Lyons , our sister , has been conquered and bombarded ; daily does an insane majority make a fresh attack on the constitution ; never , in the worst times , did the cause of democracy seem to be move hopeless ; nevertheless , we exclaim to our friends , to France , to Europe that

      expects salvation through democracy : Nothing is lost;—take courage . As on the 29 th of January and the 20 th of March , the Government , on the 13 th of June , wished to entice Socialism into the streets , in order to crush it with bayonets . Socialism did not answer the perfidious appeal . By a pacific manifestation the people evinced their sympathy for the Roman Republic ; then , dejected and sorrowful , they returned to their homes ravaged by hunger and cholera . The day of battle is not yet come . Socialism does not wish to establish itself by force . When it has obtained a majority , the Revolution will develop itself , and there will remain only the task of chastising the wretches who , by their

      sanguinary plots , have retarded social renovation . Tlie day is not distant ; for Socialism progresses rapidly . On the 10 th of December we had only 400 , 000 votes . At the election of the 13 th of May we mustered 2 , 900 , 000 voters of the deepest Red , 100 , 000 more suffrages would have given us a majority . Five departments voted exclusively for the Socialists . In all the manufacturing and central towns our lists obtained a striking majority . If the Legislature exhibits a factious majority of 500 Royalists , wc may trace them from the rural districts influenced by the tyranny of the great landowners , and kept by them in a systematic state of misery , ignorance , and brntishness .

      By the result of the election for President of the Assembly it was immediately discovered that the forces of the two parties were thus divided ; 810 votes for the Royalists , 75 for the Republicans of the National , - and 180 for the Mountain . In this situation , conciliation was impossible . On the very first day of the session , the Royalists gave way to such violence , that even Bugeaud , the- man of the Rue Transnonain , was oblig ed to remind the Moderates of moderation . Ledru Rollin was insulted at the tribune . All the propositions of the Left were systematically repelled ., " We will yield nothing , " exclaimed tho Royalists . The amnesty was rejected without discussion ; and then the men in power , sure of impunity , decided on striking the

      Roman Republic a final blow . ' .,, To mankind and history is Cavaignac responsible for the massacres of June , for the slaughter of three thousand prisoners . And you , Barrot , and you , Louis Buonaparte shaR be called to account for all the blood , shed under the walls of Rome ; of that Republic coolly assassinated by another Republic You speculated on the massacre of our soldiers sent against a town formidably defended ; you sent a few regiments without artillery , relying on their defeat , because you wished to induce " French honour" to avenge a cheek prepared by your infamous calculations . Your general thought fit to accumulate mistake upon mistake , which cost the lives of thousands of Frenchmen .

      For this , anywhere else , the traitor Oudinot would have been tried by a court-martial . But you required a pretence for continuing your work of carnage . This work is , undoubtedly , consummated by this time . You have the curses of Europe ; and chastisement awaits you . Lithe midst of political commotions , Socialism continues its overwhelming march . Throughout France the holy doctrines ot fraternity and equality are propagated with indefatigable zeal . During the last two months , more than six million copies of Socialist pamphlets have either been sold or

      distributed gratuitously ! , When brutal . force suppressed the organs of the popular press the daily circulation of the democratic murnals was as follows : —Le PeupU . nearly 70 , 000 copies , La , Eepiiblique 45 , 000 , La Vrai Rtyubliquc . 20 , 000 , La Reforme 15 , 000 , La Revolution and 'La Democratic Pacifiqae , each nearly 10 , 000 . What compared with this immense publicity were the 6 , 000 subscribers of the Debate , the 20 , 000 of the Prcsse and the 20 , 000 of the Constitttlionncf ? Every day tho number of working men ' s associations is increasing , and acav . iviu « additional strength ,

      Present Political Aspect And Prospects O...

