      TO THE MARTYRS OF FREEDOM . BT ELIZA LEE FOLLKH . Still trust , oil ye who are oppressed ! Though hops no raj of light may shed , Garlands of sacrifice will real On dying Yirtuo ' e martyr bead : Though Glory ' s tinsel crown may bo Awhile the lucky villain ' s prize Yet , springing from your graves , wa eeB Tho amaranth virtath that never dies . Yo who in evil times were born ! Ye who have da red to strive with power Ye shall be htralde of the dawn , But ye must know tho darkest hour , Ye who your lives have nobly open ' , From ain and weoy « ur raco to save , The Ruin you could not prevent Shall shed o glory round your grave ,

      Then do we feel Fate's iron might , Whev the blasphemous plot succeeds ; ¦ When on pure honour , SBfcple right , The brood of human vipers feeds : 0 , still serenely trust—e ' en then , Though reptiles hiss , foul vapours rise , The light that rises from the f < n Deceitful shines , and quickly dies . In the cloud-tent of distant sides , Truth calmly Traits , with balance true , Casts off traditionary lies , And gives to Justice homage due . Reason proclaims eternal laws ; Mad mobs and tyrants , in their hour-May , for whole ares , hurt her cause , But ntvircan destroy her power . When for the rights of manycu fight , And ell seems lost and friends have fUd , R . member , in misfortune ' s night ,

      New glorica rost on Virtue ' s heed ; Duty remains , though joy ia gona ; On final good then fix thino eyes ; Disdain all fear , and though alono , Stand ready for the sacrifice . Though every terk of promise sink , And Hope ' s last broken fragments fall , And you that mystic cup muni drink , Which cures all pain , which cornea to all ; Tet Justice , banished , hated , sluin , la with you In tho holy Btrift—Sajs to your soul , ' Wo meet again , ' And promises etern . il life . Freed from its dust , from that great hour Your spirit on tho nnblo band , Acts with a new , immortal power ,

      Inspire * , each heart , and nerves each hand , For Time ami Truth , then calmly wait , Ye who for human lights contend J Oppression has a trsneu-nt date . E : err . al Justice baa no end .

      The Constitution Of Society As De Signed...

      THE CONSTITUTION OF SOCIETY AS DE SIGNED BY GOD . By Daniel Bishop London : A . Hall and Company , 2 o , Pater noeter-row . ( Second Notice . ) We shall now extract some of Mr Bishop ' s obser Vfttions and quotations on the subject of OOVEBNHENT—HEEEDITABS SOLE AND HEBlDITAaT

      LEGISLATION . The rights of every man that comes into tho world , thin , are—1 . The inviolable liberty of his owa person . 2 . A property in the land equally with all hia fellow members if the society or nation to which he belongs . 3 . An equal sbara with all these in the political right . ' An inquiry , ' says Paine , ' into the origin of rights will demonstrate to us that rights are not gifts from one man to another , nor from one class of men to another . For who ia he who could be tho firat giver ? Or bj what iriaciplo , er on "hat auihority , could he possess the ri ^ 'ht of giving ? Rights appertain to man in right of his existence only , and must therefore be equal to every man , By what principles are we to find out the point to et ' p at , that shall discriminate between men of the same country , part of whom shall bo free , and the rest not ?'

      ' Those who oppose an equality of rights , never mean the exclusion shall take place on themselves . The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected . To take away this riifht , is to reduce a man to a state of slavery . It is possible to exclude men from voting ; but it is Impossible t » exclude thom from the right of rebelling against that exclusion . ' * As to usurpation , no man , " siys Paine , ' will be so hardy as to defend it ; and that William the Conqueror was a usurper , is a fact not to be contradicted . A French bastard , lauding with an armed banditti , and establishing himself king of England against the consent of the natives , is in plain terms a very paltry , rascally , original .

