      AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JFRASTCOISKESE , TISCOUST DE CHATEAUBKIAXD . Vol . II . London : Sirams and APIntyre , Paternoster-row . The close ofihe first volume of these memoirs left the author on Lis exploring expedition through the -wilds of North America . The -volume before us introduces Mm to lis readers in the company of English , Preach , and Dutch settlers . Indians and half-castes , including two

      swarthy goddesses who combined all ihe graces of Spanish , and Indian beauty . The poor travellers head was well nigh turned , whilst in the company of his bewitching companions . Fortunately , lie was philosopher enough to withstand temptation , otherwise his adventures would , in all likelihood , have been cut short by the tomahawk and the scalping-knife . Wc extrac ; our autohiographist ' s account of his visit to

      XIAGARA . I hare seen the cascades of the Alps with their chamois , and those of the Pvrenees with their lizards . I liavc not ascended the ifile high enough to meet with its cataracts which there degenerate into rapids . I speak not of the azure zones of Terni and Tivoli , the elegant drapery of ruins , or the subjects of the poet ' s song—Et pneceps Anio ae Tiburni luCUS . "And thc rapid Anio and the sacred wood of Tibur . " Siagara eclipsed them all . _ horsebridle twined around

      I was holding my ' s mv arm , when a rattle-snake rustled among the brushwood . The terrified animal reared up and recoiled in the direction of the fall . I was unable to disercjaec my arm from the reins , and the horse , Jjecomiifn-everv moment more frightened , dragged me after him . Already his forefeet had left the earth . Leaning over the margin of ihe abyss , he was prevented from falling only by the pressure of the reins . It was all over with me , when the animal astonished himself at his new danger , wheeled round with a pirouette . If I had quitted the world in the midst of Canadian forests , would my soul have carried to the supreme tribunal , the sacrifices , the good works , and the virtues of the father Jogues and I-aUemand , or only vacant days and miserable chimeras ?

      _ _ . . This was not the only danger I encountered at 2 iia ° aia . A ladder of bind-wced served the savages for descending into the lower hasin . It was at that period broken . "Wishing to see the cataract from below , I ventured , notwithstanding the remonstrances of mv guide , upon the side of an almost perpendicular rock . " Notwithstanding the roar of thewater which boiled above me , I retained mv steadiness of head , and reached within forty feet or thehase . Arrived there , the naked and vertical rock no longer offered me any support . I remained suspended by one hand from the last root which 1 met with , feeling my fingers every moment giving wav from the weight of my body There are few men who have spent durinsr their Me two minutes at last

      such as I then reckoned . My weary Hand let go its hold , and Ifell . Byau unexpected stroke of Mod fortune I found myself on the slope ot a rock , on which one would have imagined I must tare been dashed to pieces , and did not feel much Iimired . I was within half afoot of the edge of the abvss . and I had not rolled over ; but when the COld and the damp began to penetrate my clothing , 1 perceived that I had not got off so cheaply . I had my left arm broken above the elbow . My guide . Who was gazing at me from above , and to-whom I made signals of distress , ran to summon the SaVagCS . Thev hoisted me np with halters by a path which had " been made by the otters , and transported me to their village . I had only a simple fracture . Two splints , a bandage , and a sling sufficed for my

      recovery ; At the farm-house of an American , ChalEAUBKDOfD obtained sight of an English Dewspap ' er , in which he read the account of the attempted escape of Louis XVI ., and his arrest at Varenhes . This news decided him to interrupt histetxels and return forthwith to Europe . He did so , " and had a narrow escape of shipwreck on tiie shores of Brittany . Shortl y after his return to France he married , or rather was married , for he appears to have l > eea the most passive of mortals that ever hecamea party tflthe tying of the indissolnhle knot of matrimony . His account of the aflair though not intended to excite laug hter , is provolringly ludicrous .

