      THE SPIRIT ' S FLIGHT . Oh ! where is the soul of Democracy fled—Has it ceas'd to exist—does it sleep with the dead ? Has the gloom of the grave , and the darkness of death , Overshadowed the son that iUumined its path ? Does oppression trimn ' p banil y hold it in thrall , Or exultingly smile on its funeral pall ? yo—the soul of Democracy shortly has fled , Hut a spirit so pure , cannot rest with the dead . In Home long had Tyranny reared Us proud crest ,

      And supported its sway by tnegnue ot tne priest ; But the people at length wished a people to be ; And proclaimed their resolve and their right to he free ; , . But their ri g ht was denied by thc Sovereign-Priest , "Who had promised Reform , thoug h it seemed ' twas in jest ; And scarce had the people their banner displayed , * Ere the Pontiff had fled , and then- cause had betrayed . And each neichouring prince disapproved of the act , And their bloodhounds set forth to ensure him

      respect ; And thc walls have heen breached , and the legions advance , 'Ifealh the tricolour flag of Republican France . The tocsin is sounded , and the Heroes of Home To the barricades fly , and their cry still is , "Come I " "While their lawless invaders , with cannon and sword , And the bursting of bombs , plead the cause of the lord . Where is England , the home of the lord and the

      slave , Which the great , in their pride , term the " land of thebrave ?" Has her courage been queR'd , that the point of her sword " ¦ ¦ _ ' Is not red with the blood of the Galilean horde ? TTna she fallen thus low , that she dare not complain , Or is leagued with the monster-destroyers of men ; That her cannon no more from her batteries boom , While their silence decrees the destruction of Borne ?

      Her armies are idle , and her fleet s on the deep j Yet in silence she sits , like a giant asleep , When a stamp of her foot , or a wave of her hand , Or a word , would the bloodhounds of Europe command . Hot her nobles are slavish , and callous of heart , It were crime were they acting so godlike a part ; Then , God of the guiltless ! avert thou their doom , And pursue with thy wrath the destroyers of Home .

      CONGRATULATORY ODE TO THE FRENCH OX THEIR TRIUMPH AT ROME . Brave citizens of France , proclaim a fete , For you have laid the Roman Eagle low ; "With pomp and pageant , therefore , celebrate Your glorious triumph o er a stronger foe ; Stronger in cause—in justice and in right—A \ ast advantage ; hut availing not When matched against the more substantial might Of rifle-bullet , rocket , shell , and shot . By patriotic ardour long repell'd , Your warlike banner still ye dared advance ; lumbers and skill alone your hopes upheld , Tet "victory has crowned the brow of France ; Ion should exult , then , o ' er the prostrate free ; Yes , ye should glory o'er the-vanquished brave , As might the victors at Thermopylae

      Have held their orgies on the Spartan ' s grave . Oh , valiant Oudinot ! Courageous band , In whom Rome s awful walls awoke no dread—Those walls by freedom s living warriors mann'd , Andwatch'd by spirits of the mighty dead—Honour to you , ye brave ! From sire to son Your fame to latest ages handed down , Divide the glory of the Goth and Hun ; Share Alaric ' s and Attala s renown . Come , sing aloud the Marseillaise with glee , Tor tyranny hy Frenchmen ' s aid restored ; Raise ye the strain , "Mourirjnur lapatrie , " On having smitten patriots with the sword : Come , ye sincere republicans of France , Come forth , while crackers bounce and cannons boom , Around your tree of liberty to dance , And trample on the liberty of Rome . —Punch .

      J7te Work Of Theodore Purler. Published ...

      J 7 te Work of Theodore Purler . Published by J . Barker , "Worflcy , near Leeds ; and J . "Watson , London . We have before us ~ So . I . of the first cheap English reprint of the worts of tho celebrated American preacher , Theodoee Pabkee . We must see at least a larger portion of this publication before we can offer an opinion as to the principles of the author , and Ms talents asa -writer . ( From bear-say , we have reason for believing that flielatter are of a high order . ) For the present we confine ourselves to the following extracts from " The Introduction : "