      Tne great landed estates now held in descent , were plundered from the qu ' . et inhabitants at the conquest . When they [ the Conqueror and his followers ! had com . niitted the robbery , they endeavoured to lose the dis . gruce of it by sinking their real names under fictitious ones , wbloh they called titles . As property honestly obtained is beat secured by an equality of lights , so Illgotten property depends for protection on a monopoly of rights : when ihe robber becomes the legislator be believes himself secure . That part of the government of England that is called the House of Lords , was originally composed of persons who had committed the robberies ot which I have been speaking . It was an association for the proteciion of the property they had stolen . '

      The existence of an oioiuslve military class ia un . questionable evidtnco of a governmint which exists only to oppress ; and of a people who are fit only to be slaves , H w highly a standing force is estimated by oppressors , appears from tho numerical amount of tho different armies of Europe . It is not conceivable , but for the general poverty , that mt-n would enlist themselves to tho trade of murder for a shilling per day . * In case of war , ' said a French weaver , ' all our youth would te disposed to tak » up arms , and leave a tradejihe silk ] which gives tli < m no hopes . ' Tbus , whilst an army is the great in . sirument of the oppressor , oppression ( one of the principal causes of poverty ) fills its ranks .

      • The right , ' sajs Paine , ' to set np and establish here , fiitory government never did , and never can exist in any generation , at any time whatever ... It is of the nature of treason ; because it is an attempt to take away tho rights of ail the living at that time , and of all succeeding generations . The equal rights of generations is a right fixed In the nature of things . It belongs to the son when of age , as it did te the father before him . ' —{ Letter to Washington , 1797 . ) 4 Thtre ia not , ' sajs Pake , ' o problem In Euclid more mathematically true , than that hereditary government bus net a right to exist . 'When , therefore , we take from any man the exercise of hereditary power , wo take away that which he never had the right to possess ; and which no law or custom could or ever can give him a

      title to . To be satisfied of a right of a thing to exist , we must be satisfied that it had . a right to begin . If it had not a right to begin , It has not a right to continue . B y what rig ht , then , did the hereditary system btgin L ' . any man but ask himself this question , and he will find that he cannot satisfy himself with an answer . The generation which first selects a parson , and puts him at che hei . d of its government , either with tho title of king or any other nominal distinction , acts its own choice , as b free Bgent for itself , bo that choice wise or foolish . The person so set up is not hereditary , but selected and appointed ; and the generation which sets him up does not live under an hereditary government , but under a government of its own choice . As , therefore , hereditary succession is out of the question with re & pect to the first generation , we have next to consider the character In which that generation acts towards the commencing g Deration , end to oil succeeding onie . It assumes a character to wkich it has neither tight nor title , for It

      changes itself from a legislator to a testator , and affecte to make a will and testament which ia to have operation after the demise of the makers , to bequeath the government ; and it not only attempts to bequeath , but to osta . bli » h on the mcceeding generation a new and different form of government under which itself lived . In [ the ] ever runnlog flood of generations there is no part eupc . rior in authority to another . Could we conceive an Idea of superiority in any , at what point of time , or In what century of tho world , are we to fix It ! To what cause are we to ascribe it ? B y what evidence are we to prove it ? B y what criterion are we to know it ! A tingle re . flection will teach us , that our ancestors , like ourselves " were bat tenants for life in the great freehold of rights ' The fee absolute was not in tbem . It ia not In us . It be onus to the whole family of man throughout all egeP . E o ry age and generation is and must be , as a matter of right , as free to act for itself in all cases , as tho age ard generation that ptotoded U . '—fPrtticij ) . of Gov )

      T' e prcun * state of noddy , nriung in ti f : r < -at div ; r . frOi . 'J tho lend Icing ti' ^ . -osecd , is a full , tv perf . vt , therefore nn unanswerable argument against it . Wa may , then , again fearlessly challenge the whole world to produce a single sentence that can successfully bo urged In Its defence , —or against the doctrine of the property in the land belonging to society at large , or to all tho people of every country , in every age ! Emperor comes from the Latin imperator , in its primary signification , commander of an army . Duke is also a general or leader in the primitive sense . Among the Romans , dukes weresuch as led their armies , and they were appointed governors of provinces . Marquis , Introduced in Inter times , signifies a governor of the marches or frontier provinces . Earl , —Those who bore tho title of earls , were anciently attendants of their sovereigns in their councils and martial expeditions . They governed shins .

