She has been severely afflicted "i with asthma fo . 'seven years until about three months ' ago , when having received a letter from « friend in Louth . ( recommending Dr lecock ' s Wafers , she purchased a box , < and although she had not been able to lie down for twelve , or fourteen weeks , the first dose enabled ber to do so , and take a comfortable night ' s sleep , and she is < effectually rsred by five boxes .

      The Chaos. " Out Of Chaos Comes Order," ...

      THE CHAOS . " Out of chaos comes order , " and " Coming events cast their sbadows . before ; " and if ever there was a period of the world ' s history when the future could be guessed at from the present , it is now—when all society is one great chaos , and its several branches are endeavouring to shadow the general future , each through its own peculiar kaleidoscope . . The mind , if not attached to , becomes by degrees , familiarised with , the most extraordinary events , and occurrences—changes repugnant to the human feelings , and antagonistic to Nature ' s lawsmay come upon society with a hop , step , and jump , when man will either tolerate them from utter ignorance of their probable consequences , or will be compelled to accept them through fear . t t g c . I i C i I i "i ' ( <

      The constitution of society , under such altered circumstances , cannot even be guessed at until the change , if evil and injurious to society , becomes part and parcel of its laws and discipline , and then-, constituting the basis , we are told by those who have gathered power under its influence , that too rapid progress , or too violent changes , are sure to be destructive , and precedent is flashed in our face to explain the dangers consequent upon over hast y legislation . < . ' I < J ] j , I ]

      Thus England was , by degrees , redeeming herself from the barbarism of feudal ages , when machinery came upon us with a hop , step , and jump . Its results , in infancy , together with our great naval power , which ena . bled us to force its produce in times of war upon those countries whose people were employed in the battle-field , were so fascinating to the labourer , and so congenial to the feelings of the Government , whose Exchequer it redenished , that none looked beyond the ' passing lour—all were satisfied—all were contented , loping that the thine : would last for ever ; and those several Governments which have been endeavouring to establish the principle of centralisation , had not the brains to see that '

      this sectionalisms of society under different heads—each employer constituting an autocrat—would p lace them in the double difficulty of seducing the rich , and compelling the poor , to bear the burdens of the State . It is much easier to extract a large amount of taxation from a whole people , than to extract a more moderate amount from a party which possesses exclusive power . Our debt was contracted—our lands were

      taken from the poor , and given to the pious sons of the rich—our navy was augmentedour army was increased—our pensions were provided—our Governmental expenditure was multiplied—all under . the feudal system ; but , then , the feudal lord paid for all . Taxation was direct , and the working classes of this country have yet to understand the meaning of the Whig maxim , " Taxation without representation , is tyranny , and should be resisted . " The great change in our system of taxation gave birth to this maxim . Formerl y , all taxes were direct , and then they fell exclu-

      The Chaos. " Out Of Chaos Comes Order," ...

      sively upon' thOSe Who ttlade the laws pbiit when the system ef : indirect taxation was sab < stituted for direct taxation , all who smoked a pipe—all who saw light through a windowall who breathed and lived , were taxed , and those who died were buried in taxed ground , until ; at length the country is distracted by the devices of our new aristocracy as to how they shall relieve themselves of the oldlfeudal burdens ; while , under their discipline and rule , they have enormously increased the local burdens , which are the individual burdens of the . poor ; and yet the poor have not the brains to see through that crooked policy hy which they would now use them as the means of accomplishing their own ends .

      The » ew . system under which , we live , has come upon us with a hop , step , and jump ; influential parties , incited by their fears and apprehensions of what is passing abroad , are dull enough , ignorant enough , and foolish enough to prefer existing chaos to order , which might now be moulded out of existing confusion , followed by those timely and prudent changes for which the progressive mind of man is prepared , and which the requirements and resolution of man will enforce .

