      The Democratic Review Of British And For...

      THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN POLITICS , HISTORY , AND LITERATURE . Edited by Cf . _Juliau _Far-vey _" . No . 1 , June . London ' : 5 , Wine-office Court , _Fleet-street The principles and objects of the Democratic Review hare been already set forth , in this journal , through the medium of the " Prospectus " wliich has appeared for some weeks past in our _adrertising columns . From the Editor's opening address " To the Working Classes" we select the following extracts : —

      THE _r-BESS . The aristocracy and lionrgeoisie who in this country have monopolised all property , political power , and social influence , hare added to their other usurpations , a monopoly ofthe Press . The Daily journals , without exception , are opposed to your interests . The "Weeklies—with a few exceptions , . -Stamped and "unstamped—are in the hands of commercial speculators , who , intent only on making profit , pander to popular degradation , by filling their Journals with accounts of murders , executions , and every description of crime , glowingly por-* trayed , to excite a . -vicious , morbid appetite . The Monthly and Quarterly Magazines and Reviews -are published for the entertainment of the " _reispectable , " " "superior classes" only—or to uphold class usurpations and fro down the cause of Justice . From the 24 th of February , 1818 , to the

      present hour , nine-tenths of the Newspapers ( Daily and "Weekly ) , Magazines , and Reviews , hare ¦ unceasingly misrepresented the revolutionary movements on the Continent , and calumniated the men -who as true Democrats , striving for Justice to all , lave taken part in those movements . Even the "liberal papers" hare not extended their liberality beyond patronising the betrayer Lamartine , and the butcher Caraignae . Stamped or -unstamped ,- I doubt if half-a-dozen lublications throughout England have had the _honesty to rindicate the Red Republicans , to defend such men as Barbes and Albert , Louis Blanc and Gaussidiere , and to take the part fully and fearlessly of thc Revolutionists of France , Germany , Hungary , and Italy . The secret of the bitter and unscrupulous hostility of the English press to the Teritabie _Rerolu--tionists , and sincere Reformers of the Continent , is to be found in the fact that that Press is the slave

      -01 Wealth , and Privilege , The work of a _^ Censor ship , without the odium attached thereto , is accomplished in this country by taxation , restrictire laws , corruption , and class-domination . 1 * * * Under this regime of eorrnpfiwi and fraud , profit is the grand oltject of speculators in _Newspapers , Magazines and Reviews . Hence the filthy and lying adrertisements of quacks and impostors , which crowd thc adrertising columns of the Journals . Hence the sickening accounts of royal rareeshows , and the routes and rerels of aristocratic flunkeydom . Hence the columns , the pages , deroted to the service of stock-jobbers , railway gamblers , and the rest ofthe race of money grubbers whose name is **• Iiegion . " Hence the total omission , or , worse

      still , the travesties of meetings , and proceedings of the poor and unprivileged classes . Hence the contempt , the scorn , andlies poured out upon Chartism , and the fiendish persecution waged against the advocates of Equal Rights , and Equal Laws . Hence the conspiracy to misrepresent the glorious Red Republicans and Communists of thc Continent , nnd the encouragement _giren to royal , aristocratic , and bourgeois assassins to wage a war of extermination against the champions of Equality , Freedom , and Justice . And , hence , my duty , — -the duty of every true man—to expose the falsehoods , refute the Calumnies , and lay bare the frauds of these worst enemies of mankind—a duty which will be zealously discharged by the contributors to the Democratic

      Jteuiew . The several political sections of the "higher orders" are represented by their party " Reviews . " The Conservatives hare their Quarterl y , the "Whigs their Edinburgh , and the " respectable" _Radicals tlieir Westminster Review . "Why should not Democracy be represented as well as Toryism , Tfliig-Liberalism , and Sham-Radicalism ? Why should not the " lower orders , " ( as you are insolently termed ) hare their " Review ?" lean _imaf-ine the contempt of aristocratic and "respectable" readers ( should any such chance to filance at this periodical ) , and can anticipate the

      sneers of the professional critics , at the very title oi thi 3 publication . Their contempt and sneers will be Still further excited at thc price charged for the _IteMocKAMc Review . _«« Threepence ! " " Can a respectable ' monthlv' issue from the press at such a price ? Impossible . " " It is true that the Democratic Retiew is published at one twenty-fourtli ofthe price charged for the Westminster , Edinburgh , and Quarterly . It is true it cannot compete in bulk and appearance with its aristocratic and " respectable " rivals . It is true tbat the serrices of the " eminent writers" who sell their souls to the proprietors of ths Six Shilling Reviews , cannot be commanded for