      Within a few months of his marriage , CflAiEAiuiBiASD quitted Madame , and along with his brother joined the loyalist emigrants in Germany . His descriptions of his comrades , show the contemptible character of the orfraud aristocrats . He appears to have had butmdinerent health , with which to meet the toils and dangers of ths life of ajsoldier in active service . After taking part in a little

Almost destitute , and with a journey of two hundred leagues before him , he found himself attacked by smallpox , and suffered terriblemiseries . Ultimately reaching Ostend , he embarked for Jersey , hut was put ashore at Guernsey , apparentl y dyino- , I was apparently fated to excite compassion . The wife of an English pilot happened to pass ; she was touched on seeing me , and called her husbandwho Ifiorl ^™ T- liirt 11 ll Pllllllllii in uhiLhiiil TOmW ^ 4- ° + i . _ , v : _ - - _^ £ J - P" "„ tv' - . v n onl y

      , assisted by two or three sailors , carried me into the house ofafislierraan-mc , the friend of the waves . They hud me on a comfortable bed , in snow-white sheets . The young seaman ' s wife took all possible care of the foreigner ; X owe my life to her . The following morning 1 again embarked . My hostess almost wept when parting from her patient ;• women nave a heavenly and instinctive compassion for misfortune . My fair and lovely guardian , who resembled a fi gure taken from the old English engrav in » pressed my swollen and braning hands iu her fresh and lovely fingers ; I was ashamed that so much vileuess and misery should come in contact with so many charms .

      He reached Jersey , and subsequently London instead of Brittany . New horrors met him , and more than once he was in danger of perishing of hunger . A countryman and companion in misfortune , named Hingaxt , lodged with Chateaitjbl-SD .

      SUFFERINGS OF THE EXILES . "When we reached our last shilling , I agreed with my friend to keep it in order to preserve a semblance of breakfasting . We arranged that we should purchase a loaf at two sous ; that we should allow them to bring up warm water and the teapot as usual ; that we should not put any tea in it ; that we should not eat the bread , but drink a little warm water with a morsel of sugar which remained in the bottom of the sugar basin . Five days glided oh in this manner . I was devoured with hunger ; I was burning hot ; sleep had wholly deserted me . I sucked some fragments of linen which I had dipped in water ; I chewed grass

      and paper . When I passed before the bakers shops , my torments were dreadful . One severe evening in winter , I stood for two hours riveted before a shop where dried fruits aud smoked viands were sold , drinking in with my eyes all that I beheld . 1 could have eaten , not only the edibles , but the boxes , the baskets , and the panniers which contained them . On the morning of the fifth day , almost expiring from inanition , I drag myself to flingant's house ; I knock at the door , it was locked ; I call Hingant , who is some time without giving any reply ; at last he rises and opens it . He was laughing in a wild and unnatural manner ; his riding-coat was buttoned . He seats himself before the table on which the tea-things were placed .

      "Our breakfast is just coming up , " said he , in an extraordinary tone of voice . I fancied I saw some drops of blood on his chemise ; I hastily unbuttoned his riding-coat ; he had given himself a stab with his pen-knife , about two inches deep , in his left side . I called out for help . The servant hurried out to procure a surgeon . The wound was dangerous . This new misfortune obliged me to come to some determination . Hingant had been a counsellor in the Parliament of Brittany , and he had refused to accent the stipend which the English government

      granted to French magistrates , just as I had refused the shilling a-day given as alms to the emigrants . I wrote to M . de Barentin , and disclosed to him the situation of my friend . Hingant ' s parents hastened to his side , and brought him with them to the country . At the same moment my uncle , De Bedee , sent me forty crowns—the teaching oblation of my persecuted family . I thoug ht all the gold of Peru was before me ; the pence of the prisoners of France served to support the French exile . "We must leave untouched the episode of " Charlotte , " who first excited love in the frozen breast of our autobiographist .

      After an exile of eight years in England , he returned to France under a Swiss name , there to prosecute his career as an author . The account of his impressions of Paris in the year 1800 , when France was yet nominally a Republic , although Buoxapakte was then preparing to assume the purple , concludes this volume . The Autobiograph y of Chateaubriand is a work which no reader should be ignorant of . Although not free from defects , it is , on the whole , exceedingly interesting , and abounds in passages of beauty , the equal of which can be but rarely met with .