      Viscount , from rtcecomes , or earl ' s deputy , was anciently the name of him who held the chief office under an earl . The earl being oftentimes at court , the viscount was deputed to look after the affairs of the county . Baron . —Tide word , Mtsogo derives as a term of military dignity . King , ia a contraction of the Teutonic coning or cyning , In the primitive tongue it signifies stout or valiant ; kings having been anciently chosen by their subjocts on account of tbelr valour and str . ngth .

      As to tho nobility of Europe , ' What , ' says Mirabeau . ' were they in their origin ? Tho chiufs of ferocious warriors , w > io united barbarity of conquest with barbarity of manners ; whose first rights were those of usurpation and plunder , and who founded their pre-eminence merely on tiiecommand which they exircisod in war . Thus was the field of battle the nursery of this nobility . They laid tho foundation of that barbarous feudal system , which converted whole nations into herds of slaves , and a f > w Individuals into broods of tyrants . '—( C < msiJera ( ioii 5 on the Order of Ciimnnatus . )

      Titles of honour , or rather dishonour , — -orders of knighthood , —armorial bearings , —and every thing of a similar kind , are but contrivances for assisting to support tho sacrificing sjstem . They are disgraceful alike to the few who adopt them , and to the many that tolerate them . Hoivevcr highly they may bo esteemed by the form , r . —in the sight of Heaven they are but aborni nationo!— 'There is not , ' says Paine , ' any description cf men that despise monarchy so much as courtiers . They are in the condition of men who get their living by a eho * ond to whom the folly of that oho . vis so faml . liar , that they ridicule it . But were the audience to be made as wise in this respect as themselves , there would be an end to the show and the profits . ' — { Rights of Man . ) Lotus assume , that tho British hereditary legislative

      and the heirs of the members were all assembled together , and that an earthquake were to swallow np the whole aggregate , It can scaicely bo imagined this country would bo bo miserably infatuated as to desire to seu established a second time , the most anomalous body the whole annals of legislation contain ! But supposing this country would have another hereditary legislative . Nothing could be more easy than to collect a number of laiv-mukers , equal to that of which tho House of Lords is composed , for example 500 . With a very little training , 500 of those shopkeepers that live tho nearest to the houses of parliament , would assuredly bo competent to petf rm tho vocation of the present house , namely , to assist in sacrificing the many . Or the 500 might thus he found , —say 100 each , drapers , grocers , tailors , bu'ch' rs ,

      ond baiters , of tho first names In the London Directory . A few newly made lords are commonly men of stility . fn * great body of tho peers arc assuredly not above the level of the generality of men . All that this body uru = liy doss is to follow Its leaders . This may be affirmed of "n heredltt . ry legislative in every age . 'In all govern , moiits , ' sayo Adam Smith , ' the highest offices sro generally possessed , and the whole detail of the administration conducted , by men who wero educated ! u the mic'dle and inferior ranks of life to whom the great , r . fc r having regarded them first wit ' i contempt , and afterwards with envy , are at last contented to truckle wi ; h the same abject meanness , they do & ire that the r ? p . fc of

      mankind should behave to themselves . '—{ Moral Stnti ments . ) If an hereditary legislative is necessary , why have n co-exlatent elected legislative ? If the latter is sufficient , why have the fo-nv . r ? Sun ly no one ( uolcs desirous of proving himself » fit inmate for a luna fcasy . lum , ) will be found to affirm that a country cannot find among all its people suitable persons to legislate , with . out having recouree to hereditary legislators . ' The idia . ' s & yS Paino , ' ' of hereditary legislators , is as incon . slstent as that of hereditary judges , or hereditary juries ; and as abturd as nn hereditary mathematician , or an hereditary wise man In short , we cannot coneelvi ? a more ridiculous figure of government , than hereditary succession in all it" cases presents , '— { Itighls of Man ) '