      The fascinating theories of the peace preservation gentlemen , the promising figures of the Financial Reformers , the cleanliness of the washers and scourers of the poor , the sympathisers with the indigent , the philosophical champions of sectarian education , the bold advocates of THEIR OWN RIGHTS , and the monopolists of all other men ' s rights , may hope to tickle their hearers , their readers , their disciples , and their pupils , with their fascinating theories , * but we tell them , that byjone process only can the promised benefits be realised , and that is by the selection by the people

      themselves of those representatives who are to effect the promised changes by law , and render { hem nationally and not sectienally beneficial . The practical result of class legislation has been the feeding that class of which the Government is the shadow and representative , upon those classes- who are opposed to their shadow ; and , therefore / under the altered system and the present constitution of society , we are net for the acceptance of direct taxation as a substitute for indirect taxation , inasmuch as that although Government is centralised as far as the National Debt , the Church , the Armv ,

      the Navy , and Governmental expenditure is concerned , legislation and taxation are sectionalised , inasmuch as the power of inflicting local burdens and taxes is assumed by the local authorities , and cannot be resisted . Nay , we go further , and assert that that legislation which imposes local burdens , is not only sectionalised , but individualised , as the amount of indirect taxation paid by the poor consumer is but a small percentage when compared with the amount extracted from him in the shape of rent , 'batings , ' fines , reduction of wages , and the innumerable whimsical tyrannies practised upon the unprotected operative by the

      protected master . The workman in most instances , in Lancashire , is as much the serf of the employer , as the old English serf was of his feudal lord ; nay , more so if the old serf held land and a house upon the condition of rendering certain services to the feudal lord , be could till that land , and the house was the castle of his family for the whole seven days in the week ; whereas the manufacturing serf is compelled to take his house at the price put upon it b y his feudal lord , while he is but too happy if he can secure four days work in the week , although he has to pay seven days' rent .

      These are the anomalies—the galling anomalies—which we have been endeavouring for years to destroy , while political tinkers have been trying . to patch the old pot , to ensure its boiling during their time . We have looked to a sound principle—the principle of Universal Suffrage —as the means of effecting safely for all , those several changes which crotchet-mongerswhether political or religious—would secure for the r sect or their class .

      We have told our readers , twelve years since , that the day would come when the fact of a man , dressed like a monkey , with a sword by his side , a muff upon his head , and a musket in his hand , would be told by nursemaids as a fairy tale to little children—but we tell those , who so enthusiastically contend for the abolition of this beastiality , that it is only to be beneficially effected by . Universal Suffrage , when , not only every man of twenty-one years of age , but every woman aid child , would be soldiers in the National Army , to defend the rights of alii

      How long have we laboured to convince the English people , that if the army was abolished to-morrow , a large local police force , to keep Labour in trammels , and paid by Labour , would be established in its stead—and that no change—however fascinating in anticipationis worth to LABOUR a single straw , except emanating from the united mind of Labour itself . This is what the Continent of Europe is now struggling for . Here we find countries basing their systems upon our persecuted principles . It will not do to tell us that it is upon the principles of Fox , Richmond , and the

      Whigs , accepted and promised in 1780 , that these nations are now about to base their political system . We say " No . " That it is upon the Chartist trials , uponChartist speeches , upon Chartist writings , and persecution of the Chartist people , for the last twelve years-Chartist speeches in the House of Commons—Chartist triumph upon Kenningron Common —and the dread of Chartism , entertained b y faction , that the political mind of Europe is now formed . And , strange to say , the material elements of Chartism have been adopted by the . most powerful despot in Europe—the successor of the martial Frederic , the

      Prussian warrior , whose troops in the dead of night , at the sound of the trumpet , were obliged to muster , fully accoutred , at a few minutes ' notice . This Monarch who came to England , six years ago , with his kingdom in his hand ' , and his Constitution in his hat , to stand sponsor for bur Princess Royal . This Monarch is now a prisoner in the Chartist prison . Its principles are his gaoler , with the option of holding his crown by the grace of the people , or surrendering it b y the grace of God ; and , tenaciously as he has adhered to the title of Divine right , no doubt he will cheerfully accept the tenancy under the new lessors .