      The people understand that no ' revolution will bo of any benefit : to th ' erri , that even universal suffrage will- be only n , bitter " mocker } ' ,- as -long as man is used up by man . Thus did Louis Blanc . from tlie tribune of the LuxomboiuV , lav down the problem of social revolution . ; . Thank ' s to the intelligence of the people , and to the heroic efforts ^ of the delegates ol tlie Lu xembourg ' who constituted tiiemselves the unliring apostles of social doctrines , the work of emanci pation proo-resses . The Parisian associations comprise already more than 6 , 000

      woi'icmen iroeil Irom the tyranny of masters . One hundred and fifty associations belonging to ntty-nvc trades arc now in operation . I will instance , among others the tailors , the shoemakers , the hatters , the bakers , the barbers , the cooks , the button makers , the wine-shop-keepers , the saddlers , the coachmakors , the joiners , the cabinet-makers , the locksmiths , the masons , the carpenters , the pamtorvthe upholsterers , tho tinmen ,, the washerwomen the sempstresses , the shirt-makers , the staymakers , & c .

      Several of these associations haveattained colossal proportions . The barbers and hair-dressers have , inlaws , thirty-seven branches , whose customers equal incumber those 800 masters that Paris contains , in the town and suburbs , the cooks have twelve large establishments , many of which possess rooms capable of receiving 1 , 500 and 2 , 000 persons each . Here wore held the great popular banquets pf recent . times . The value of these social establishments , now amounts to several millions of francs ; a capital formed entirely from the labour of the shareholders .

      Bonds of strict fraternity exist between the different associations ; and they exchange their produce ; . which plan suppresses the ruinous interference of the dealer who narasitically places himself between the producer and the consumer . This medium will be entirely destroyed when the associations are rich enough to establish and employ on their own account manufacturers of raw material , and to found agricultural colonies destined to regenerate agriculture . In all the large towns of France associations have been formed on the same principles as those , in Paris . At Rouen , Nantes , Lille , Bordeaux , Limoges , Rheitns , Lyons , and other places they are inactive operation ; and arrangements have been made for the exchange of produce , between them and the Parisian associations . The movement has spread into ''' Bel g ium ; and Brussels poescsscs several associations , stick as shoemakers , compositors , upholsterers , marble-masons , tailors , & c . .

      I can to-day only sketch an outline of this immense subject ; another time I will enter into details , if you think that the English Proletarians take an interest in hearing of the efforts that their brethren of France are making to prevent man being used up by man—a horrible system that has afflicted society for aires .

P ., presided : — " Strange , indeed , it may appear , but yet too true—an English M . P , is to be our chairman at the meeting , and English gentlemen are to be the leading men . The whole body , with very few exceptions , of our Irish members , about whose election to Parliament so much fuss has been made , are not the sympathisers iu Irish misery . They have their own affairs to look

      to , and their own representations to make . They want Ireland for themselves , and not for the Irish . On yesterday I was speaking with one of those , and he made to me the humiliating declaration that ho had a place , and therefore dare not speak but according to his instructions . One grand proposition I have just heard from the lips of an Irishman in this , room to-day— ' At the next elections let the Irish elect a body of Englishmen of wealth as their representatives in Parliament , and they have some chance of justice to Ireland . ' The people of England do really feci for the Irish misery , and are willing to relieve it ; but one thins vexes them , and

      it is this constant cry of want from those districts to which relief has been sent . Those people expect some return . from money bestowed in the shape of fruits from the earth . Hence it is that my proposition of establishing a universal system of agricultural schools is fast gaining ground . Such establishments , I have reason to believe , will be ere long founded by the government . " Destruction of a Church by Fire . —The Free Church in Great Charles-street , in this city ( in connexion with the Established Church ) , was destroyed by fire last night . The cause , it is believed , was some accident occuring to the gas pipes . The walls alone remain .

      The State Prisoners . —The Mountstuart Elphinstone has sailed for its destination from the Cove of Cork with the political prisoners , Martin and O'Doghcrty , a fact which has caused some surprise , as it was supposed that all the state prisoners would be sent together . Her Majesty ' s visit to Ireland . —The 'Dublin Evening Post says;— "We have great pleasure in being enabled to assure the public that before many weeks shall have passed , her Majesty and her illustrious consort will visit this metropolis , where we have no doubt a hearty Irish welcome awaits her . "

      Enforcemexi of Poor Rates in Ulster . —The Newry Telegraph contains the following : — "We lately stated that in the Uowry Union persons were being summoned in fifties and * sixties for non-payment of poor-rates . Wc have now to add that , ' the plot thickens , the work goes bravely on , ' and fresh fifties and sixties are called up to petty sessions to pay what they are quite unable to pay . Happy summary mode of preparing- , on a large wholesale scale , ' inmates for union workhouse ! The present

      state of things cannot last long . Wo both predict and require a change . " Check to Emigration . —According to a letter in the Evening Post tlie approaching harvest is an effectual check to emigration . Landlords who consent to grant leases at reduced rents have no difficulty in finding tenants , even in districts whore tracts of land had been neglected or abandoned last spring . Several proprietors , including Sir Compton Domville , Bart ., have made temporary reductions of their rents .