      BELIGI 0 X . The bistory of the world shows clearly that Religion is the highest of all human concerns . Yet the greatest good is often subject to the worst abuse . The doctrines and ceremonies that icpvcsent * tbc popular religion at this time , offer a strange ming ling of truth and error . Theology is often confounded with relig ion ; men exhaust their strength in helieving , and have little reason to inquirewiih , or solid Piety to live by . It requires no prophet to see that what is properly taught and accepted as relig ion is no very divine thing ; not fitted to make the world purer , and man more worthy to live in it . In the popular Belief of the present , as of all time , there is something mutable also which is eternallthe

      and fleeting ; something y same . The former lies on thc surface , and all can see it ; the latter lies deep , and often escapes observation . Our theology is mainly based on the superficial and transient element . It stands hy the forbearance of the sceptic . They who rely on it , are alwavs in danger and always in dread . A doubt strongly put , shakes the pulpits of Xcw Eng land i and wakens the thunder of the churches;—the more reasonable the doubt , the greater is the alarm . Do men fear lest the mountains fall . Tradition is always uncertain . "Perhaps yes , perhaps no , " is all we can say of it . Yetitis made the basis of lie-Vqimu Authority istakenfot Truth , and not Truth for Authoritu . Belief is made the Substance of Religion ,

      as Authority its Sanction , and Tradition its Ground . The name of Infidel is applied to the best of men , the wisest , the most spiritual and heavenly of our toothers . The bad and the foolish naturally ask , If the name be deserved , what is the use of Religion , asgoodmenand wise men can be good and wise , heavenly and spiritual , without it ? The answer is plain—hut not to the blind . _ . _ Practical Reli g ion implies both a Sentiment and a life YYe honour a-phantdm which is neither life nor sentiment : Yes , " we have two-Spectres that often take the place of Religion with us . The one isa Shadow of the sentiment ; that is our creed , belief , theolosy , by whatever nameTre call it . The other is the Ghost of life ; this ism ceremonies , forms , devoutpractiass . ; . ^ act the part of Reli g ion , and we are called Christians because we assist at the show . ^ Real piety is

      expected of but few . Heisthe Christian that bows tothe Idol of-his Tribe , and sete up also a lesser , hut orthodox idol , in iis ° ™ . Den- . , JH ° f the Prophet is true of our reh gion—Its voice K not heard in the streets .: Our theology w full of confusion . xThey -who admit Reason to look upon it ccrnfoundthematter still more , for a gteatiovolution ofthougut alone can . set matters rights , , - Religion is separatedftom Iife ^ divorced from bed and board . - "We think to be reli gious without love forman , and pious with none for ; God ; or , which is the same thin " , that we can loye our neighbour ^ without helping him , and God without baying ah Idea of Him . The prevailing theology i ! p > esents God as a being whom a good man must hate ; Religion as something alien to our nature , which can only rise -as / Reason falls . A despair of man " pervades our theology . ^ ^ ^ TS-ha ' passes for Christianity in our times is not reasonable , no man pretends it . ft can only be

      J7te Work Of Theodore Purler. Published ...

      defended by forbidding a reasonable man to open his mouth . "We go from the street to the church . What a change . ' Reason and good sense , and manly energy , which do their work in the world , have here little to do ; their voice is not heard . The morality , however , is thc same in both places ; it has only laid off its working-dress , smoothed its face , put on its Sunday clothes . The popular religion is hostile to man ; tells us he is an outcast—not a child of God , but a spurious issue of the devil . He must not even pray in his own name . His duty is an impossible thin « :. 2 fo man can do it . He deserves nothing but damnation . Theology tells him that is all he is sure of . It teaches the doctrine of immortality ; but in sueh guise , that , if true , it is a misfortune to mankind . Its heaven is a place no man has a right to . "Would a good man willingly accept what is not his ?—pray for it ? This theology rests

      on a he . . Men have made it out of assumptions . The conclusions came from the premises ; but the premises were made for the sake of the conclusions . Each vouches for the other ' s truth . But what else will vouch for either ? The historical basis of popular doctrines , such as Depravity , Redemption , Resurrection , thc Incarnation ; is it formed of Facts or of No-Facts ? "Who shall tell us ? Do not the wise men look after these things ? One must needs blnsh for the patience of mankind . , But has religion only the bubble of . Tradition to rest on ; no other sanction than Authority ; no substance but Belief ? They know little of the matter who say it . Did Religion beg in with what we call Christianity ? "Were there no Saints before Peter ? Religion is the first thing man learned ; the last thing he will abandon . There is but one Rehgion , as one Ocean , thoug h we call it Faith in our church , and Infidelity out of our church . This worlc is neatly printed , and published in cheap weekly numbers .

      The Ethnological Journal.-—It Was Announ...