      Here was Prussia , with its regiment of nobles , after the manner of the young Roman Legion , holding the balance of power in Europe , obliged to concede Universal Suffrage No Property Qualification for a Member of * the Lower House , and . only 75 l . a-year— -what a well-employed ' mechanic would earn—as a qualification for the Upper House ; thus ' substituting the most humble ' means of fr ugal life for gilded imbecility and hereditary folly and the total abolition , of titles . "

      Is not this a greater Koto , step , and jump for 1 russia , than the whole Charter would be fer reformed England ? and , although twentvfour years is theatandard of age for a voterand although the- Constitution says that the voter must be independent—that is , not dependent upon alms or charit y for subsistence —we hail the promised Constitution with surpassing joy , as under it few will be denendent upon charity or alms , and the vig our of youth will speedily diminish the standard of years ts twenty-ene , as the necessity of our paternal Government has compelled it toreduce the standard height of soldiers

      . * wH w- n 0 grea ? W or in Ju 9 tice thhn that ! of hating or despising a King because Kings have been tyrants ; but , upon the contrary , when we see a wise King at the head of a military nation , preferring the acceptance not of manacles , but of proper restrictions to the shedding of human blood , we accept him as a proud example to cruel Monarchs , and say ,

      "GO AND DO THOU LIKEWISE . " This example will go further with the league of Kings , notwithstanding the vituperation of

      the' Pressing , thaw all the afiBS ^ fen ** that icould be . opposedttothem . ' . ¦ ¦*• ¦ ¦ ¦ -- ' < v < v ; ¦ ¦> - When Charles Albert was fantastical . / engaged in his Quixotic . freaks ; he waa ' the Cfcsaf oTthe age ; but ' when he failed he wa ^ the nincompoop of t the Press .. When tho Despot . of Austria abandoned the Palace of the Caesars , he was lauded for his humanity , and his anxiety to spare the blood of his loved people ; but when he abdicated he was an IMBECILE . When the King of Prussia , ,,. * .. ..., _ m . vj 1 . .. nm . A' - ' . « . ?

      resisted the popular voice , and presented himself in peacock's plumes , as chief mourner at the funeral of his slaughtered people , he was worthy of his . great ancestor ,, who was every inch a King , and the most fitting Sponsor for our Princess ltoyal ; but when ; he wisely discovered that the voice of knowledge waa stronger than the cannon ' s roar , and when he conceded to justice what he could ho longer withhold by force , he was a hesitating fool , a prisoner at Potsdam , a Monarch without power , and a weak-minded man .

      This is the stability of our independent Press ; and before twelve months elapse the same corps will loudly declaim against our tyrant rulers , for hot sooner having conceded to justice what , within that period , they will be obliged to yield to fear .

      King Constable. It Now Appears That The ...

      KING CONSTABLE . It now appears that the Special Constable of the 10 th of April is to be President of the French Republic . It no longer remains doubtful , although it is possible that he may not have polled the required majority . It will not be doubtful in that case , because then the very difficulty—nay , the danger—which we have seen in this mode of election , would come upon the Judges in the Court of A ppeal . If the Constable has not the required majority , the BAG OF MOONSHINE

      declares that the National Assembly may reverse the national verdict , artd give judgment for the appellant . But suppose the case—suppose the final judgment to rest with the National Assembly , and suppose that Assembly , to reject the accepted of the actual , though not the required , majority of the people , in such case the struggle would not be confined within' the narrow limits of Paris , which j heretofore has been the national battle ground ; it would not resolve itself into a battle between civil indignation and military force ; it would not resolve itself into a struggle of indigence against

      wealth , or of labour against capital , but into a struggle of class against class—of soldier against soldier—sailor against sailor—banker against banker—merchant against merchantpartisan against partisan—favourite against favourite—expectant against expectant—civilian against Civilian—and fool against fool . We may be told that the apathy of the majority of the electoral body would justly constitute the National Assembly as a Court of Appeal ; but our answer to our learned brethren is , that although such maxim may hold good in Westminster Hall , where the judgment of the Judge or the verdict of the

      Jury is final , conclusive , and irresistible ; that in the case of President , an actual majority being the plaintiffs , and the rejected and an actual minority being the defendants , with an appeal from the Court to the nation , that the judgment would not only be reversed , but the Court would be deposed for endeavouring to substitute party whim for national decision . Whereas , if the decision had been left to the Assembly , the Assembly would not have been operated upon by the name , the pretensions , or the ambition of the English Special Constable , but by the promise , the business habits , and the fitness of the candidate .