      Chartist Tracts for the Times . No . VII . Chartism , and the Charter Defended . By the KiniiDALE CnAHTIST PrisoisTsks . London : Watson . This tract is devoted to an able and impartial sketch of the rise and progress of Chartist principles , from the time of the Reform Bill agitation to the "Whi g persecution of the Chartists hi 1839 . The subject will be continued in number eight . In placing the Chartists , and their principles , in their true colours , before the public , our friends are doing good service to the good cause—service which cannot he too highly appreciated by their brother democrats . We select a few extracts : —

      MB WHIGS . The doings of the Whip during the agitation are fresh in our memory . The burnings at . Bristol and Nottingham . Processions , in one of which an executioner was paraded , carrying a bloody axe . Attwood ' s threat to march one hundred thousand men on London , and at the same time holding a correspondence with the Whig ministry . All this , and infinitely more , was openly tolerated and encouraged , without a single individual being arrested . How strangely this contrasts with the treatment to which the Chartists have been subjecicd by these brawlers , and incendiaries of 1830 . But there was good cause for this . The Seditionists of that day were rich men stru _ < rlui £ for the supremacy of an aristocratic faction ^ whilst the persecuted and imprisoned victims of the Whig and Tory factions are friends of justice , and committed the heavy crime of opposing the usurpation of the titled and the wealthy . EFFECTS OF THE PROMULGATION OF TIIE CIIARTEU .

      The definite and unmistakeable shape in which this document placed the true principles of representation , alarmed the Whigs and doubtful Radicals , therefore , to create a distinction , and shelter themselves from the obloquy of openly deserting their previous principles , all who had adopted the London document , as their political creed , were styled " Chartists , " and thus a distinct line was drawn between the real friends of political and social progress , and the mere pretenders . The Working Men ' s Associations throughout the country , quietly adopted the title which malignity had thrust upon them , feeling it necessary to distinguish themselves from their previous doubtful and insincere associates . This was the orig in of the term Chartist , and the democratic doctrines , promulgated by that body , have been called " Chartism . " We feel that thenrecedinirfactsarea full justification of the

      part taken by the working classes and their friends . Thev plainly saw that , during the lteform Bill mania , they were made the mere tools of a worthless faction , whose every pledge to the people had been shamefully violated , and who used their newly acquired power to crush still lower the class who had exalted them to place and distinction , and they accordingly resolved to act for themselves for the future . Many well disposed men still feel a hankorin <* desire to link themselves once more with the middle class ; but as for us , we are firmly resolved that the game of 1 S 30 shall not again be played , and that if there is to be a union of action at any future period , the just rights of the people must he first established , " if they are willins to add their influence to the movement m favour of the Peoples Charter , then they will have redeemed then- former pledge ; if not , they are unworthy of

      notice . "'" - „ - THE " PHYSICAL FORCE CHARTISTS . Even to this day , the most humane , intelli g ent , and honest portion of the advocates of the Rights Of Man . are designated "physical , force men , levellers , < fec ., by the corrupt press of the ruling factions , - and their abettors . If physical Torce Chartism means a comprehensive and entire change in those institutione which tend to enrich the idle and send the grey hairs of industry with sorrow to the grave —if physical force Chartism means drying the tears of the widow and fatherless , and g iving to industry its lawful due , and releasing mankind from the trmsn nf trreedv tyrants . —if it means the full

      and complete emancipation of the people , from . the worse than Egpjtian bondage which they now endure—then are we p hysical force Chartists heart and soul , and should g lory in the appellation . The friends of liberty in an countries have been singled out from the shuffling pretenders by some degrading epithet . Why not we f Kejoice then > you reviled physical force men I You are thought worthy of the hatred of the enemies of English liberty and wear a distinctive badge which has been thrust tiponyou .-The friends of political and social progression in France are likewise stigmatised as Red Republicans and Socialists . 'Honour to them ! May we all succeed in the establishment of our dearest hopes , maa ' s happiness ' ,