      The Ethnological Journal .- —It was announced in the April number of this journal that the work would appear in a quarterly form on the succeeding 1 st of July , but , it appears , that the first quarterl y number will not appeal ' until the 1 st of October next . Eegretting the postponement , we think it only fair to add the Editor ' s explanation . Mr . Burke says ; — "In preparing a continuation of the Papers on the Hebrew Chronology , it became necessary to institute a comparison between its dates and those of the primitive history of other ancient nations . This comparison graduall y led to a wider range of research than was originally

      contemplated ; but the results arrived at were so interesting and important , that it was found necessary to pursue the ' investigation , at all risks , np to a certain point , before again writing upon the subject . With the utmost anxiety to accomplish our task in time , it has been wholl y impossible to do so ; and to present our views in part would be extremely injudicious , for the ground wetread upon is intensely controversial , and many of the revelations we have to make so startling , that nothing short of an overwhehning proof will obtain for them the least toleration , out of the very small circle of unfettered minds . " Hence it was resolved to

      delay the publication of the next number until October . We trust that Mr . Burke will be well supported . The ori ginal talent he has already displayed entitles him "to our best wishes .

      Sunshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The Ninet...

      SUNSHINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . BV THOMAS MARTIN WHEELER , Late Secretary to the National Charter Associatio n and National Land Company .

      Chapter XVI . Nature imprints upon whate ' er we see , That has a life or heart in it—be free . The beasts are chartered—neither age nor force Can quell the love of freedom in the horse . Cans't thou , then , honoured with a Christian name , Ruy what is woman-born and feel no shame ? Trade in the blood of innocence , and plead Expedience as a warrant for the deed ? So may the wolf , whom famine has made bold , To quit the forest and invade the fold ; So may the ruffian , who , with ghostly glide , Dagger in hand , steals close to your bedside—Not he , but his emergence fore'd the door , He found it inconvenient to be poor . —Cowper .

      A few days saw Arthur duly installed in Mi " . Elkihson ' s counting-house , where his ability and readiness soon made him exceedingly useful , whilst his information and good temper made him a general favourite and a welcome guest not only at the table of Mr . and Mrs . Elkinson , but at many of the neighbouring merchants and planters ; his duties at Mr . Elkinson ' s were light and agreeable , and he was treated more like a brother than a dependant . Occasionall y bis duties called him into the interior of the island , and he had many opportunities , in visiting various plantations , of acquiring information respecting tne condition , domestic habits , and comparative happiness of the negro in his emancipated state , also of what it had been in his state of bondage , the result of which assured him that

      liberty had created a soul in the negro body ; that indolence and ignorance were being superseded by enterprise and intelligence ; that if their energies had fair play , their habits of industry , their adaptability to the climate , and then * system of brotherl y co-operation , would speedily render them proprietors of those islands which they had so long tilled as slaves , and the Black Republic of the New "World become , perhaps , as famous as the White . True , he heard complaints from , many proprietors that since then- emancipation they were lazy and would not work , and that their crops were spoiling for want of more hands ; but Arthur soon perceived that if the negro would not work it was because he was not properly remunerated for his toil , and he approved of their policy of light labour divided

      amongst all hands , lie found tnat there , as in Britain , the employers wanted to overwork the few in order to have a surplus of hands in the market , and thereby reduce the wages of the whole ; for this purpose , also , was the Hill Coolies Emigration scheme patronised not only by the resident planters , but by our great proprietors and legislators at home . This was a wily step to entrap the poor East Indian from bis native home , and cause him to work hard and cheaper than his Western brother , thus enabling them to buy free labour cheaper than they could hitherto breed slave labour , and reduce the independent negro labourer to the level of the British artisan , —a chained slave at the heels of capital , selling his life ' s blood at the lowest possible price , fearful even then lest his brother slave should

      undersell him , and famine or the Poor-Law bastiic be his lot . After experience in America fully convinced Arthur of the truth of these reflections . Deeply did he grieve at the mockery of a nation styling itself free , and yet retaining nearly three millions of its population in slavery ; but for a Republican government to sanction this , —for men boasting of their civilisation to defend its justice , — for ministers of reli g ion to connive at it , —for statesmen to enact laws to maintain it , was , to his imagination , such a monstrous anomaly that future generations would wonder , aye , would shudder at the very recital of its barbarous inconsistency . America , boasting of her tree and liberal institutions—boasting that liberty , banished from the Old World , had

      there found , not merely a place of refuge , a safe asylum , but a wide and generous home , that worshipped in stealth by many faithful heartsin all lands , there , and there only , was her generous regime fully established . Deeper reflection and further experience rather moderated these , feelings , and showed him that she could plead many circumstances in extenuation of her guilt , though none that could wipe away the indelible stain . The Republics of Old sanctioned and encouraged slavery ; Athens , the pride of Greece , with but 20 , 000 citizens , possessed 400 , 000 slaves ; Sparta , heroic Sparta , was still more disgraced by a similar policy ; Rome , at one period , was mistress of a horde of sixty million slaves . But those governments did not spring into existence like America , appealing to