      The Democratic Review Of British And For...

      this semi But , my friends , for these deficiencies you will be compensated by the unbought labours ot men who have devoted their lives to the service ot Justice ; "Men who are bold enough to be honest , and honest enough to be bold ? ' writers who will at least give evidence of possessing the rare merit of proclaiming the truth and _defendinothe right , regardless of selfish considerations . The remainder of the article ( we liave quoted only a small portion ) , is in the same spirit , and is calculated to -win for the writer anything bnt favourable "Opinions of thePress . " The next article is an able Address by Mr . Walton * , "Tothe Trades of Great Britain and Ireland . " Then follows the first chapter of anew work , intended to be published by its author

      in the Democratic Review , on that question of questions—the Land . The author proposes to refute the "Labour " argument of Locke and Cobbett—the "Law" argument of _Paiet —and other arguments of the " best writers , * ' advanced in support of the right of private property in Land ; also , to show how such " ri ght" was really acquired ; how possession ofthe Land was obtained—how the people may possess it again—and how , by its resumption into the common fund , all taxation may be abolished . "The Elections in Prance " is the title of an article contributed b y a _Prench correspondent of the Review Prom this article we quote the following soulstirring sentences : —

      THE DEMOCRATIC AND SOCIAL BEPUBLIC . The progressive inarch of the Democratic and Social Republic will date from the elections ofthe 13 th of May . Henceforward it advances to certain ¦ victory . The rotes ofthe army have established between itself and the people a mutuality of interests , whieh it would be dangerous for auy ambitious power to attempt to break asunder . Tes ! the Democratic and Social Republic is assured , for the people and the army have consecrated it by the unanimity of their votes , whieh declare that there shall be no more impious wars between proletarian brethren , but that hatreds shall retire to their birth-place—the hearts of the privileged orders . A coup d ' etat on their part would serve only to accelerate the triumph ofthe democratic cause .

      In spite of shackles forged by the men of privi lege , France has recommenced her march of progress . Democrats of all countries , let us take courage ! Before long , the French Republic will complete its mission . The divine precepts of Jesus Christ will be made ihe basis of universal human happiness , and harmony will cleanse all hearts of hateful passions . Then it will be no longer necessary , as it is now , to say , " "Watch and be ready to repel by the sword . your oppressors , -while they attack you with instruments of death , " For the mission of man is not to massacre his brother man , but to love him , and to live with him in fraternity . An elaborate "Political and Historical

      Renew —domestic and foreign , from the pen of the Editor , includes in its subjects of comment the late faction-struggle on the " Navigation Laws ; " Mr . Dkummokd ' s "FinancialReform" motion ; the debates on " Prison Discipline , " the " Septennial Act , " and " Vote by Ballot ; " also the movements and meetings of the Chartists , " Reformers , "" & c . ; the state of Ireland , the annexation of the Punjaub , and the _riotsin Canada ; also the French Elections , the conflict between the kings and the people of Germany , the siege of Rome , the war in Hungary , & c , & c . From this article we extract the following : — '