      The Uxbridge Spirit of Freedom , Conducted by Working Me * . No . III . Jane . London : Watson , Queen ' s Head Passage , Paternoster-row . This admirable publication continues its bold , unflinching course , neither turning to the right hand nor the left , hut keeping the straightforward path of honesty . Its writers speak out manfully ; witness the following from an article entitled

      IT MOVES FOR ALL THAT . _ "It moves for all that , " said Galileo . Said not Galileo right , brothers ? Ay , it moves for all that ! the patriots and friends of humanit y have risen bearded their tyrants , and fallen in their own bloodl God's nobles , the high-natured sons of Genius ' have let out their lives and shut up the wealth of their burning souls on the scaffold and in the dungeon , the prophets have suffered the bloodiest tortures that persecution could invent , and the world's redeemers have been crucified and slain at cross and stake , oppression triumphed and liberty seemed dead—but , it moved for all that / The poor are crushed , the tyrants link their chain , the poet sings through narrow dungeon grates , man ' s hopes lie quenched , —but , lo ! with

      steadfast gain , Freedom doth forge her mail of adverse fates . Ferdinand of Naples , that regal dabbler in human gore , may plunder , violate , massacre , burn , and make a hell in that heaven upon earth , Italy -, but he cannot kill liberty—she lives for ever in the hearts of men , and clingeth fast to the footstool of God . Blum , Messenhauser , and Becher , our own countryman , have gone down to the martyr ' s "rave in the first blush of the glorious dawn which is bursting on the world ; Albert , Raspail , Barbes , and ^ Ernest Jones , are in the hands of gaolers ; Louis Blanc , Caussidiere , Proudhon , and John Mitchel , are in exile from the motherland they leved so well ; England groans with three million paupers : Poland lies bleeding at every pore , beneath the iron heel of the Northern Autocrat ; but , ft moves still !

      Articles conceived in the same spirit , on " Kingsand Kingcraft , " " The Monopoly of the Soil , " the juggle of " Content , " and " Coming Events ; " together with Poetry to match make up a pennyworth of truth which Statesmen would do well to digest , and which all true democrats will do well to circulate to the utmost of then * power .

      SUNSHINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . BV THOMAS MARTIN WHEELER , ate Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company . Chatter X . What if they failed ? ' Twere glory e ' en to dare The proud achievement . Tens of millions brood _ O'dr human life iu one venurious mood Of paltry thought , and miserable care ; Then shall not these the palm of triumph wear , A guiltless wreath by slaughter unimbrued ; For not by their own minds were they subdued , But by the banded powers of . * . * ... This was a fresh era in the life of Arthur Morton , one of those cycles of events on which the whole web of after-life seems to hang ; the mute lyre of his soul had been touched by the finger of popular

      emotion , and gave forth sweet and sonorous music , of the possession of which it had hitherto been unconscious ; but the lyre once touched , its vibrations ceased notuntilthe fragile instrument was destroyed . In the exciting scenes that took place during the few days of the Convention ' s sitting in Birmingham , Arthur was a prominent actor ; the irritating interference of a body of police , sent from London to preserve the peace , was the immediate cause of its being broken , and in the riots that ensued they would have speedily met their fate , had they not been sheltered by the military . Arthur deeply regretted these transactions : enthusiast as he was , he would have shed his blood cheerfully in any struggle , however hopeless , which might possibly result in achieving the emancipation of the masses ; but he was aware that mere sectional riotinsr would

      tend only to dispirit the friends , and exasperate the enemies of the movement ; it was , therefore , with fellings of pain that he gazed oh that grand and exciting spectacle in the Bull-ring , when the pent-up passions of the mass burst forth like a volcano ' s lava , scattering flames and destruction around . The leaders of the Democratic movement are decried by their opponents as destructives , and incendiariesmen delighting in annrcby and confusion . Despicable falsehood ! were it so , courage and opportunities have not been wanting , and England's mammoth cities might have been the funeral pyres of their oppressors , and blazing beacons of a world ' s warning against man ' s injustice to his brother man . Had the leaders of the people that night been the