      Heaven and earth that all men were equal , and tberefore equally entitled to freedom and happiness . Those nations did not , like America , emblazon their standard with equality—fight for it- ^ -die ' fdr it-and when finally and triumphantly victorious' retain in bondage a body of men , many of them "' sprung _ . from their own loins—many of them daring participators in their struggle for liberty—all of ; tnemrpeaceable and useful subjects .. He was , however , aware that a Briton should bethe' last tri reproach America with this crime , for it was Ehgland that planted this foul weed in the . otherwisefair-garden of American liberty ; it was one . of the : evil influences engendered by British misrule ; , it had-grown with their growth , and strengthened with their strength , iuntil it hall become . difficult , yea , dangerous ,- to

      hastily attempt its eradication . - ' . But"Arthur likewise saw that if the same systemv of commerce amj competition was continued 'in 'America , - which was bringing ruin on his own- land—if America continued madly to . rush towards the vortex-which was burying all thatiwasfi-eey manly , and ' national ,-in her parent country—then he saw that-the ! system of slavery would eradicate itself , for the avarice of the merchants and manufacturers would speedily . cu ' st cover that free labour , could . be : procured cheaper and better than slave labour , for the slave will not work unless he is well fed , but the free man thinks half a nical better than none ; and whehthings come to that result ( and thai they speedily must he felt convinced , for experience had shown him that in the West Indies free labour could be procured for

      Sunshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The Ninet...

      twenty-five per cent , less than was formerly paid for slave labour , ) then compulsory slavery would cease , and free-labour slavery , as in his native land , suppl y its place . Actively did he exert himself whilst there to aid the real democrats in averting this impending evil ; truthfully did he depict the barren supremacy it had established in England , heaping wealth upon the few , but misery and destitution upon the many ; with pain was he compelled to acknowledge that their very slaves were better off , more cheerful , more free from calamities , better provided for in sickness and in old age , than his brother operatives in the old country ; and that freedom purchased at the risk of sharing a British labourer ' s lot would be a curse and not a blessing to them . ( To be continued . )

      Irish Poems-Clarence Mangan. (From The D...

      IRISH POEMS-CLARENCE MANGAN . ( From the Dublin Irishman . ) In conjunction with many others of your correspondents , the writer of . this has to lament the premature and melancholy death of James Clarence Siangan , a man who , for many years , had filled a great portion of the public mind , with admiration of his genius , as well as grief for his misfortunes ; the first poet of Ireland in his day , and one of the most unhappy of her sons ; the sad career of this " child of song , " bringing to our minds a remembrance of the fate of a Chatterton , a Dermody , or a Burns , and many other unfortunate bards , whose gifts , though capable of giving delight to millions , could not confer happiness on the possessors . Clarence Mangan has fallen like many others , his latter days darkened by poverty and disease— " Nor could the muse defend

      her son . ' Alas 1 that such should so often be the destiny of the gentle bard . Genius alone , unregulated , and eccentric , cannot save them from the evils and distresses of life , or guard their course from the quicksands which environ them amidst the tide of passion . The works of Mangan should be all collected , and published , under the eye of some enlightened editor . They will form the most imperishable monument to his fame , ; an honour to Irish genius , and creditable to his country . T \ : e German Anthology , published a few years ago by Curry of Sackvilie street , consists of translations by Mangan , from the most celebrated poets of Germany ; but there are many more of his translations from the lays of the Fatlierland , scattered through the pages of the Dublin University Magazine , for a period of ten or

      twelve years . Mangan wrote many original and ad mirable articles , short poems , ballad poetry , and songs ; but his great glory is interwoven with his translations . As a translator he was inimitable , and in versions from the German surpassed all his cotemporaries . In every piece we perceive the perfection of art , and the hand of a master—harmonious versification—flowing numbers—a copious command of language—a wonderful mastery over words—a miraculous power of rhyme , without any apparent effort . But he was still perhaps greater and more at home in his metrical versions from the Irish bards . In this department he was , indeed , unrivalled and unapproachable , and his loss is irreparable . * * As an instance of the loss to Irish literature , by the death of Mangan , it may be here mentioned , that the