      JHTEAu TO TIIE CHARTISTS . We observe with regret that Sir Joshua Walmsley and his friends persist in their sectional movement for partial reform . A great national movement will be impossible without' a oneness of aim , and that aim must include the rights , the interests , and the sympathies of the proletarians . The masses who have pledged tlieir faith to the Charter may not oppose the moderate reformers , but they certainly will not join them ; and most certainly the moderates themselves are not strong enough to achieve the objects they hare in riew , lacking the

      support ofthe working classes . To the proletarians we say : Up and work for yourselves 3 Be no longer the scoff of Europe . Show to the heroic democrats on the Continent that you too love Liberty and are resolved to establish the Rights of Man— " political and social . By your past labours , — by the hope you hare to see your children free , — by the sufferings of your persecuted advocates , — by the memories of those who have perished in your cause , — we adjure you to cast off your cowardly , criminal apathy , — we demand of you to rally and struggle once more for the

      enactment of THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER ' Under the head of " Literature , " lengthy reviews ( including very interesting extracts from tlie works reviewed ) , are given of _Pkentice's "Tour in the United States , " and Louis Blaxc ' s "Appeal to Honest People . " In the Letter from "A Proletarian Sufferer for the Charter" on " The Sheffield Election , " we

      recognise the hand of an old and valued friend . His letter is well worth the perusal of the Sheffield electors and non-electors . A most feeling , eloquent , _heai't-moving Letter from "Louis Blanc to the Heroic and Suffering Patriot , Akmaxd Barbes , " will , we venture to predict , be hig hly prized by the readers ofthe Democratic Review ; we select therefrom the following extracts , ( the writer is speaking ofthe Revolution of February : )—

      The sun of those great days will shire again . Ay , lei our enemies give the name of madness to rour enlightened magnanimity ; injustice , oppression , falsehood , and evil—these are the true madness . And they would have already discovered this , Were it po ssible for madness to recognise itself ; for what wretchedness can compare to theirs , who have with them but the army , and against tliera their conscience . Are they not in contbual dread of the possible outbreaks of poverty ? And amid the phantoms evoked by their terror , is there not one that for ever and ever appears before them , which seeks for bread , and finds but a musket . Is not to-morrow the word of our hope , thc word of their fear ?

      That which distinguishes our age from these which have preceded it , and gives it its "historical originality , is thc character of strength and univeisality which now marks doctrines that were formerly only held by a few thinkers , melancholy philosophers , unrecognised tribunes , or sects rapidly stifled , like the first Christians—the only true Christians ! The thinKcr , the _philosopher , the tribune , who , in the present day , represents the imperishable tradition of fraternal equality , is named , iu France—the people . ' To contain it , prisons are

      too narrow . Our triumph is certain . Oh , my dear Uarbes I did yon but know how doubly sweet and precious this conviction is rendered by the affection I feel for you ! I know that your Faith , professed in your sublime speech before the tribunal at Bourges , is to you a source of ineffable consolation , tbat it is that which raises you so far above the mass of mankind ; that it is that Faith whieh renders you invincible in suffering ; for God has fashioned you of the nature of heroes , of the nature of martyrs , and I know your heart .

      Forty closely-printed pages for- THREEPENCE ; the Democratic Review is cheap enough in all conscience . Of its merits we advise our readers to ( purchase this number and ) judge for themselves .

      The Progressionist . No . 2 . New Series . June . London : E . Ward , 5-t , Paternosterrow . THERE are some sound Chartist articles in this number of the Progressionist . The poetry is very much iu advance of what usually passes under that name . The spirited stanzas addressed " To the People , " in the first column of this page , we have extracted from this number of the Progressionist—a publication well entitled to the support of the working men , of-whose rights and interests it is the able and fearless champion .

      The Land Monopoly, The Suffering Aud Dem...

      The Land Monopoly , the Suffering aud Demoralisation caused by it ; and the Justice and Expediency of its abolition . By _Ebejjezer JONES . London : Charles Fox , Paternoster-row . The "Land Monopoly " is rapidly becoming the question of questions , and it is easy to see that ere _rerylong the aristocracy will have to face a movement , compared with "which all former popular movements will appear small indeed . In this pamphlet tho author argues , that " The people are dependent , the people beg the people are humiliated , the people are poor , the people starve — because the people are Landless . " Mr . E . _Joses shows that the Land

      Monopoly— asexisting in GreatBritam—prevents the cultivation of the Land proportionate to

      The Land Monopoly, The Suffering Aud Dem...

      the wants ofthe people , causing an insufficiency of agricultural production , and preventing the equitable distribution ofthat which is produced ; and further shows , that to terminate the Land Monopoly ( by declaring the Land national property , and giving compensation to the present landlords ) , would be both just and expedient . In the following paragraphs the author shows how the abolition of the Land Monopoly would accomplish