      firebrands they are denominated , a new Birmingham must , Phoenix-like , have arisen from the ashes of the present one ; but they , in common with the generality of Britons , have a respect for property , and a love of order , carried even to the extreme . Little , however , does this avail them ; their motives must be impugned , and their characters maligned , in order that the thoughtless and the inert—the mass of the people—may be deluded and imposed upon , under the specious plea of the rights of private property , and the reign of public order . The events that followed are matters of history , hut of history that has to he re-written , to clear it of prejudice and calumny . Time , the great arbiter , will do all parties justice—more is needed not . The

      Convention , ushered into existence amid the sunshine of unity and hope , dissolved away amid shadow and gloom ; many of its members were arrested , and the remainder , with few exceptions , dispersed or in exile ; nor were the men of Birmingham suffered to go scathlcss—imprisonment and transportation was the lot of too many of her sons . Honest and truehearted , they fell victims to the misguided enthusiasm of the moment . A tear to their woes , and a speedy termination to their exile ! Had theirs been an impartial jury of their peers , they would have returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity , brought on by excess of zeal in a good cause . " Arthur Morton , deprecating this rioting , and taking no t > art in the firms of the houses in the Bull-Rinir ,

      had nevertheless become a marked man ; he had displayed abilities too great to be suffered to go at large , whilst any plausible pretext could be found for ridding the country of him ; he was , accordingly , one evening shortly after these events , arrested by Catchem and Holdem , two of the London police , and on inquiring the charge , was informed— " Arson . " Arthur had seen enough of life to know that innocence was no protection in a court of justice when the political prejudices of a jury were appealed to , his resolution was therefore taken and acted upon at once . While the policemen were searching his papers and effects , he was descending the stairs to the street , with one of his captors in

      front and the other behind ; he stooped suddenly down , seized the foremost by the legs , threw him headlong , jumped over his prostrate body , and succeeded m gaining the street before the hindmost officer could disengage himself from his companion , who , partially stunned by his fall , but having a dim consciousness of his duty , seized him by mistake for our hero : In vain did Catchem endeavour to convince Holdem that he had got the wrong man by the gripe ; Holdem held convulsively to his leg , and it was only by a violent effort that Catchem tore himself from his grasp . Swiftly sped Arthur along the dark and narrow street , he has turned the corner , and no sound of pursuit falls on his car ; he slackens his pace to collect his scattered thoughts .

      but before he can arrange any plan of escape the shouts of his pursuers burst on his eardarkness favours him , they sec him not , but have traced him by the sound of his footsteps . Onward he flies , —now he emerges from tie quiet streets , adjacent to his- home , into New-street , and , walking quietly along , is lost to his pursuers amid the passengers that throng the street . In " sooth to say , Catehenyin : doubt as to the . 8 tate . of his brother officer , did not make any strenuous effort to continue the pursuit ; feeling confident of a reward being offered , he rejoined his comrade , whom he found recovered from his insensibility , lloldeuv , whilst venting- imprecations upon tho prisoner ' s escape , laughed heartily at his own erroneous seizure : they then ascertained the route taken by Arthur , and suspended further active operations until a reward should enhance the value of their

      prey Meanwhile Arthur , finding himself safe , hastened to the suburbs , and succeeded in reaching i Wolverhampton in safety ; he paused at tho entrance of the town , thinking the lateness of the hour mi « ht cause suspicion , but anxiety to place the greatest possible distance between himselt and his pursuers hurried him on , and during the whole n > ht ho tarried not , but pursued the northern road until he reached Stafford ; here , pleading illness , he encased a bed at a small public-house , and after partaking of tea , retired to the sleeping apartment and soon sunk into slumber ; but sleep did not long exert its influence over him ; the mind , perplexed and wearied , would not allow the body to repose ; his was indeed a dangerous position—with but a few shillin < ts in his pocket—without change of rai ment—destitute of even political friends , save . those inBirm ' m"ham , with whom it wii % now dangerous to

      correspond , he knpw « not ^ what course to take or where to proceed ; with the natural instinct of courage he meditated upon returning to Birmingham , A ^ ^ A * ™^ accusation , but reflection told hun that i 6 would be useless so to sacrifice himself , and that his flight would be looked upon as a 8 trong connrmation of his guilt . After revolving over various plans he at length decided upon travelling to Liverpool , and from thence writing to an acquaintance m Birmingham to turn the fewthings his savings had allowed him to purchase into money , trusting with the proceeds to reachAmericathat mm .