      late Bryan Geraghty . of Anglesea-street , a spirited and patriotic Irishman , whose loss is also much to be lamented , had a large collection of Irish poems , in course of preparation , to be versified by Mangan . The Irish , beautifully written , was to be given on one page , and the English version on the other . Mr . Geraghty was well known for many years as an eminentcollector of rare and curious works on Irish history , particularly ancient Irish MSS ., and , being an admirable penman , he transcribed many of them in the Irish characters , with great elegance and beauty . The last collection be had in course of preparation , was made for Patrick O'Higgins , Esq ., but the work was interrupted by the long political imprisonment of that gentleman ; and by the death of Mangan , as well as of Geraghty , within a short period of each

      other , theliterary world is deprived of the publication of these very curious and interesting compositions . The poems in course of preparation , were by many eminent bards , but chiefly those composed b y the bardic family of O'Higgins , celebrated in ancient times as literary men , and also as chiefs of note , holding large landed possessions inWestmeathand in Connaught . Many of them are mentioned in the Annals of ilie Four Masters ; and amongst the most curious notice of them , the following may be quoted ; as a remarkable instance of the real or supposed power of the bards , to kill an enemy by the power of satire . Some satirists , in ancient and modern times , are said to have caused their antagonists to commit suicide by the severity of their invectives , but the Mowing account is , perhaps , one of the most

      remarkable on record , of a man being killed by venomous verses . The affair relates to Sir John Stanley , ancestor of the Earls of Derby , who came to Ireland as Lord Deputy , in the reign of Henry V ., A . D . 1413 , and died suddenly at Ardee , in the year 1414 . He was a most cruel and tyrannical governor , and particularly hateful for his persecution of the priests and bards , whom he plundered and put to death , without mercy , whenever he got any of them into his hands . Amongst others he attacked the O'Higgins ' , and carried off their cattle from their lands , at the bill of Usnea « h , in Westmeath , a celebrated place in ancient times , and situated within a few miles of Mullingar , towards Atblone . The matter is thus in

      mentioned in the Annals of tm Four Masters the year 1414 : — " John Stanley came to Ireland as the King of England ' s Viceroy—a man whogave neither toleration uorfermcMi ( sanctuary ) toclergy , laitr , or literary men , but all with whom he came in c intact he subjected to cold , hardship , and famine ; and be it was who plundered Nial , the sons of Hugh O'Higgins , at Uisneagb—but Henry Daltoh plundered James Tuite , and the King ' s people , and gave to the : O'Higgins ' a cow in lieu of each cow of which they had been robbed , and afterwards escorted them into Connaught . The O'Higgins ' , on account of Nial , then satirised John Stanley , who lived only five weeks after the satirising , having died from the venom of their satires I "

      What a pity we have not a copy of the satire that killed John Stanley ! It must have surpassed anything done by Juvenal , and would be a powerful piece of artillery to fire off at a political antagonist . By directing public attention-to the subject in the patriotic pages of the - Irishman , the collection of poems above mentioned may yet be made available , and other Irish poems may be collected , and translated by efficient hands , under the patronage of enlig htened friends of Irish literature . —M .

      More Of The Irish Servility. A Brig Ht I...

      MORE OF THE IRISH SERVILITY . A brig ht idea has struck some of our imaginative patriots—for your " practical men" are all patriots par excellence . Palling back upon . a splendid precedent , they desire to rebaptise the town of Cove , and , of course , its haVbour , in honour of the Queen ' s visit . The geographical baby is to renounce the devil and all his works and pomps under the name and title of Queenstovm ! This kind of re-baptism was done before , and in honour of one of thc chastest , most temperate , and most moral monarchs that ever sat on the English throne—George the Fourth , of blessed memory . To gratify the vanity of this crowned and sceptred Saint ,. Dunleary was compelled to renounce its ancient Irish name , and to assume the flunkey-begotten one of Kingstown .

      Cove—geographical Cove—Cove , which is known to almost every mariner that has sailed on the great deep—Cove , which enjoys a world-wide reputation , and possesses a splendid individuality—Cove is to lose its name , and is to be christened Quccnsioim ! Shame ! Shame !! Shame !!! . . But what is the object in view ? ' How stupid must the projectors of this piece of gigantic , flunkeyism be , not to see that their excuse conveys a censure on the Queen and tho government of England . The object is , that Cove , as Queenstown ; may have some claim on the Queen . As Cove , it has none , although it is an Irish harbour , and although England and Ireland arc declared to be one by the Act of Union . This is the necessary inference to be drawn from the premises of your re-baptising