      THE "SMASCII > ATIO * f OF LABOUR . Every man or body of men , dissatisfied with the remuneration , or with the conditions of the remuneration , offered for their labour in the labour market , might be entitled to go to the national lard managers , and demand permission to locate themselves on their own share or shares of the land , to produce their own food , on the ground that the action of the labour market did not award it them on fair terms ; or even on the ground that they hare aright to do so if they clioose . This plan would not only secure for such Home Colonisers their share in exchange for the labour of _nrodi-mn

      put would also produce and maintain an equally just arrangement for all other labourers left in the labour market . For it is evident , that for the laUour market to retain any labourers , it would be obliged to raise the remuneration of their labour , and then- general treatment also , until they would be as well situated as if they were to avail themselves of their right to location on the land . Philanthropists have long seen and exposed the justice of fixing a minimum rate of wages ; this plan of unlimited Home Colonisation would at once establish a just one , free from thc evil of personal interference , self-regulating , and proportioned to the cost Of food .

      Let not malevolence exclaim , " who is to find the capital necessary for the location of such of these Home Colonists as should themselves possess rone , viz tlie food they would need until the production 0 "i _™ st cr ° P 5 » seed , tools , & c . " Thc funds expended in the support of pauperism would be sufficient-for the purpose , or would not be . If the first should be the case ; there is an end to the objection . If the second supposition should prove to be the correct one , or if the said funds should be discontinued to he raised , because this application of them would set thelabouringclasses free , not from the guidance , but from the despotism of capitalists , then must it be said , that such aid is due from society generally , and that society must be made to advance it as a loan . For had there been no laud monopoly , and every man had always been able to adhere to his share ofthe land , property would have

      been so diffused , that a man without capital , ( excepting the idle and extravagant , who must take the consequences of their conduct ) would not be to be found ; and , as the land monopoly has been created and kept up by society , the necessary eon * .-Een _sation to the victims of its consequences must be y society made . So long , however , as the land is held to be tho private property of a few , to the exclusion of the many , no such plan , nor any similar plan , can le adopted . There can be no way of guaranteeing to each industrious Englishman his interest in the soil he is born unto ; equitable distribution of English produce cannot be secured ;—and this country must still remain , glittering in its heights and pinnacles with untold riches and brilliancy , but within all poverty and pauperdom _, the wonder and disgrace of civilisation , the richest and wretchedesfc nation in Europe .

      This pamphlet will recommend itself to the friends of real reform ; it is hardly necessary to add , that we wish it an extensive circulation .

      The Boxapartks.—It May Bo Worth While He...

      The _Boxapartks . —It may bo worth while here to devote a few lines to them and their relationships . Itis , of course , known to every one that Napoleon Bonaparte was the second son of Charles-Marie Bonaparte ; that lie married—first , Josephine , by whom he had no issue ; second , Marie Louise of Austria , whose only child , the Due de _Reichstadt _, died in 1632 , at Vienna , when the right line of the Imperial family became extinct . Napoleon had four brothers—Joseph , his elder , Lueien , Louis , and Jerome ; and three sisters—Eliza , Pauline , and Caroline . Joseph , Kin" of Spain , left two daughters—Zenai'de and Charlotte—but no sons . Lueien , Prince of Canino , had no less than eleven children , five sons and six daughters , * of whom there are still

      living , Charles Napoleon , Prince of Canino , who married his cousin , Zenai'de , daughter and heiress of Joseph , by whom he has ton children—Louis Lueien , Pierre Napoleon , Antoine _, Charlotte ( married to Prince Gabrielli ) , Christine ( married to Lord Dudley Stuart ) , La * titia ( married to Mr . Thomas Wyse _) , Alexandrine ( married to Count Valentini ) . Constance ( now a nun ) , and Jeanne ( married to the Marquis Honorati ) . Louis , King of Holland , who married Queen Hortense , had three sons , Napoleon , Napoleon Louis , and Louis Napoleon—the only survivor and now- President of the French Republic . Jerome , King of "Westphalia , had two sons , Jerome Napoleon and Napoleon , and one daughter , Matildo , now Princess Demidoff . Of the sisters of Napoleon ,