      Sale of Landed Property . —For the present it it almost hopeless to look for bidders for property . The Earl of Courtouti has for a long time been desirous of concentrating his property in the county of Wexford , where his residence is , in order to acquire more political influence in the county . He has repeatedly offered his admirably circumstanced county of Kilkenny estates for sale , intending with the purchase money to buy the Mount Norris property in Wexford , adjoining his own , but no purchaser will bid for his Kilkenny estates . It is quite a mistake to suppose that Lord Courtounis an embarrassed peer ; he is one of the most independent proprietors in Ireland , and the sole reason of his anxiety to part with the Kilkenny property arises from the cause mentioned . Neither docs a bidder appear for . the Buckingham estates , though

      their titles arc clear ; for who will buy land when it appears that on tlie 25 th of September next there will be a debt of half a million of money on thirtytwo poor-lavy unions , which would make a rate , as Sir James Graham calculates , of 25 s . in tho pound . It is very much ' complaiued of here by various partics , that this sisiple view of the case is blinked by parliament , and that such stress is laid on the importance of facilitating the sale of estates . But nothing could have been easier than the convey ancing _ of the Courtoun estates consequent on a sale ,, if purchasers had come forward . In truth , bidders are wanted for Irish property , and where they are to come' from ' is not shown . . A few days since , in the Bankruptcy Court , some wellcircumstanced property in the city of Cork was offered for sale in convenient lots , but no bidders appeared . —Daily News .

      Monday , July 2 . — Prospects op the Country . —The proceedings of the London corporation , in furtherance of tho suggestions of Sir Robert Peel , and of the objects of . the Encumbered Estates Bill , are the theme of every Irish journal . With an exception or two , this movement is regarded by the press of all shades , as one of the deepest importance to the future prosperity of Ireland , whilst it is calculated at once to produce good , fruit in the way of example amongst British capitalists . There are still very lamentable accounts of extreme distress in some southern and western districts , and there is little hope of alleviation until the harvest . However , if Providence bless the country with abundant crops , we may look with confidence , not only for present relief , but gradual recovery . .

      A Baronet in a Bridewell Guard ! — A Cork weekly journal , the Province of Munster , has the following singular paragraph : ' — " Sir Richard Moore , Bart ., - . the eldest son of the late Sir Emanuel Moore , has , we are informed , just been appointed one of our city Bridewell guard by the High Sheriff . This is , indeed , a strange position for the representative of one of our oldest baronetcies to occupy . What makes it tho " . more . ' distressing : is , that his poverty has not come of his own folly , but has been entailed on him by the indiscretion of others , "

      The Papal Fund . —The Right Rev . Dr . ^ Keating , Roman Catholic Bishop of Ferns , has received a letter from the Pope , acknowledging : the receip t of £ 902 , transmitted from that diocese . ' ¦ . -H arvest Prospects . -- None / of -the provincial journals received since Saturday make any allusion to the appearance of blight in the potato ; . on the contrary , they all represent the crop as looking healthy and vigorous , with no indication of the disease either in the stem or covering . In the county of Kerry , where a great breadth has been planted , new potatoes of an excellent quality are selling at Is . per stone . From all quarters the reports of the grain wops arc , without ft single ® swp-

      tion , of a most favourable description , and eivc promise of an unusually early and abundant " harvest . Late meadows have somewhat suffered from tho Ion " drought , but yesterday must have made amnio amends for this drawback , heavv showers of rain having fallen at intervals during the last 24 ' hours . EJECTMEXTS .-At the Cashel quartor-sossions now sitting there were 112 cases of ejectments entered , all of which wore undefended , ' the defendants appearing to be quite reckless of the issue . On Friday a decree was obtained b y Mr . ' Mahonv of

      uasnei , lor * 6 tos . against Mr . Robert Keating , M . P . for the county of Watcrford , being the rent due for a house he used in Cashel while superintendent under the Board of Works for carrying out the Drainage Act . The hon . member enjoyed a salary of 7 s 63 . per diem , and the rent was ' 7 s . a week for 28 weeks . It was while engaged in this employment that the electors of Watcrford fixed their choice on Mr . Keatinge as a suitable representative in the Repeal interest , to sot aside the claims of the son of one of tho best and most indulgent landlords in Ireland .