      wiseacres . What next will Irish servility conceive in its fecund brain ? Would they take a suggestion from . us ? With the help of heaven , the potatoes will he all right again , to gladden peer , peasant , and pig . Now , . would it not be a graceful compliment to her Majesty to sink the " Murphy" altogether , and rebaptise this national . production as the Victoria Tuber , the Guelph Soot , the Hanover Apple , or the Al & ert Pippin , ? This would be pretty- —eh ? . Then , there is that Irish gentleman—ho who , in bappier days , lived like a prince , and paid the rent —with veneration ^ -we mention the Pig . As there is so much in . a name , perhaps the . adoption of a more euphonious denomination in this individual instance mi ght-improve the 'flavour . of his bacon ?¦ What shallwe call him in honor of tlie Royal visit ? Let us see- ^ -what would you tlunk , ' gentlemen , of baptising him the ¦ Fi ' ncfsor 'Giraffej ¦ or the Royal IrisfcAntelope ? Pretty , isitnotT - a ;; ., ' :-. -- : J : ; : - ;'

      Really , the subject is a noble one ; and , as we think how . many , Irishmen and-women . would :, be ready to lay down their fine ofd . Trish names , at the Royal footstool , and rise up thorough Saxons in heart and soul , the vast ness of the sacrifices' which the Irish would be anxious to make , for- the better exhibition , of their loyalty , looms ; on ; , us ; like some giant object , confusing our senses , and scattering ourthoughts . ¦• .

      RENEWAL OF THE TEN HOURS AGITATION . On Thursday week a crowded meeting was held in the Free Trade Dull , Manchester , to renew the agitation on the Ten Hours Act . Tho Rev . W . itoxnxGDox took the chair , and after briefly opening the proceedings called upon the mover of the first resolution . =. ¦ Mi \ G . Johnson , of Ash ton , moved a resolution expressing the approval of the inhabitants of Manchester of the Ten Hours Act . Mr . P . Habgreaves seconded the motion . C . Hi » Di , EY , Esq ., M . P .: I am at the present moment in a very great predicament , because I refused my support to this resolution when I was asked for it in the committee room before the meeting . If you wish to know whether or not I am a supporter of the Ten Hours Bill I tell . you candidly that lam .

      ( Cheers . ) But if you want to know whether , in the words of this resolution , I am an enemy to any arrangement between masters and men I tell you frankly and honestly that I am nofc . ( Applause . ) I tell you that I think there is a disposition on the part of the masters to meet the men ; and I can tell you , you may bring forward bills and acts of parliament as long as you please , but until you agree to something that will meet the views of both sides , your endeavours will be useless . ( Cries of" Ten Hours , " "No compromise . " ) I am a Ten Hours man , ( Loud cheers . ) But I will not be a parrot—( laughter!—and merel y say , "Stick to the Ten Hours Bill , " when there is no Ten Hours Bill to stick to . You have not got a Ten Hours Bill ;

      Clarke ' s are working fifteen hours and twenty minutes ( Cries of " shame , " and " sixteen hours" ); and if you will disperse yourselves to-night and bring the Clarices down to ten hours before next Saturday you will have done more good than all the meetings ever held . ( Great cheering . ) Don ' t you see this , that every day you allow one master to work longer than another you are doing him great injustice ? If you look at your own interest do you think you will ever raise the wages till you equalise the time ? ( Cries of "No . " ) Do you wish to have the wages raised ? ( Cries of " Yes . " ) Then I tell you , whether you agree to have ten , eleven , or eight hours , the moment you have equalised the time I will assist you in getting up the wages . ( Loud

      cheers . ) I moved for leave to bring in a bill , last week , to get rid of tho . abominable shift system . I asked tho consent of the central shift committoo here , and they did not wish mo to do so ; and as I did not wish to make mischief , I withdrew tho motion , and the responsibility rests not with me . You may either continue to agitate and have , as I understand you intend to have , your fourteen meetings in Lancashire , and as many in Yorkshire , and endeavour to attain your object in that way ; or you may apply to parliament to have the kill altered , and the shift and relay system put down . You may take the opinion of Mr . Brothcrton , or you may adopt the advice of Lord Ashley . I tell you candidly I am a ten hours man ; but I should wish you

      to take the advice of Lord Ashley , as your most determined and most devoted friend in parliament—a man capable of judging , and who , I am sure , would not swerve from your interest for one moment . S . Fielden , Esq . ( son of the late Mr . John Ficlden ) was received with prolonged cheering , and said —Mr . Hindley has given you four propositions , which you have the option of taking : the first is to agitate . Ho recommends you to do that , and I recommend you to do it ; and a few such meetings as the present would soon put an end to the necessity for agitation . The next course was to apply to parliament ; but I have so little confidence in those who were our leaders in the House of Commons , that I should be very chary of trusting our cause in