Yet by virtue of thy Republican institutions purifying and refining these discordant elements , uniting all in the bonds of citizenship , and setting an example of order , economy , and prosperity to the nations of the Old World , an example which , sooner or later , they will be compelled to follow . "

      In safety did Arthur reach Liverpool , and from thence communicated with his friend at Birmingham ' . Day after day passed in suspense , during which time Arthur kept himself almost a prisoner in his room . One evening he ventured as far as the residence ot Walter North , which he had ascertained from his landlad y half tempted was he to knock and see what reception he should meet from his old schoolfellow , but prudence bade him desist . He was a fugitive flying from the terrors of the law—his quondam friend was rich and prosperous , and seldom do fortune ' s favourites protect the felon or the outcast , so he sought again his quiet lodging , though he gazed long and wistfully at the splendid mansion he had leftand well was it for Arthur that

      , he entered not that mansion . Walter North , a Whig economist in politics , and a bitter reviler of the vulgar Chartists , would have thought it his duty—that excuse for every mean and vile act-Walter would have thought it his duty to his country to sacrifice private friendship on the altar of public good , and would have gained golden opinions with his party for the supposed violation done to his feelings , and Arthur would have been consigned to the grasp of the law . Our hero was beginning to despair of an answer from Birmingham , when happily it arrived , containing a £ 10 note , partly the

      result of the sale of his watch and few clothes , and partly a subscription fr » ni the fen- who were trusted with the circumstances . Arthur deeply appreciated the kindness of his friend ; it would enable him to procure a few necessaries for the voyage in addition to the payment of his passage , and a few days saw him safe on board the . Camden , a fine American ship , sailing away from the land of his birth , the land that he would have died to benefit , but which met his" devotion with persecution , and would have sentenced him to a felon ' s fate in her Australian world , had he not prevented it by self-exile . Such is the world and the world ' s justice ' . { To be continued . )

      faith that truth and justice alone are immortal , that injustice is unstable , that ignorance and falsehood may be dethroned , misery destroyed , and evil overcome ; because , 'for the sakv of the people whom you love , and for whom you demand the right of happiness , as well as to the Sun's ¦ light , you have offered up a sacrifice / your youth , your fortune ; your liberty , and your life ; and , Christian amidst a heathen society , have shown yourself a true disciple of Jesus our Master—therefore have they cursed you , therefore are vou condemned .

      " But . Heaven he thanked , men destined to a great mission are created with the qualities necessary for its fulfilment . God in assigning to you the sacred role of devotedness , has given you constancy , serenity , and strength . He has placed -within you a principle of enthusiasm too exalted to bo chilled by our enemies . To shak * you by calumny—to humiliate you by inflicting upon you the penalty of thieves and assassins—to irritate or even to distress you bythreats of the galleys and the executioner—this has bern beyond their power . How superior are you to those who oppress you—you , whom they can kill , but can never dismay !

      " When dragged before the tribunal of Paris , in June , 1839 , your attitude was the same that it has been before this court ; your answer to your interrogators was this : —V When the Indian is conquered and the chances of war have thrown him into the hands of his enemy ; he seeks not to defend himself , he utters no useless words , ho submits , ar > d offers his head to the scalping-knife . ' And when , the next day , Mon-icur Pasquier did not blush to say that you wore right in comparing yourself to a favaffe , you answered him— ' The worst savage is not he who offers his head to thekni . ' e , but he who uses it . '

      " At mid-day , on the loth of June , 3 , 000 Students assembled on the Place Vendome , and took the way to the Chancellciie . They proceeded gravely , bareheaded , and in silence , with the manner and bearing of a solemn funeral . It was for y « u , my dear Barbes , that they came—fiT you had been condemned to death . Never had Paris presented such a spectacle of consternation . The workshops were abandoned , the suburbs deserted , the public squares and streets were silent—the people were sunk in the deepest grief . " You , meanwhile , on the eve of ascending Ihe scaffold , were in thought only with your friends , with your party , with France !