      Tuesbay , July 3 . —Tub Qukes ' s Visit . —At a meeting of tho corporation , yesterday , the Town Clerk read a letter from tho Lord Lieutenant to the Lord Mayor , enclosing a communication irom Sir George Grey , announcing that her Majesty will visit her Irish subjects as early , in August as the termination of the present session of parliamentwill permit . The Home Secretary ' s communication stated that , in consequence of the distress prevailing in this country , her Majesty will not visit Dublin in state ; and . that the Queen purposes to embark in the royal yacht , and to visit the Cove of Cork in the first instance—thence to proceed alon " the Irish coast to Dublin , and , after remaining in this city for a few days , as the Lord Lieutenant ' s

      guest , to visit Belfast , and cross over from the north to Scotland . —The town-council then proceeded to the election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year , and a most stormy discussion ensued on the question whether Alderman Kinahan , or Mr . John Reynolds , M . P ., should be chosen . The debate was vehement and personal . Alderman Hudson , the leader , of the Tories , making a very bitter and taunting speech against Mr . Reynolds , mocking at the hon . members sincerity , and imputing selfish motives to him . Mr . Reynolds was finally elected Lord Mayor , by a majority of thirty against thirteen . As the approaching visitof her Majesty is not one of state , it ia supposed that the present Lord Mayor of Dublin will not be made a baronetbut

      , that knighthood will be tendered to him . Destitution in ULsiER . -At the meeting of the fcowry board of guardians , on Saturday , communications were read respecting the deplorable distress amongst the peasantry in an isolated district of the county of Armagh , called Jonesborough , which however , is an exception to the general condition of that and other northern counties . The Ncwry Telegraph says : — " Information has reached us , on unquestionable authority , that many poor people in the neighbourhood of Jonesborough are trying to subsist on boiled nettles and a species of nuts called pig-nuts , poked from the ground , preferring doing this to surrendering their independence , and comin « into the workhouse . How are thoso ' iicnnle tn nnv

      a rate in aid ? They cannot do it ; neither can those whom Providence has blessed with the moans feel pleased at the idea that money is to bo wrung from them for strangers when their neighbours lire in such a deplorable state of want . " The Sultan . —Irish Distress . —During the last year , the Sultan subscribed the munificent sum of £ 1 , 000 to the fund raised to alleviate the misery which pervaded the southern and western districts of this country . An address of thanks to the Sultan was subsequently voted at a public meeting , at which the Earl of Charlemont presided . Mr . O'Brien , a native of this country , and holding an official situation at Constantinople , was selected for presenting the address to the Sultan . The following

      extract irom a letter , dated Constantinople , Juno o , to the Earl of Charlemont , contains the Sultan ' s answer . " The Sultan said , that he was greatly flattered by the terms in which the distinguished persons , from whom the address emanated , spoke of himself , and that he felt grateful for the kindl y feeling wliich they professed for the Turkish people . He said that he was deeply grieved when he heard of the distress which had . fallemipon the poor people of Ireland—that had he only listened to the dictates of his own heart he would have come to their assistance in a much more effectual manner . He was sincerely happy , he said , to hear that the sufferings of the Irish people were now at an end , and he hoped in God that henceforth thev would bo

      prosperous and contented . ' It was , moreover , my duty , ' continued the sultan , * to come to tho relief " of the poor people of Ireland , for they are the subjects of her Majesty Queen Victoria ; and the English nation , oyer which , I hope , her Majesty may long and . happily rule , has always been the best and firmest ally of Turkey . ' His Majesty spoke with an accent « o " f deep feeling , and with his eyes fixed upon me , as if he wished me to remark attentively what ho said , that I might afterwards repeat it to those who had entrusted me with the address . " Patrick . O'Biues . Murdkr i-v Tippebarv . —Mr . Denis Egan , son of Michael Egan , Esq ., of Ballydonah , Donegal , near Dunkerin , county Tipperary , ' was shot on Sunday , tho 1 st instant , by the hand of an assassin , while