      that house . Mr , Hindley s third proposition is that of Mr . Brotherton ' s , and , as he says , that gentleman is very cautious in what he says , for I could not make out at all what he meant by his letter . ( Laughter . ) Tho fourth course is that recommended by Lord Ashley . There seems to be some difficulty in getting to know what is Lord Ashley ' s opinion exactly ; therefore I tried to prevail upon Mr . Hindley to come back and state Lord Ashley ' s sentiments more fully , and to hear my answer to them . Mr , Hindley told me that Lord Ashley was willing to take , as a settlement of tho question , sixtyrone hours a week . Now , I recommend you not to take sixty-one hours a week . ( "No , no " and loud cheers . ) I have been asked for my views ,

      and I state them fearlessly . I am for no compromise , not one minute ; and that if you go for fiftyei g ht hours and one minute , I will not go with you ; I will never give you one minute . ( Cheers . ) Remember that this law has worked well , therefore there is no ground for altering it . H you will only be firm , and have a little perseverance and patience , I think you will be enabled to make such an impression upon the Home Secretary , that he will cither enforce the law as laid down at present , or procure such a definition of the law as will meet the objects you have in view . Until then you had better be quiet . That is my advice to you . ( Loud cheers . ) M . Paxion , a working man moved - " that this meeting , in the most solemn and decided terms ,

      express its disapprobation of the conduct of those millowners who are violating the law , and contemplate with alarm the effect which the conduct of certain magistrates must have upon the public mind , who openly sanction such breaches of tho law , in open defiance of the opinions of the law-magistrates and the Queen ' s Attorney-General and Solicitor-General , Pmxir Knight seconded the motion . Richard Oastler , Esq ., next came forward , and after expressing his gratification at the speech which the chairman had delivered , said—Mr , Hindley , if I mistake not , said we have no Ten Hours Act . Now , I maintain we have ; and if he will go into the House of Commons , and tell them there that the act which they assisted in passing as a Ten

      Hours Act is no longer the law of the land , they will call him to account . Mr . Hindley very gravely told you that he would never be a party to anything but a Ten Hours Bill , and he very coolly loft the the platform by advising you to take the ten-anda-half . ( Laughter . ) He positively declared he would never be a party to a Ten Hours Act , and , therefore , he must be opposed to you when he advises you to take ton-and-a-half . ( Hear , hear . ) But I know you never will . ( Cheers . ) I stand n ow in no dark insignificant out-of-the-way hole-and-corner place , I have not got into a paltry village to-ni ghtbut I am at the very centre and tho very focus of

      the opponents ot the Ten Hours Bill . I bid thornone and all—to meet me hero , to meet me , weak as I am , face to face , and to renew this question . ( Cheers . ) I am read y to answer for the hope that it is in me that if the Ten Hours Bill be changed , the laws of England are worthless . ( Cheers . ) [ Air . Oastler proceeded to speak at great length , adverting principally to the course of the past agitation . The motion was carried . A memorial to her Majesty was adopted , conveying the spirit . of the resolutions . - ¦ Several votes of thanks were also agreed to before the proceedings terminated .

      Names.—While We Possess So Great A Varie...

      Names . —While we possess so great a variet y of excellent Christian names , it is astonishing that so few should be in ordinary use . Thc common Eng-» sh dictionaries contain lists of about 250 male and 130 femalenames ; but out of these not more than about 20 or 30 for each sex can be called at all usual . Nearl y a moiety of males may be said to be cither Johns , or Williams , or Jameses , or Gooiwos or Henries , - or Thomases , or Richards . If , in audition to these , we enumerate the Fredericks , ihe Edwards the Josephs , thc Charleses , the Matthews , the Nicholases the Peters , the Phillips , the Stephens , the Roberts , thc Alfreds , and the Walter's nine-tenths of our " mankind" will be found unoYi the muster-roll , and only a tithe will remain to answer to tho loss usualbut often much more beau

      , - tiful and euphonious , names . If wc examine our female names we arrive at a very similar result Mary , Anne , Elizabeth , Eliza , Sarah , and Jano , are universal , while in the second rank , Catherine Emma , Frances , ( or Fanny ) , Hannah , Harriet Ellen , Lucy , Maria , Martha , Sophia , and two or three others , bear sway . The dread of singularity seems to be the principal motive for thus restricting our personal nomenclature . But why should we shrink from the use of such noble appellations as Alexander , Alban , Ambrose , Arthur , Bernard , Christopher , Clement , Edgar , Ethelbert , Gilbert , Gregory , Godfrey , Harold , Lawrence , Leonard , Michael , Marmaduke , Oliver , Paul , Ralph , Reginald .