      Let us , ' sajs Paine , « suppose that government was now to begin in England ; and that the plan of govern ment offered to the nation , fur its approbation or rejection , consisted of the following parts : —1 , That some in ^ ivi ' - . ual should bo taken from all the rest cf the nation , and to whom all the rest should swear obedience , and never be permitted to sit down in his presence , and that they should give to him one million sterling a year . That tho nation should never oft-r have power or authority to make laws , but with his express consent . And that his sons , and his sons' sons , whether wise or foolish , good men or bad , fit or imfis , should have the same power . And also the same money annually paid to them for ever . 2 . That thero should bo two housss of legislators , te assist in making laws ; one of which should , in the first instance , be entirely appointed by the aforesaid person . And that their sons , and their sons ' sons , whether wise or foolish , good men or bad , fit or

      unfit , should for ever afttr be hereditary legislators . 3 . That the other house should be chosen in the some manner as the house now called the house of commpns is chosen ; and should be subject to tho control of the two aforesaid hereditary pjwers in all things . It would be impossible to cram such a farrago of imposition and absurdity down the throat of this or any other nation , that were capable of reasoning upon its rights and its interest [ The governed would perceive ] that in the ope . ration of it—it would be two to one against them . Be . cause the two parts that were to be made hereditary would form a common interest , and stick to each other . And tiit themselves ... would become no better than hewcri of wood and drawers of water ... Yet call one of these p itvers—king—tho other , lords—and the third , tho cn'Mtmns—and It gives the model of what is called the E < i * ii-. h governmeot .

      THE LAND . BOEBEE ? OP TIIE LAND BT THE ABISTocitAcr . THE LAND THE PBOPEBTY OF THE BNTIBE PEr FLE . Wers it possible f ^ r tho whole human race , throughout its generations ( with the exception of one member ) te Combine fot tho purpose of injuring a hair ot the head ol that one , this would be unlawful in the sight of Heaven . How , then , can it bo Imagined , that A Few , by appropriatlng to themtelves the land , may cause tho necessity for living in society to he ( Instead of the greatest blessing ) the greatest cureo to The Many ? The simple enunciation

      ought'to satisfy every one of its unspeakable Iniquity , Not only those who engross tho li . nd , i e . The Few , ate curses tn society ; but , necessarily , those from who ^ it is abstracted , i . e . The Many , ore curses to one another . From the compatitlon that must , in consequence , exist among th « oo for employment , they lower tho value of each other ' s labour , and thus impoverish and otherwise demoralise one another . Ii It anything but blnspheruy , to Imagine that everything that has tho remotest ap . prcximatlon to such a state of things , is not utterly opposed to the Divine will ?

      Whence wo may perceive that , as human nature is the same in all places and at all times , and as tho constitution of society and of government should also be the name the right to the land must always he everywhere in society , and , through it , in all Its members . E •• . ry one of these has , therefore , a right to an equal participation in common with every other member . But no part of the members of society has lawfully an exclusive title , ¦ T he whole system of laad . d property , ' says Burke , 'is feudal . It is the distribution of the possession of ihe original proprietors , made by a barbarous conqueror to oh barbarous instruments . ' Under an unlawful government , when any party , native or foreign , or a combination of these , arises without right , in any country at any time , and overturns the government—tho lawless titles of the possessors of the land are thereby abrogated .

      But some man in any country er ago may say—I bought my estate , and paid for it with gold , Two things have hero to bo considered—1 . The thing sold , —and , 2 . The means of puroLase . 1 , The thing sold . It must b < j remembered , that those who engross the land deprive those without a property in it of their birthright . Suppose A to sell to B ncctaln quantity when it is tho birthright of othersfor the transfer to be valid those must bj tho parties to tho contract of sale . From this even a lawful govern ment has no power of granting a dispensation . If what has just been stated cannot be impugned , namel y that a government can , properly , only grant to any Individual or company any portion of tho land but for a limited time , and without absolute liberty ef transfer landholders would have nothing they could positively sell

      2 . The means of purchase . To this the repl y Is—You were enabled to enrich yourself in consequence of " society being unlawfully constituted . Your gold was obtained only by tho sacrifice of The Mar . y , deprived of the land By their slavery , The Feto wcro and are enabled to buy it . The means of purchase was thus unlawfully ob talned . The land , therefore , belongs not to the pur chasers of it , but to the real creators of all wealth The industrious members of society , in every country ar . d every ago , then , may say to those who de . sire to engross the land-Suppose you had bought our bodies and our soul ., , should we be obliged to resign oursolMB to your disposal , for no other reason than that you and others by an unlawfol compact , wont to make merchandise of us ? Thus both the title and the means of purchase fail . To any man that affirms he derives his title trom his ancestors , the question obviously is—What right had theyt What right had tho first holder ? That which was