      Can anything be more ridiculous than the fact of electing a National Assembly by Universal Suffrage , of allowing that Assembly to declare a Constitution , and frame laws under it , and yet strip that Assembly of the responsibility of electing him who is responsible for observance of that constitution , and those under him , for the just administration of those laws ? But when we know that Kin * Constable is a tool in the hands of the professed Monarchists of France , and that , with them , the question is not WHO but WHAT—not who shall be the fiist magistrate but what shall be the form of governmentwe lose all faith in the realisation of

      Republican principles . Is there a working man in England so foolish , so silly , or so insane as to imagine that King Constable will realise the anticipation of the working classes ? or is there an imbecile who cannot see the future ambition of Caviagnac shadowed in his past ingenious and treacherous diplomacy ? and can it' be doubted that a struggle is at hand , the result of which no foresight can guess at—the result of which no mind can contemplate without a shudder r While this struggle was going on Labour was holding its out-door meetings and its in-door feasts , but , throughout , not a speaker has ventured even a guess at the policy of either candidate .

      We , however , venture to predict , that should King Constable be returned by the required majority , that the friends of Cavaignac will enunciate some new theory , unpalatable to the Buonapartists but suiting to the appetite of the gapers , and then the most deadly national feud will commence . The "Times'' of Wednesday , always ready to accept a misfortune which it cannot avert ,

      maps out the line of policy which ought to be adopted by King Constable ; and that policy is to fraternise with the English government , which is still strong enough , and united enough , and , no doubt , willing enough , to assist in the preservation of peace in France , and in the maintenance of sound principles and peaceful policy . These sound principles , if translated into common sense , would read , the Ascendancy of Capital , the Dependence of Labour , and , according to the old Irish proverb ,

      "SCRATCH ME AND I'LL SCRATCH YOU . " However , notwithstanding all this flourish of trumpets , Froggy and JOHN BULL will have quite enough to do to scratch themselves , without , stretching their horns across their channel . < . f ,.. v Italy was the ^ first battle-ground of King Constable ' s uncle . This child of the Revolution of ' 93 , the spawn of the'Republic , as his first work destroyed every Republic in Italy ; and having made France a martial nation , he placed his brothers and relatives upon the several thrones of Europe , tickled the national mind by filling the national treasury with foreign plunder , and tickled the national taste

      by making Paris the depositary of foreign works of art . He looked upon , meri as ninepins , and relied upon the desolation of war as a substitute for the cholera and pestilence . He gave the nation a character , and its people pride ; he cost England some hundreds of millions of pounds , which John Bull cheerfully paid upon the assurance that he should receive thirty shillings in the pound , and which John ' s successors not now being able to pay , will pause before he again becomes the arbiter between King Constable and French factions . The Labour Question is the question—the veritable question—the only question—which should occupy the minds of wise statesmen ; and yet it is the one ques ' tion to which the representatives of capital ttfnra . deaf ear .

      " Botter beep the ills we have Than fly to those we know not of "— ¦'¦ ' is now the maxim . of the leading men of all classes in England ; while , without a change in the Labour System , we tell them that , much as they approve the ills they have—namelyirthelr National Debt , their Army and Navy Establishments , their Pension List , and Governmental Expenditure , that they cannot keep those ills so dear to them , without " flying to others that they know not of . "

      The war-cry of England is gone—she can no longer convoy her manufactures to all the ports of the world , for other nM on are

John'did hot care what duty he paid upon leather , ; wine , and rrKilt—what tax he paid for horses ,- servants , light and fire ; he cared not what the military or governmental expense was so long as he was able to live upon the profits . But experience lias wade John wise . John reads the following list s * the result of the second year of Free TraJe ; he scratches his head'looks

      , gloomy , puts his cavalry horse to the plough , gets his old boots soled and heeled , his coat patched , diminishes his household , reduces the wages of his labourers , discharges his governess , takes his children from school , declines the accepted offer for his daughter—the required portion not being compatible with his present means—and thus he is a very different contributor to the Exchequer , as compared with the good old days of the veritable Boney . Here follows John ' s death warrant : —