      " But as noble examples were still needed , as the people had hot yet been sufficiently benefitted by your sufferings , —death was not for you—a commutation of your sentence was granted to mourning Paris ; the Monarchial dungeons still enclosed you ; and afterwards , in the very palace of the Luxembourg , wherein you were condemned , and from which your judges had since been driven by an avenging Providence , it was granted to Albert and me to receive yon ; your countenance changed by ten years of suffering , but the lustre sti 1 « n your forehead and your eye still full of fire amid the acclamations of tho triumphant people .

      ' * Ihe sun of those great days will shmeasaiu . Ay , let our enemies give the name of madness to your enlightened magnanimity ; injustice , oppression , falsehood , and evil—these are the true madness . And they would have already discovered'this , we ' re it possible for madness to recognize itself ; for what wretchedness can compare to their * , who have with them but the army * arid against them their conscience . Are they not in continual dread of the possible outbreaks of poverty ? And amid the phantoms evoked by their terror , is there not ' one that for ever and ever appears before them , which seeks forbread , and finds but a musket- Is not to-mobhotv the word of

      our hope , the word of their fear ? " That which distinguishes our age from those which have preceded it , and gives it its historical originality , - is the character of strength and universality which now marks doctrinea that were formerly only held bya few thinkers , melancholy philosophers , unrecognised tribunes , or sects rapidly stifled , like the first Christians—the only true Christians ! , The thinker , the philosopherj the . tribune , who , iu the present day , represents the imperishable tradition of fraternal equality ,- is named , in France—the People ! To contain it , prisons are new too narrow . Our triumph is certain .

      " Oh , my dear . Barbes ! did you but know how doubly sweet and precious this conviction is rendered bythe affection I feel 'for you ! I know that your Faith ,-professed In yoiir sublime speech before the tribunal at Bourges , is to you a source of ineffable consolation ; that it is that winch raises you so far above the mass of mankind ; that it is that Faith which renders yon invincible in suffering ; for God has fashioned you of the nature of heroes , of the nature of martyrs , and I know your heart ' .

      Monday . —Sacrilege at East . Ham Church . — Barnard Cook was charged with having broken open the parish church of East Ham , Essex , and stealing therefrom sundry articles . It appeared , from the evidence , that about seven o ' clock , on Thursday evening last , the prisoner was seen loitering about East Ham Church ^' and in the course of an hour afterwards , as Mr . Martin , a tradesman residing in the parish , was walking near the edifice , the . prisoner suddenly jumped from one . of the church windows , with a bundle in his arms . The p risoner made off as fast as . he . was able , but was followed by Mr . Martin , who pursued him for a considerable distance / -At length a Mr , Matthews ^ joined in the chase , and followed the prisoner

      lor nearly an hour over ditches and hedges . After travelling several miles , the prisoner gave sighs of exhaustion , and plunged into a water-course : he swam across , and was in the act of stepping upon dry ground when Mr . Matthew . captured him . The chase had extended over a distance of nearly ten miles . The prisoner was handed over to the police and handcufted . On their way to Ilford gaol , the prisoner succeeded in slipping his handcuffs , and he immediately darted off . Two farmers , who happened to be riding on horseback , and witnessed the occurrence ,..-. went in pursuit of the prisoner , and with the assistance of a mounted policeman whoafterwards came up , he was conveyed safely : to Ilford Gaol . On examining the church , Sergeant Collier discovered the carpet of the

      vestryroom rolled up , ready to be carried off ; and a quantity of the church books , and other property , were packed up , in order to be removed . . Several books and important documents relating to the church were found to be missing . —Mr , Anderson , the governor of Ilford Gaol , stated that on searching the prisoners , two duplicates were found upon him , one of which related to a watch which had been stolen from the house of a lady named . Battle , at Barking , and pledged in Whitechapol . Two men stand remanded for having burglariously entered the house of Miss Battle , and stealing the watch . —The prisoner made no defence , and Mr . Cotton committed him for trial for robbing the church , but remanded him upon suspicion of being concerned in the alleged burglary .