      Originally Unlawfully attained , cannot be lawfully assigned . The possession of a given portion of land nmy In any country bo lawful , or it may be unlawful ; but n ' . ithor the one nor the other can righteously bo iiifluenced by the mere maintenance of poaBserolwn , Simp's possession , however long maintained , has nothing what ev < r to do with right or wrong . If a title Is in tho sight cf Heaven valid , though the professor may have held land but for a day , —his claim cannot be impugned , If a title

Suppose the land of a nation to bo . heldby a few , to the prejudice of the many , for a thousand years ; the length of time during which the wrong has been done , —and ihe numbers that linvo thereby suffered , —so fa , < from its being ft reason for , 18 a moat powerful argument against , Its continuance .

Who is it that rears up the shade of Ihese lofty forests , and blasts them with tho quick lig htning at His pleasure 1 The same Being who gave to you a country on the other side of tho waters , gave ours to us . And by this title we will defend It . '— Mrshine .

      The engrossing the land , and the establishment of a military despotism , are necessarily coincident . Ia the east the dependence on tho rulers for tho possession of the land , is , next to the general demoralization , tho real foundation of the unbroken despotism that prevailed for so many ages . Next to a high degree of morality , — equality of property la undoubtedly tho best securily ogainjrt political violence and commercial injustice . The restoration of the land to the whole people is , then , in any country , one of the earliest steps to their regeneration . Were tho land of a nation lawfully assigned , and the people to become and continue in a high state of morality , it could never again bo engrosses .

      The preamt state of society , arising in a great degree from the land being engrossed , is a full , a perfect , and therefore an unanswerable argument against it . We may , then , again fearlessly challenge the whole world to produce a eingle sentence that c ^ . n euccsssfully be urged in its defence , —or against the doctrine of the propertyin tho land belonging to society at large , or to all tho people of every country , in every age ' . If the nmdor has road tho above extracts in addition to those given in our last , he will have a tolerably good idea of Mr Bishop ' s book , which we earnestly recommend to the friends of progress . The advocates of democratic and social reform will find thia a perfect armoury of great thoughts andsonnd principles , from which may be drawn no end of mental and moral weapons for the combat of truth against falsehood , and justice against inequality .

      A Peerage For The People. By W. Carpente...

      A Peerage for the People . By W . Carpenteu . London : "W . Strange , 21 , Paternoster-row . The revival of ' Hlack Book' exposures of the evils inflicted upon society by Royalty and Aristocracy is a sign of the times—a sign that the poor portion of the bourgeoisie are growing restive under their share o { the burden which has transformed John * Bull into Jack-Ass . Not one out of a thousand of the shopocracy have any sympathy with Chartism , or any desire to see the ascendancy of veritable Democracy ; but finding themselves rapidly descending that ' sliding scale' at the bottom of which is the poor law hostile , they are fast becoming clamorous for ' Reform . ' Hence the revived outcry against the Aristocracy . Our readers do not need to be told that the worst enemies of Labour ' s rights are to be found in the ranks of those bastard aristocrats whose

      wealth constitutes their only claim to supenoiity . Those are the working men ' s worst , deadliest enemies . At the same time we have no objection to see the old brigand aristocracy brought to the dust ; therefore , we are glad to help the circulation of such I ndications as the Black Booh ; and , therefore , we notice this work , and commend it to our readers . ' A Peerage for the People is the work of a man to whom we owe no deed or word of kindness or goodwill ; but we can afford to be just even to an unscrupulous enemy . For the man we entertain sentimen * s the reverse of respect , but regarding him now in his character of author , we cannot hesitate to wish his book an extensive circulation .