      Eliza married Prince Felix Bacchiochi , and left * one daughter ( now married to Count Camerata ) . Pauline left no children , Caroline married Murat , King of Naples , and became the mother of the present Lueien Charles Murat , of La-titia ( married to Count Pepoli ) , and of Louise ( married to Count Rasponi ) . This is the entire Bonaparte family . Of the * brothers and sisters of the Emperor only Jerome now remains . Of the second generationhis nephews and nieces—there are fourteen "; and of the third generation there is a still more considerable number . As will be seen from the foregoing programme , Louis Napoleon is not the head of his family by order of his nature . By right of primogeniture all the descendants of Lueien would take precedence ef the heirs of Louis ; but , as is well

      known , Lueien was in disgrace when his imperious brother had the order of succession to his empire fixed—and lie and his descendants were excluded . How far this law , founded on a whim , is binding in sueh a new state of things as thc present is a question which the partisans ofthe family are beginning to ask themselves . Louis Napoleon is the only remaining male member of the families entitled by the laws of the Empire ( 28 Floreal , an . xii . and 5 Frimaire , an . xm . ) to the succession . The Prince of Canino , the real head of the house , has declared his intention of returning to France and entering the Chamber . Thc other princes of the family who are at present prominently before the public arc-Pierre , brother to Canino ; Napoleon , son of Jerome , late ambassador to Madrid ; and Lueien Murat . —Athenaum .

      Lord Brougham is Leah . —Tliere is a story current that some time since a whole army of " Lord Broughams , " executed in lead , and of colossal proportions , oisembarked in tho United States , and were drawn up on a public quay in two lines , resembling an avenue of Egyptian statues . The Custom nouse officers were lost in wonder at the sight of so many giants turning up their noses at Brother Jonathan , and inquired what the monster importation meant . " Statues of Lord Brougham , " replied the skipper ; " one for every city in the Union ; being the gift of his lordship ' s English admirers to the American Republic . " Lead , as such , is subject to a heavy import duty , but " works of art" are admitted free . What could the officers of Customs

      do ? They did not swallow the skipper ' s story , but they could not detain his statues ; and in a short time Lord Brougham was in the melting-pot , and - cast into bullets for the Mexicans . "—Builder . Bell Steam Gauge . —An ingenious application of electricity has been made by > lr . Arthur Dunn , by means of which signals are given that indicate tie pressure of steam in the boiler of an engine . Tubes being filled with mercury are made part ofa galvanic circuit—and connected with bells as the mercury rises from increasing pressure in the boiler the circuit is thus completed , and the bells respectively rung indicate the amount of pressure . In this way attention is called to the condition of the steam the moment it exceeds its ordinary and safe

      working condition . A Warning to Smokers . —A singular case of asphyxia is related in one of the French journals . AyouthofthcnameofLcmoine paid a visit to an uncle , who is a farm labourer in the neig hbourhood of Havre . This . man occupied a small and illventilated apartment . The nephew , at eight o ' clock in the evening , wcot to bed in * , ie room , _' Soon after , the uncle and some companions entered the room , and all fell to smoking . The youth was asleep . At midnight the risitors withdrew , and the uncle went to bed . Laying his hand upon his nephew , he found him unnaturally cold , and endeavoured to awake bim without effect . Help was called , some indications of life aT-pearcd , and a nhvsician directed operations for the recovery of the patient . All proved vain—the next day he expired A post-mortem examination was made , and the physician pronounced that he died of congestion of the brain , caused by the respiration of tobacco smoke during sleep . __ " _- .. _ .