      going to chapel . < Agriculture in Connauoht . —The vast improvement in husbandry in the western provinces , to which I lately called attention , is thus described by the Ballinadoe Star : — " Travel through what part of tho country you may ( and wo speak on the authority of a personal inspection of a large portion of the Western Province ) , tho gratifying conviction is forced upon you , that the old system of farming is completely exploded—you no longer witness a field half corn and half weeds , as heretofore , but everything indicating the possession of an amount of agricultural skill which the most sanguine , . three years since , would not have dared to " hope seeing in operation in a quarter of a century , so firmly rooted to old habits did our farming classes then

      seem . For this gratifying—this most important change—the thanks of every well-wisher of his country is due to Lord Clarendon , who , in originating the practical instruction system , adopted tho only cfScient means of grappling with an evil wliich had no small share in bringing Ireland to the miserable position through wliich she is at present struggling . " All this looks well for tie future . But in some western districts the prospect of an abundant harvest and the hopes of a revival of the potato , arc inducing the landlords to prepare for a resumption of the old and ruinous system which has indicted such frightful calamities upon the country . Tho following statement from the Roscommon Messenger , is significant as to the intentions of this class of

      proprietors , who will make desperate efforts to keep out of the range of the Encumbered Estates Act : — " The landlords , at least , so it would appear from their present conduct , arc beginning to dream of a return to tho old state of things . One good harvest , they fondly imagine , will bring hack rackrents , conacre , and the thousand and one means by which they contrived to live at ease on tlie poor man's labour . Rents are being enforced , ejectments are being brought , whole districts arc being cleared , everything is being done , to enable the landlords to resume , in the coming year , their old position . Iu believing in tho possibility of this , they are mistaken , grossly mistaken ; the old order of things has passed away , never to return . "

      Wednesday . —Crime in Tiiteraiiy . —After a long interval'of peace Tipperary has again become the theatre of assassination , ' and those other crimes for which its annals have obtained so infamous a notoriety . The Ncuagh papers-which reached this morning contain a fearful catalogue of outrages , including , tho particulars of Mr . Daniel Egan ' s murder , of the old stamp—manslaughter , firing at the person and into dwellings , threatening notices , & C .

      The Cholera. . Devonshire.—Saturday.—Thi...

      THE CHOLERA . . Devonshire . —Saturday . —This pestilence is now prevailing in several of the villages in the neighbourhood of Plymouth . At Noss it has much abated its rigour , so that the deaths are not anything so frequent as they were a week since ; tliere have , however , been three deaths during the last three days . It is currently reported that the medical inspector sent down from the Board of Health in London has expressed himself in very strong terms as to the unheal thiness of the locality of this village , and tho total unfitness of most of the houses for human habitations ; and that had the intensity of tho mortality not decreased the whole of the inhabitants would have been received on board some vessels supplied by the government for that purpose , and the village destroyed . Indeed ,

      the arrangements for this purpose went so . far that two vessels were ordered to be taken out from the Deyonport Harbour for this purpose . At Ycalmpton , a parish a few miles from Noss , and eight miles from Plymouth ,, a bad type of diarrhoea has been prevalent , and several deaths have been caused by it within the last few days . At Colbrook , a hamlet in tho parish of Plymptoii St . Mary ,, and about five miles from Plymouth , tho cholera made its appearance on Thursday . At half-past eleven o ' clockon the morning of that day Mr . Martin , a tenant to tho Earl . of . Morley ,- was attacked , and by eleven o ' clock the same evening ho was' dead . Two of his farm servants were attacked the same evening , and died on Friday morning . A Mrs . Parker , . who resided in a cottage opposite Mr . Martin ' s farm-house , was attacked on Friday morning , and died the same day ,. Several other cases have occurred . ' -