      Amsbican Fbovisions . — The following supplies of provisions have recently been received from the United States of America : — The line of packet ship Victerin , from New York , has brought 8355 boxes and 19 i casks of cheese , 3288 barrels of flour , and 2 D of lard , 2195 casks » f beef , 430 barrels of apples , 9 of bread , and 10 G hogsheads and 77 » barrels of oil-cake ; the Isaac Allsrton , from New Orleans , 86 bags and 5317 sacks of Indian corn ; the Gertrude , from New Orleans , 2896 sacks of Indian corn , and 4321 bags of wheat ; the Medallion , from Phlladel . phla , lfifio barrels of flour , 1 . 01 barrels of Indian corn menl , 106 0 bushels and 1899 sacks of Indian corn , and 1872 sacks of wheat ; the Ljdia , from Baltimore , 72 ) 0 barrels of flour ; the Switzerland , from Baltimore , 5306 barrels of flour , 6 > barrels of lard , aad 2 l 22 bags and 6087

      Now , by the above we must measure John I Bull's ability to fraternise with King Constable , according to the " Times "; ORGANISATION . Here we find that the " Richard Cobden" from New York ( what an ominous name for John Bull ) , alone brings 5 , 700 barrels of flour , 18 , 404 bushels of corn , leaving no margin for 46 casks and 23 tubs of cheese ; and if we estimate the corn lowly that produced the 5 , 700 barrels of flour at 12 , 000 bushels , and add it to the 18 , 404 bushels , we have coming in the "Richard Cobden" alone , the produce of 1 , 250 acres of

      land , at 24 bushels to the acre , pitching the cheese overboard . But this is only an insignificant item , compared with the awful list which we trust every reader will peruse ; and let the reader bear in mind , that this is produced from America alone , and then let the working classes say whether or no they can spare the English farmers , labourers , and shopkeepers , as consumers of their produce ; and let ihe " Times ' say whether or no John Bull , subject to such competition , is likely to be as loyal a subject as when he allowed Billy Pitt to put his hand in his pocket .

      But as our fraternity with King Constable will mainly depend upon the squeezability of English landlords and farmers—and lest the above sorrowful competitive catalogue should be looked upon as a mere temporary incidentwe beg the attention of our readers to the following table , furnished by an official , and one of the ablest staticians in the United States : — The same gentleman , from documents in tho Patentofflce , has compiled the following , as the amount of the different kinds of grain produced in the United States , in 1817 , according to tho estimate contained in the table preceding the agricultural report of the Patent-office for the present year , namely , :- Totals .

      Breadstuff ' s . bushels . Busbe ' s . Indian corn or maize .. ' 539 , 35 o , 0 i 0 Wheat 111 , 245 , 500 Rye 29 , 222 , 70 ' ) Buckwheat 11 , 673 , 500 691 , 491 , 700 Grain not used for breadstuff ' s . Oats .. ' .. : .. .. 167 , 867 , 000 BBriey •¦ ^™ 1 WW Total 868 , 008 , 650 Other articles of food . Potataes 100 , 95 ^ , 960 buiheis . Beans and poas 50 , 600 , 000 „ Rice 103 , 640 , 699 pounds . Estimated population , 20 , 746 , 400

      In concluding his tables and estimates , he remarks : — " The aggregate surplus of grain produced in the United States is estimated at 28 , 1 ) 99 , 009 quarters . The largest quantity of foreign grain taken by Great Britain and Ireland , which was last year , reached 14 , 618 , 000 quarters , or about one-half only of our surplus , as stated above , excluding oats , barley , beans , peas , rice , and potatoes . In contrast with these overflowing granaries of our own country , it may be added that the whole quan . tity estimated to bs avaUable for export from Europe and Asia is only equal to about nine million quarters , or onefourth of the surplus of the United States . This account should allay all dovbt , if any exists , of the ability of the United States , with open ports , to feed the world . "

      Now , then , if John was in any doubt before as to the future , let him peruse the above , and Wit-he will see his future grim visage ; while in jth ' e year- ¦ •¦ 1 845 , the '* Times" assured us that America never could export 500 , 000 quarters in one year . This 500 , 000 now becomes magnified into 28 , 000 , 000 , leaving no margin for beef , pork , butter , cheese , and , in short , everything that'high rented land in England saddled with- ;; National Debt , tithe , malt tax , mortgage debts , marriage portions , younger children ' s provisions , bond debts , governmental

      expenses , and all the rest of it , has to produce at war rents measured by war prices . And the question of English fraternisation with King Constable must receive a FREE TRADE solution . And let John further bear in mind , that while America boasts ( and truly ) of being able to grow a sufficient quantity of food to feed the world , that Free Trade now is but in its infancy—agriculture in America is but in the cradle , John must depend upon . Jonathan for food and raw cotton , while Jonathan will not long depend upon John for anything .