      Homage to Woman . —Not among the bpartans was _marriage held in higher honour than among the people of stwah . Neither bachelor nor widower is allowed to dwell permanently within the walls , or remain on a visit after sunset . As soon as the young men reach a certain age , they are driven forth to build themselves dwellings in the suburbs ; and when a wife dies , sentence of expulsion is iorttiwith passed oh her disconsolate partner ; and lor this reason it is that on every side numerous houses exist , but especially towards tho north , where there is a regular quarter round the base ofthe second conical hill . —Adventures in the Libyan Desert , "No monopoly , " said a sun-beam dispersing a dew-drop that was hiding in the folds of a rose . Mr Fox Maule is remarkable for his head of hair . A witty wag in . describing it , says , imag ine the heads of four niggers multiplied by thc _tocJ-s oi three merino rams , and you will have a tolerable notion of it-

      With deathless minds , which leave where thoy hare past A path of light , my soul communion knew , Till from that glorious intercourse at last-As from a mine of magic store , I drew Words which were weapons , round my heart there grew , The adamantine armour of their power , And from my fancy wings of golden hue Sprang forth . Shelley . A . lapse of some months has taken place since Arthur Morton arrived at Birmingham , during which interval his leisure time has been devoted to the study of politics , with occasional attendance at the meetings , then almost nightly held . His shopmates , conscious ofhis abilitieshad often invited

      , him to address these public assemblages , but the inherent shyness of his nature had hitherto prevented his doing so . Meanwhile the political atmosphere was growing still more dense and clouded . The National Convention still continued its sittings in the metropolis , but their proceedings were not characterised by that unity of purpose which influenced those who had elected them . Oh ! it was a noble , a heart-inspiring sight , to see the myriads of working bees in all our vast hives of industry , abandoning all sectional pursuits , forgetting all minor subjects of rivalry , actuated by one mi g hty impulse , sacrificing their time , their talent , their hard-earned pittance , and , in many instances , their employment , tO one grand object—the

      regeneration of their country . Sueh union , such devotion , deserved , and would have ensured success , had their delegates in Convention been inspired by the same devoted self-sacrificing spirit . But the spirit of party and of class was fast gaining the ascendancy In that body ; composed of ill-assorted and hastily-combined materials , it had no coherency in it—all was rivalry and opposition . This rendered their proceedings a source of discord to their constituents ; spreading the evils of disunion from the centre to the remotest limits ofthe Confederacy , reducing their moral and physical stamina , until they fell an easy prey into the hands ofthe government . Let not our censure be too sweeping—great and noble spirits were there in that Assemblv . Men who were an ornament to that body , and to the class to which they belonged , but their influence was not sufficient to restrain the wild but honest ardour of the physical-force party on the one hand ,

      or the cupidity and _selfishness of many ofthe moralforce party on the other hand , The government , paralysed in the first instance , speedily regained assurance , and amidst its internal divisions , and the retirement of many of its members , the remnant of the Convention , distrusting tlieir position in the metropolis , resolved to entrench themselves among the physical-force men of Birmingham . But , alas for thc reputation of Birmingham ! it no longer suited the Whigs , nor the Whig press , to parade the numbers , organisation , and n . ilitary equipment of thy sons ; the p hantasmagoria had achieved its object , the conjurors were seated at the helm ; thoy needed not the illusion , so the spell was broken , the charm deprived of its power , and thou wast transformed from a military citadel , bristling with guns and bayonets , into thy ordinary quiet and peaceful position , novel again to regain thy warlike character .

      On the evening previous to the expected arrival ofthe Convention , a large mooting took place in the Bull Ring . Densely crowded was that vast area , the dim lights showing in dark perpective the eager and anxious countenances of thc assembled thousands . Speaker after speaker poured forth in angry invective , denunciatory of the middle-class leaders , who had betrayed and deserted them , and declared their fierce determination to dare the vengeance of the government , and rally round thc remnants of their delegates . There is something tragic even in the excited passions and feelings of one individual—but when these feelings , these passions , are communicated to the multitude by the electricity of eloquence , the scene is majestic and

      overpowering in the extreme . All sense of individuality is annihilated—the unit is lost in the mass —the solitary billow merged into thc raging ocean , which swells and foams as if in disdain ofthe laws which regulate its motion . So it is " with the multitude , when once heart hath spoken to heart , and the sympathy of mutual feeling and mutual indignation has linked the speaker to his hearers . Arthur Morton had been accommodated with a seat on the temporary platform . The spirit of the time and the hour was burning within his reins . A feeling of suffocation pervaded his frame . Unknowing " what he did , and scarce conscious of his own identity , he sprang to the centre at the close of one of the speakers' harangue , and , castins a _slanco of