      Prefacing the « Introduction , ' the author has inserted' An Appeal from the Critics to the Public , ' in which he has with good reason complained of unjust criticism , or rather misrepresentation on the part of tne Literary Gazette . It is a pity that the author of' A Peerage , & c , ' has been too guilty of the conduct he too properly blames in another . Lloyd ' s Threepenny Trash contains , almost weekly , the evidences of a spirit of brutal enmity towards the Chartist body , far exceeding the worst offences imputed to the Literary Gazette , by the author of the work under notice .

      This work contains an alphabetical list of the entire peerage—with the exception of some very recent creations . First is given the title of each peer , then the name , then the motto , then the relations , then the places and emoluments , and then a sketch of the family history ; the whole terminating with a biographical account of the living peer . In many cases to the possessor of a hig h sounding title is only allotted a few lines , personal or family insignificance , or both , rendering any lengthier notice unnecessary ; but the Broughams . Berksfords , Bedfords , Wellingtons , Ashbtjrtons , & c , Sec , have several pages devoted to the publication of their illustrious (?) history . We give the following extracts : —

      raiviuQEs or im mas , It is the privilege of a peer not to bo arrestable for debt ; a privl ' ege which bad its origin in no legislative enactment , but which came to be a custom from the practice of those Norman conquerors , who would consider it an act of ludicrous folly to submit to imprisonment for a debt to one of the Saxons they had subdued . Another privilege of the peers , is the protection of a stricter libel law than that in ordinary practice . To say anything to the prejudice of a peer , whether true or false , is tho offence termed sandalum magnatum , and is punishihle with fine and imprisonment . To assault a peer , or a peer's servant , is en effence punishable mere severely than a similar assault on another description of person ;

      extending the protection to the menial is a characteristic feature of aristocratic insolence . The peers have still the old exemption called the' * be it-fit of clergy' by which 1 clerks' who could read and write were exempt from the punishment of death for certain crimes , on the first off-nee . When extended to peers , the privilege was very eovisUerately Uftresttieted u Id literary qtlaUneailons : so that any peer may commit a first act of house-breaking or robbery with impunity . This privilege has a ridiculous appearance . Peers are not now in a situation in which they would benefit by such crimes : but at one period , as we huva already said , the i ight to commit robbery without danger , was a material valuable prlvilego and , being valuable , they seised it .

      H 4 NCFACTORE 07 MODERN rEEBS . At the accession of tho present family , Sir Robert Walpolo encouraged a corruption he turned to good account , but it remained for his successors in office , to carry the system to perflation , till the huxter of a few votes in the Lower House was secure of his seat In tho other , Pitt ooems to have used n coronet as the cheapest bribe . HIjswr ambition was of a loftier kind ; and he must have despised many pf the men his politics condemned him to ennoble ; or he must have omiled in secret , as he

      made a lord , where he could not have a gentleman , * * * In the p llaces of the oast , adulation may have been carried to a greater height ; " out never was on English court more disgraced than by the titled nretchea who pandered to the dying lasts ot George the Fourth , Dissipated and exiravgint in his youth , there were nevertheless some redeeming graces to be found In his character ; but his manhood passed awsy unadorned by a single virtue , and his o'd age was dishonoured with almost every vice .

      ABlSTOCB & CT AT PaiSENT . Aristocracy did at one time exhibit qualities , which , if they could not command rosprot or esteem , did not fsil to excite wonder and admiration . But its high chivalry is degenerated into pure chicaner ; ; its lofty cvurage jrj bunk into low cunning , its disregard of mere wealth h » s given way to a buuerlng spirit of money , getting and money-ketping ; iU ambition for personal prowess bus been transmitted Into a peddling and petti , fogging appetite for the vulgar means and materials by which to maintain its mischievous eminence . Its ex'e nal aspect and bearing have undergone a eorres . pending change ; and a lord , as such , is growlus ashamed to show his face out of his own circle of foetmon . fnllnwjrii and fellow Inrdn

      LOED 3 AS THET ABE . If we follow the modern peer Into private life , the seme is not more creditable to his character . Observe how he dispenses the hospitality which his station 1 m . poses up > . n him , no less as omn-. ter of state and external splendour , that of policy and personal interest . His entertainments are furnished at so much a head by Mr Guntor ; hia servants aro kept on'board wages ;' bis equipages 'jibbed' by tho year ; hia hunters are borrowed for the season from Mr Tilbury ; his plate for the i > ijht from Mr Itundell ; and his ancestral halls and 0 iBtltB aro exhibited to tho public curiosity at so much a head !—Finally , he palms his cast-off mistresses upon the put He purse , and exchaipes wires with bis friend , on tho principle of an ' equltabl * adjustment ; ' giving or receiving the tatimatod differences in the value of the articles respectively .