      Hosiery And Lace Trades.—The Strike Of T...

      Hosiery and Lace Trades . —The strike of the wrought cotton hose hands still continues ; all parties seem as determined as ever . Tho harvest , however , is at hand , the state of Ireland will prevent the usual number of harvest men coming , and if . the hosiers drive the contest a few weeks longer their cause will be hopeless . After some Jong and heavy skirmishes the drawer , pantaloon , shirt , and piece hands have got a cessation , to most of their disputes . Many of the Nottingham emigrant stockingcrs are returning ; more than twenty arrived by one train from Liverpool a few days since . The bohbin net trade has not further receded this week ; the manufacture of silk is rapidly increasing . „ . Tho Ecole du Tissus , of Lyons , has given a great impetus to the silk bobbin net trade , but the French

      machines work up a very superior quality of silk , the lace being equally as strong , but very little more than half the weight ; tho silk is specially thrown for tho manufacture of bobbin-net . We have seen several lace hands who have been recently in Lyons , but they seem to have no notion of obtaining foreign methods of making lace or hosiery . The exportation of machinery to France has again commenced , principally for Paris : several attempts have ' been made to establish the bobbin-net trade in that city , but they have hitherto failed . The warp lace trade is yet nnich depressed , but there is a shade of improvement , and some activity in making window curtains , and lace to serve as frieze . Many excellent articles arc made from the warp frame , especially for gloves , the plated warp fabrics are deficient

A fortunate Purchask . —Some time since a brig , at present called the Carlcton , was put up for public sale at the London Dock , and was purchased by Mr . Scott , a chain lighterman , residing at Trapping , for the sum of ¦ £ 750 . ¦ After undergoing considerable repairs at the New Crane "Wharf , Wapping , tho vessel put to sea under Captain Bacon , who had become part owner . After leaving port it was found necessary to put iu at Hartlepool , where , whilst the vessel was undergoing some

      repairs at the interior part of the bulkhead , 10 , 000 Spanish dollars were found secreted in a place purposely hollowed out for the reception of the precious deposit . The dollars , as our reporter . was informed , arc of an old mintage , and very pure silver . When or by whom the treasure was deposited , it is impossible to guess ; but , at all events , Captain Bacon has reason to congratulate himself on the successful result of Iris first short voyage in the Carlcton . The vessel , it is said , was originally engaged in the slave trade oft the coast of Guinea , and the treasure so curiously discovered was probably the ill-gotten gains of some of tho heartless wretches engaged in that abominable traffic . How the "Working Classes Lodge . —A curious fact , and one worthy the attention of tho sanitory reformer , came out before the borough ma gistrates

      on Thursday week during the examination of llolloway on the charge of killing his child . The house in which the man lodged , contains six rooms , which are occupied by no less than five families , and there is a small cottage in the yard occupied by another family . One ot the witnesses , in answer to tne mayor , named the weekly sums paid by each of the lodgers for rent , from which it appeared that the landlord realised about £ 2 G per year from thus letting out his rooms , besides living himself rent free . The house is rated at about £ 9 . and the houses in the same street ( which however , generally contain one or two rooms less ) average £ 10 per year for rent . In answer to a question by the mayor , Mr . Dusautoy said that , in the course of his professional duties , ho found many such cases of a family allotted to each room in a house . —I / ants Independent .

"We merely append the following as a fair specimen of the whole : " With heaving sigh , And moistening eye , Upon that void 1 sadly gazed ; With burning words , The sky towards , My aching head I fiercely raised ;