      A Whig Defeat. A Straw Has This Week Bee...

      A WHIG DEFEAT . A straw has this week been thrown into the air , which helps to show which way the wind blows . We noticed last week the disinclination of the middle classes for political move , ments , and the absence of any of the " little goes which are usual about this season . On Wednesday night , however , " The Westminster Reform Society , " better known as the " Old Rump broke ground-by holding a special meeting for the consideration of a resolution , which its mover , Mr Pouncey , hoped would be adopted by all the other Middle Reform So . cieties , as « a sort of fugle motion . "

      n / r-ii n , £ cor P orate meeting of the MiUflle Lla ss Reformers since the conspiracy Of Lord John Rumll and his fellow conspirators against public opinion had virtually suenced it , and under these circumstances some interest attaches to the tactics adopted by these very moderate Liberals . It might have been supposed that they would have contented themselves by affirming their ownlove of order , peace , and legal and constitutional means , with ! out ostentatiousl y echoing the calumnies of a hireling Press against the patriots on the Continent—or the persons at home , who , if a little more impatient , are at least as sincere friends of freedom as "the old rump . " They might have taken very judiciously as a motto » r «>*

      every tub stand on its own bottom . " But they were not wise enough to do this . Still labouring under the influence of the ter . rorist Press , and believing that everybody was as panic-stricken as themselves , they prefaced their string of milk and-water reforms , by an emphatic condemnation of "the wild conduct of professing Liberals in this country" and " the excesses which have been perpetrated under the

      name of liberty in other countries . " lhis sop to Cerberus was highly applauded by the clique of Coppock , and the " better-to-besafe" old women of " the rump . " It made them "so ; respectable , " put such a gulf between them and Chartists or other " wild" peopleand offered so excellent an invitation to all the timid shopkeepers , who had half-a-crown or half-a-sovereign to spare , in order to get up a mock agitation for reform , that it was looked

      upon as quite a master-piece of diplomacy . Unfortunately , however , for the old women who have so long been accustomed to dictate to the electors of Westminster—while they have been standing still , all the rest of the world has been advancing , and it turns out that even the " Westminster Reform Society '» has been reformed . These confounded democratic principles penetrate everywhere . At every corner they start up to confront youthey come whenever you " call spirits from the vastydeep . " ^ Thus it happened in the snug room at the York Hotel . A member protested

      strongly against condemning the conduct of Liberals , either at home or abroad , ai \ d recommended the meeting to confine its attention solely to positive reforms ; they had enough to do in that way , without stepping aside to blame other people . Air Wright—hia name deserves to be mentioned—also manfully defended the conduct and motives of the Chartists ; though , he said , he did not belong to that body , he condemned the infamous and disgraceful plot of Lord John Russell , and his complicity with such wretches as Powell and others ; and , with reference to the excesses abroad , said he had

      no sympathy with the Tory policy which expatiated on the few isolated victims of popular indignation , while it was altogether silent respecting the atrocities committed by the opponents of liberty . He , therefore , moved the expulsion of this obnoxious clause , and , we rejoice to say , succeeded in carrying it , in spite of several thorough Whig manoeuvres , greatly to the discomfiture of the Whig" rump . " Mr Pouncey declared it was the last time he would ever enter the room . So much the better

      for the society , if he keeps his promise . The Reform engine needs no drag upon it from its professing friends . It has obstacles enough . to encounter without them . We are gratified that this meeting has taken place , because it shows that even in the somewhat aristocratic and exclusive circles of so-called Liberals , there is spreading a healthy tone of public opinion , and that , despite all the machinations of the Whigs , the spirit of freedom , though quietly awaiting its time , is yet prepared for that time , when it comes .