      We regret that we have not room to quote one or two of the sketches of our ' very worthy and approved good roasters . ' Here we must remark , that the ' motto , ' of a peer is often singularly appropriate , and illustrative of the abominable pretensions of the aristocracy ; for instance : —Baron AnERCitoMBY — ' I live , and will live ; ' Baron Abinger—' fortunefavours the shameless ; ' Marquis of Anglesky — 'lam the reverse of what I seemed to be ; ' The Duke of Ahgyle— - ' / con scarce call these things my own ; ' Baron Barham — ' All or nothing ; ' Duke ot Beaufort— ' / care nothing about reputation •' Baron Ash burton— . ' We must first be rich before we think of being virtuous ; ' & c , & c . Rich the Barings notoriously are , and has not Coouett immortalised their disinterested and patriotic virtues ?

      PERIODICALS . Tail ' s Edinburgh Magazine . July . Edinburgh Sutherland and Knox . London : Simpkin , Marshall , and Co . Amongst the articles in this number of fait not calling for particular notice , are : — ' Miranda : a tale of the French Revolution ; ' ' A Night on Arthur ' s Seat ; ' ' An Old Woman ' s Tale ; ' and a review of a recently published ' Memoir of William Eli . krlv Channing . ' In the tale entitled ' Miranda' we notice a passing and indirect testimony to

      Robesfierre ' s worship of virtue . The author of the tale is speaking of the dens of vice situated in the Palais Royal previous to , and for some time during , the first revolution , and says;— 'Under the Republic they all disappeared before the unmerciful war made upon every haunt of crime by Maximilian Robespierre and the Convention , which , though filled by many individually bad men , was pure and generous in most of its collective aspirations . ' An article entitled 'Our Debt—our Colonies—and their Owners ' —is well deserving of perusal by the gentlemen who constitute the ' collective wisdom' of thft land . The

      writer of the article advocates a federal union of the colonies with the mother country , placing them ia all respects upon an equality with England . That any such sensible course will be adopted and pur » sued by our imbecile and insolent rulers , we have no hope of seeing . Were the Charter law , such a federal union would be highly probable ; but , under present circumstances , we can only look forward to a series of struggles , disgraceful and ruinous to this country , for the end must be the rending away of colony after colony , until the whole of ' our colonial empire' shall have become , like the United States , independent , and imbued with a deadly hatred towards this nation . Such , we repeat , mus t be the certain effect of a continuance of the

      aristocratic and bourgeois rule . A large portion of this number is occupied by Mr St John ' s contributions ; the tale noticed above is from his pen , and he also contributes a series of interesting papers on ' The Revolutions in Europe . ' Included in these articles there is a minute account of the French tariff ; and a very readable sketch of Parisian journalism , as existing prior to the revolt of June . ' Previous to the revolution , there were twenty-six dailg papers in Paris—at present there are about one hundred and fifty V Since this was written , the best of the new journals have been suppressed by Dictator Cavaignac 'The Battle of Paris' is but an imperfect commencement of a description ot the late insurrection . Mr St John accounts for the insurrection thus : —

      The Ateliers Nationavx were informed that they were going to be marched out of Paris . T » many , tbls was o frightful prospect . Besides , there was a general feel , ing abroad that the National Assembl y had not dme its duty . Iastead of discussing the one urgent question of labour , and Its rights ; capital , property , and its duties , they occupied themselves with divorce bills , details of finance , of costume , of rules , < fec , while aU those who spoke for the workman were treated with contempt , Pierre Leroux is wild enough in his notions , tut tho National AssemHy might have treated him with common decency , instead of tooting him down . A geutral complaint was abroad , The shopkeepers did little or no

      bueicess , and they intempcrately urged that the wsrking classes had no right to their tenpence a day when they did not work for it , They forgot that there was no work for them , that many a family was stmi-Btarvod on this pittance , that the state is bound to see that no maa starves as long as there is a penny-piece to be fonnd to buy him a loaf . The more sacredly property ia protected , the more saeivdly is it bound to provide , in moments ot ' stagnation , a Lit of bread for the hungry . When property does not do this , men naturally inquire into its rights , wbich txistonlyas it performs its duties . At length , the smouldering fiie came to a flame . The insurrection began .