      BucKFRiAns . —Some surprise ' and alarm has been occasioned by tho sudden outbreak . of cholera in this locality , particularly near Apothecaries' -hall , A very . slight inspection of the place will render it rather a matter of wonder that it has so long escaped , The four streets called Earl-street , Water-lane , the Broadway , and St . Andrew's-hill , Qft ? iQ 5 C a space of about 180 yards , square . In this

      The Cholera. . Devonshire.—Saturday.—Thi...

      area there are , exclusive of'Hvcrv stables , ' eleven openings , which are njiiin subdiviVicd into varieties ot length , breadth , anu depth , called yards , streets , courts , and alleys : these varv from " five to fifteen feci in width , and arc " . form ed by manufactories , warehouses , shops . of all sorts , including taverns and gin shops ; thore is a ' so agi'iwc . m \ , nm \ , lastly , a number of small houses , wliich arc a <* ain subdivided into separate holdings , as many of them contain several families occupying one , two or three rooms- ^ thc latter rarely . Tho drnhm » c o £ this place u generally bad , and in some places notoriously imperfect , and some of the residents arc not very cleanly in their domicile ' s * Underneath and around this square runs a veryimportant portion of the sewage of London , and from some of these sewers an addition to the

      volatile poisons necessarily engendered in such a place is made . In Water-lane alone there are twenty-live gulley holes openinginto-a large sewer , about eighteen feet below the surface . These are untrapped , and the exhalations from them , at all times , unwholesome are at times intolerable . These holes are disposed in threes , and in one spot there are six within five yards . Water-lane is about fourteen feet in width , but slightly wider at each end , and the houses on either side are so high that the vapours which fill tho place have but little chance of being dispersed by wind . The addition of heat or moisture to the various poisonous bases enclosed within this space would at once convert them into active gaseous poisons . In this locality ten cases of cholera and nearly as many attacks have occurred within the last few days ,

      inquests . London , Saturday . —Before Mr . Baker , at the City of Canton , North-street , Poplar , on the body of Jane Bell , aged 25 . —Mary Hutchinson , Crossstreet , Millwall , said that the deceased was a married woman , and her husband was a carman . She was in good health till Tuesday last , when sho was very sick , and had severe cramps . She was always a sober steady woman , and there was no complaint about the drains . She died on Friday morning . Every attention was paid to her . —Mr . Thomas Gray , surgeon , Poplar ) was called to deceased about nine o ' clock on Thursday evening . She was in bed and nearly in a state of collapse from malignant Asiatic cholera . There is a stable adjoining the house . Witness applied the usual remedies , with calomel every ten minutes . —Verdict , "JJatural death from Asiatic cholera . "

      Another inquest was taken at tho City of Canton , on tho body of Richard Rarratt , nged 35 , shoemaker , —Bartholomew Shoe , Berry-street , Millwall , said that deceased lived in the same house . He was ia good health . He complained of pains in his bowels on Sunday but tookno advice for it . On Wednesday morning lie became worse , and cramps came on , for which ho took some brandy . He was afterwards moved to the Infirmary for Cholera Patients appointed by the guardians . There is a nauseous effluvium from a white-lead factory adjoining . Deceased died on Thursday evening . —Mr . Thomas Gray _ said that he saw deceased oh Wednesday evening at the infirmary in bed . lie was fast sinking from Asiatic cholera . —The Coroner observed that so many e . 1 g 03 Were truly alarming . . He did not know what to suggest , except cleanliness and sobriety .

      lie was happy to say that the Commissioners of Sewers promptly attended to his communication . — Mr . Gray ' observed that tho premonitory svmptoins ought to be promptly attended to . Verdict , " Natural death from Asiatic cholera . " A third inquest was taken at the City of Canton , on the body of William Bless , aged 0 years , who was living with his parents near the Eel I ' ve House , and who died of Asiatic cholera on Friday last , after seventeen hours' illness . There was " a want of drainage in the nei ghbourhood . Two other similar inquests were held : one was on the body of Mr . John Miller , aged 27 , residing in Hunter-street , Iloxton ; and the other was on the body of William Marten , aged 10 years , who resided in East Smithficld . In the last cases the deceased were healthy , and there was no complaint of bad drainage .