      fire on the agitated aiid troubled mass of human beings below him , gave utterance to the pent-up feelings of years , anu poured forth such a torrent of fervid eloquence that the excited myriad ? before him were spell-bound with the potent charm . No longer swelled and roared that mighty living ocean . Motion itself seemed hushed , and the strained eyeballs glaring upon him , and the dense heavy silence which prevailed , were tho only visiblo signs ofthe working of the spell . A brief pause in the orator ' s burning words seemed to break the charm , the death-like silence quivered into voice , until the whole mass was redolent of sound . Again the voice of the orator falls upon their ears—hushed again is that stormy ocean . With the energy of inspiration , the speaker lays bare

      the miserable sophisms of the advocates of misrule , and laughs to scorn their bksphemous pica of ri g ht divine . The world ' s past history is thrown with lightning glance into his hearers' very hearts , and shown to be one red record of misery and crime wherever man ' s rights havo been kept in abeyance ; next his powerful eloquence vents itself " on thc treachery and deceit of those worshippers of the golden calf who would use the energies of his audience as the stepping-stone to their own advancement . Tho flimsy veil of their apparent co-operation is torn to shreds—tlie bitter mockery of thoir similarity of interest is laid bare with iron handtheir conventional hypocrisy is exposed in all its narrow and naked deformity , and earnestly and solemnly are they appealed to , to cast off all dependence upon others , to trust solely to tlieir own energies , and leave thc decision to the Ood of justice and the God of battle .

      The audience still listened in breathless silence , but the orator had ceased ; and while the echoes of their applause were still ringing in his ears , he was quietly treading : his way to his home , overcome by this unwonted excitement . No after speaker addressed the meeting . It would have been but of little avail . The hoarded eloquence of an embittered life , the hard experience of hunger aud of -want , had been lavished upon them , and all meaner food would have been rejected . Of all the varied gifts of man , the most powerful , the most fascinating , is tho magic of the tongue , whether breathing soft whispers to beauty ' s willing car , or commanding the wrapt attention of the listening senate—whether thundering in the pulpit , or pleading at the bar , its effects are alike potent . Would that its accents were only powerful in a right and just cause . ( To be continued . )

      Pauper Establisiimknts . —By an act which came into force on the 11 th May ( 12 th of Victoria , chap . 13 , ) provision is made for a more effectual regulation and control over the maintenance of poor persons in houses not being the workhouses of unions or parishes . The Poor Law Board is empowered to issue rules and regulations to houses where the poor are maintained under contract ; to prohibit the reception or retention of inmates ; to remove any officer , * to regulate contracts ; and ( by the seventh ) to order an inspection , by which a recurrence ofthe Tooting case , it is hoped , will be prevented . "And be it enacted , that the said commissioners may , if

      they shall think fit , appoint a person , either temporarily 01 ' permanently , to visit any such house or establishment , and to inspect the same and the poor persons received and maintained therein , and to make a report to such commissioners upon any visit and inspection ; and such person shall be paid by the guardians or overseers , as the caso may be , of the several unions or parishes from which poor persons shall-have been sent , ' and shall , at the time of such visitation , be maintained therein , such remuneration , as the said commissioners ' shall , by order under their seal , direct . " Justices may "visit houses , and the General Board of Health may appoint a superintending inspector for such establishments .

      The Stanfield Hall Murders. It Reference...

      THE _STANFIELD HALL MURDERS . It reference to the description ofthe finding of a blunderbuss , with which it is supposed Rush committed the murders at Stanfield Hall , Col . Oakes , thc chief constable of the Norfolk police , has addressed the following letter to several journals : — > " Having read in your jownal a communication from a Wymondham correspondent , which imputes blame to myself and tothe o & fcers under my command , for not having previously discovered the blunderbuss wliich has lately been found at the Potash-farm , I rely with confidenceonyour kindness to give insertion also to the _foilowieg short rcpfy " to it .