      In the teeth of this statement the editor of Tail ' s Magazine has the assurance to assert that the' Red Republicans have destroyed freedom ; ' and adds that the Socialists and Communists' have dyed red the streets of Paris , as never streets of any city were reddened before . ' This is a calumny . The imbeciles and traitors included in the provisional government , the _ scoundrel majority in the Assembly , and the entire mass of the blood-thirsty bourgeoisie , are the parties responsible for these torrents of blood . If the editor of Tail will turn back to his June number , page 389 , he will find the following confirmation of our assertions as regards the blood-thirstiness of the bourgeoisie , supplied b y his own Paris correspondent , who is describing the events of the 15 th of May , and the anxious desire of the shopocracy to she ' d the blood of Barbes and his friends .

      The Civic Guard several times thrust at them with swords and bayonets ; nobody being more savage and sanguinary , I must say , than the shopocracy of P « ris when victorious . Lambs when tho people triumph , the French bourgeoisie are ptrfectly feroce when they are ia arcs on a day of victory . They showed this in 1830 aod 1 S 31 ; and anyone who hadhesrd them talk on Monday , would soon have seen that they were animated by none of the generous sentiments of the working men on tho 24 th and 25 th of February . * Shoot them without trial —pour grape shot on tho ruffians!—kill them ; ' was the general cry I heard from the groups of armed citizens . The preoence ef large bodies of workmen ia the ranks alone prevented the day being terrible .

      The blood-reeking despotism now established in Prance , is the natural result of the half measures of February . Lamartine ' s philanthropic humbug ha » ruined the Republic . May this be an enduring lesson to the working men of every land . The great truth cannot be too often repeated , that' 77 ioje who make half revolutions , but dig graves for themselves !'

      The Ethnological Journal. Edited By Luke...

      The Ethnological Journal . Edited by Luke Burke . July . Loudon : 12 , Red Lion Court , Fleet , street . We learn with pleasure that the first number ot the Ethnological Journal has received the wellmerited applause of a considerable number of the daily and weekly members of thepress . The present number is certainly not inferior to its predecessor in exciting a desire to know more of the treasures oi knowledge which the Editor avers—and as already given some proofs that he possesses . The ' Critical Analysis of the Hebrew Chronology ' is continued , and we think every careful and impartial reader

      will come to the conclusion that , thus far , Mr Buiikk has proved the antediluvian chronology , as commonly received , to be utterly worthless . The article on ' Varieties of Complexion in the Human Races' is a continuation of Mr Burke ' a inquiry into the nature and causes of the physical differences of mankind . The belief generally ' entertained that the colour of the human skin is the effect of climate , is proved to be thoroughly erroneous ; and * race' is shown to be the predominating influence by which the varieties of human complexion are regulated . But the most interesting article in this number is decidedly that entitled ' The Destruction of Atlantis \'—a translation and comment upon two

      fragments of antique history in the Dialogues of Plato . If these ' fragments ' are not the mere figments of Plato's brain , as they have been generally held to be , then indeed they are wondrous revelations of the golden days of old . At present we must confess our scepticism , but as we have not studied the subject we make no pretension to set up our opinion against the better-informed judgment of Mr Burke . When he has developed the whole of his theory—for the subject is to be continued— -we shall be better able to give reasons for the belief or disbelief we may have arrived at . We look forward with impatience for a further elucidation of this very interesting question .

      We believe Mr Burke to be a man capable of doing the state some service ; we , therefore cordially wish him succtss , and earnestly recommend the Ethnological Journal to our reading friends , assuring them that they will find it the most original , and , to say the least , one of the most valuable publications of the day .