      Monday , —Death or a whole Iamily . —Before Mr . Carter , at the India House Tavern , Platform , Rothcrhithc , touching the deaths of Henry Gibson , aged 33 , Maria Gibson , aged 37 , Sarah Gibson , aged 07 , and John Gibson aged CO , who died from Asiatic cholera in Gillham's- ' court , Paradise-street , llothcrhithe . The evidence of one of the relatives proved that tho deceased persons were in good health until Tuesday last , when the son , Henry , was seized with cramp , sickness , and diarrhoea . A surgeon was called , but the deceased gradually sank , and 'died on Wednesday last . The mother was attacked with similar symptoms the same day and died on Thursday morning . The daughter , Maria , was then taken ill on the latter part of the dav , and

      expired on Friday . The father , John Gibson , was also afflicted with the same malady , and died late on Saturday evening last . —Mr . Henry Gardner , the summoning officer , stated that he had examined the house where tho four deceased persons had been living , and it was perfectly clean and well ventilated . The drains vrcve likewise in good order , Another son of the elder deceased man was then in the workhouse labouring under the same disorder , and there were no hopes of saving his life . The deceased persons were chiefly engaged on tho river or the water side . —Mr . Tilley , surgeon , said the four deaths were tho result of Asiatic cholera , notarising from any local cause but from atmospheric influence . —Verdict in each case , " Died from Asiatic cholera . "

      Four Monu Deaths . —St . \ tb oj ? the Sewers in the Blackfjjiaiis Road . —Before Jlr . Carter , at Christ Church workhouse , Biackfriars-road , touching the deaths of Denis Mahouey , aged 42 , liileu Mahoney , aged . fl , Denis Mahoney , aged 3 , and John Taylor , aged 02 , late inmates of the ahove workhouse , who died from Asiatic cholera . In the first case the jury agreed to the subjoined verdict , " That tho deceased died from Asiatic cholera , and that every attention was paid by the authorities , but the jury could not separate without calling the attention of tho commissioners to . the bad state , of the drainage of the district of Christ Church . " In the other tlircc cases it appeared that the deceased had lately arrived from Ireland , and had . taken up their quarters at a low lodg ing-house in lledciosssquare , Southwark . Verdict , " Died from Asiatic cholera . "

      Pawioutii , July 2 . —The ship Havering , Captain Pen wick , which sailed from Dcptford on the 21 st June , with a detachment of the 11 th Foot , under the command of Captain Patison , for Dublin , there to take in convicts for Xcw South Wales , anchored in the extreme part of the outer roads of this port yesterday afternoon , having borne up the previous morning from thirty miles west of Soilly , tlie wind Doing unfair for Dublin , in consequence of the existence of cholera on board . The first fatal case was that of a sailor , on the 20 th , and subsequently five other deaths , including a soldier . When tho ship anchored there were eight cases , six of whom were declared by the medical ' officers on board to be

      convalescent . The six alluded to above are continuing to improve , but the other tivo arc still dangerous . Every possible precaution is adopted on board to check the spread of this malady , :: i !( l the incdipnl officers in charge hope the worst is over . Tho collector of the Customs has forbidden communication with tho ship , except by persons having official business . The town of Falmouth is in a very healthy state . July o . —No new case has cccured since tho ship ' s arrival at this port , nor any death . The six men reported as convalescent still continue to improve . One of the two men who wero attacked severely is much better this morning ; the other man continues in the same state , but . hopes are entertained of his recovery also . .

      Ciiou : rtA is Paws . —In consequence of the continued decrease of this epidemy the Mau ' teur no longer publishes its bulletins so regularly , hut we can state that on the 27 th and 23 th the deaths remain as low as on the two preceding days . The reduction is relatively greater in civil hospitals than in the town . In the course of Wednesday and Thursday the new cases admitted were only 22 , and the deaths 10 , while the number discharged cured was 112 . The hospices in the total of admissions bear but an insignificant proportion . At the Salpetriere tho new cases during the two days were only two , announcing a total extinction of the disease in that establishment . The state of

      the military hospitals is even more favourable . At tho Val-de-Gracc tliere were only nine attacks and four deaths ; at the Roule , three cases and no death at all ; at the Gros Caillou thore was no new case , no death , and eighteen cures .. All those fiicts united lead to a hope , that the tptaldisapperanse of the epidemy is fast approaching . — -Qcdignuni' & Messenger ..