      Roger , Roland , Sylvester , Theobald , Urban , Valentine , and Vincent , which have one or all of the attributes of euphony , of a good etymology , and of interesting historical associations ? And why , again , should we deny-to the gentler sex the graceful designations of A gnes , Agatha , Arabella , Beatrix , Bertha , Blanche , Cecilia , Dorothv , Edith , Gertrude , Gunhilda , Gundrada , Isabel , Julia , Leonora , Maud , Mildred , Philippa , Ursula , and Winifred ?

      mesmerism . What heavenly and earthly thing does a rainy day exercise the same influence over ? The sun and your boots , for it takes the shine out of both . Memory . —When the toils and fati gues of the day are over who does not love , occasionally , to indulge in a review of bygone years ? No toils , no perplexity attends it . It is an exercise we reserve for an idle hour . In summer , we may repose beneath the shade of a favourite tree , and whilst we recal the adventures of childhood , enjoy , at the seme

      time , the surrounding scenery . In winter , we may scat ourselves beside tho blazing hearth , and whilst we recount many a past deed , we can , at the same time , enjoy our fireside security and feci alive to thc present : but in this the mind is at ease ; no labour of the intellect , no . perplexity attends it . Memory is the most independent faculty of the human mind , because its office is simply to reproduce what reason has dictated and habit confirmed —whilst every other department of the mind is equally as dependent on memory for the exercise of its powers .

Here there -was a short pause ; but the undaunted querist returned to the charge , observing , "If you are neither a bachelor , - nor a married man , nor a widower , what in the world can you be !"— " If you must know , " said the other , " I ' m a divorced man !"

" Ay , there ' s the rub ; For it may be I shall not have the means To do . my duty to them all and leave My mortal reckoning , bequeathing merit ; Hence reasoning makes me pause , and show respect That dates celibacy a lengthy term : For how could I , chief party to a deed In which is promised , faithfully and true ,

      Melancholy Fate Of An Aeronaut.—Consider...

      Melancholy Fate of an Aeronaut . —Considerable anxiety prevailed in the vicinity of Cardiff and Swansea last week regarding the fate of an aeronaut named Green ( not Mr . Charles Green , of Vauxhall celebrity ) , who , it is feared , perished by falling into the sea after an ascent he had made in a balloon from the former town ( Cardiff ) on -Monday week last . Tho balloon was the property of Mi ' . Wadman , of Bristol , who had been announced to make the ascent , but throug h illness was prevented . Mr . Green undertook the trip , and departed from term firma about six o clock in the evening , a vast concourse of persons witnessing the ascent . Thc machine , which was of large dimensions , . containing 760 square yards of silk , and requiring " 70 , 000

      gallons of gas to inflate it , was perfectly sound and secure ; Mr . Wadman seeing to its efficiency before Mr . Green got into the car . Its course on leaving the earth was over . the town , in the direction of Penai'th , Mr . Green liberating a parachute with a cat attached to It as lie passed over . Soon after its course changed , the wind wafting the machine up the Bristol Channel'towards the MohlWaihshire moors , and was in the course of an hour "< 5 £ ' solCst sight of by the inhabitants of Cardiff . ¦ Thc / ncxt morning , about five o ' clock , the balloon ; was discovered at Wadmorc , in Somersetshire , lying upon the ground about three parts full of gas and not at all injured . No one was in it , but in the car a coat , . vnair -of-boots , and a pocket handkerchief were

      found . Inquiries have been made along that part of the coast after Mr ; ' Green , but not the least intelligence can be elicited of his fate . At dusk , on Monday evening , the coast-guard , -Mr . Clevenson , perceived a balloon- * crossing , the Severn from the direction of Cardiff . It-was close to the .-sea when first observed , and one party states that he saw it dragging thi'ough ' thoBoa , and suddenly ascend to a great altitude . This leads to a . supposition that Mr .-Greenjfindinghimself in the sea , , pulled off hi * boots and clothcs ,-aridr ? ab " audoned ; ithejhiillooii , endoavoui'ihg to save himself : > by swimming , but perished in the effort / ; - •"¦ " -r - ?