      " The general search which was carried on throughout the whole of this property , and up to the very gates of its form-yards , was essentially as your correspondent has described ; bu $ there * are circumstances in connexion with those farm-yards which require _explanation , inasmuch as * they presented difficulties which we had neither _iseans nor authority to surmount ; Tlie Potash Farm was in the occupation of Mr . James ttush , and not of hi _*» father . Up to a certain point all our operations had been greatly to his advantage . His ditches and his-fences had beeu trimmed and cleaned out ; his manunre had boen collected from various parts of the fiirniy and placed in convenient heaps for him , while those- previously formed had been turned . All this was

      materially to his benefit , and in all I consequently received his most ready concurrence ; but _unfortunately his interest did not require that his yard should be disturbed . His labourers were threshing in tho barn ; the waggons were passing over that yard to deposit the corn to be so threshed ; the cattle were turned into it , and were there fed . The whole of his business , with the exception of ploughing , seemed to be concentrated in that spot ; had I therefore , under sueh circumstances , made a forcible entry , upon this part ofthe premises , I should indeed have carried my research , as your correspondent says , to almost complete demolition . The manure collected in that yard had been frequently turned , as far as wc could reach it with forks , but

      tho enormous mass of which it was composed ( amounting to many hundred loads ) could not by possibility have been removed without resorting to means far beyond those which 1 had hitherto pos sessed ; but on the very day , the very moment after the prisonor Rush was committed for trial , I applied to the magistrates then assembkd at the Castle to furnish me with authority to keep possession of Potash Farm until my search could be completed . This I did for the express purpose of removing the manure and straw irom the _fiii'in-yard , and of taking down the several stacks which were yet standing . This authority the magistrates did not feel themselves empowered to give , and I consequently remained in my previous state of dependence on the will and pleasure of Mr . Hush . lie had

      already given me intimation that ho should no longer allow me or my officers to trespass upon his property ; but it was not until he named a certain day on which he should take legal steps to prevent it tliat I consented to withdraw , on his promising that nothing wliich was capable of concealing the objects of our search should be removed until previous notice had been given to the police . This condition was faithfully observed in regard to the stacks , and none were removed but in the presence ofthe police ; but the motivo for thc very sudden and unexpected removal of the manure I am inclined to think islnotcvcn yet before the public , which will at once explain the breach of our conditions in regard to it . It is briefly this * . —a memorandum

      had been found amongst tho papers ot Rush , indicating particular spots in thefarm-yard where a brown paper parcel containing papers and a pair of boots was concealed ( of course no mention was made of the blunderbuss , ) but in the search for this property it was discovered . " I think it right to apprise you that what has been described as a shed , was actually standing in the farm-yard , and was composed of nothing more than a few long wooden uprights , _supporting a canopy or roof , under which the cattle took shelter and were also fed . That I have been condemned for having done too much in the discharge of my late duty ! am aware , but to be censured for having done too little is what I could never have anticipated , _eyen from the malice of an enemy . " It . M . Oakks . "

      Another Proof of Rush ' s Guilt . —The following letter still further confirms the guilt of Rush : — " Sir : Knowing the anxiety ofthe public to ascertain all the particulars ofthe late murders in Norfolk , I beg to inform you that , having had my attention called to a letter iu the Daily News of Tuesday week , from Mr . Duncan , stating that a doublebarrelled blunderbuss had been found at Potash Farm , it occurred to me instantly that a man exactly answering Hush ' s description bought such a gun of me on the 13 th of July last ; and _feelin" : quite convinced that the gun found was that which 1 had sold , and feeling , further , that it was Rush who bought it , I immediately wrote to Sir J . Boileau on the subject , and described the gun exactly , and on the following day Col . Oakes brought the gun found at Potash lor me to see , and it turns out to be that which I sold . The person who bought it had a stick made for making _cartridges , and was shown

      the manner of making them , and waa also snpplied with slugs , flints , & e . Thc gun is a flint doublebarrelled bayonet blunderbuss . Feeling that this circumstance supplies tlie only link _wanting to complete the _chiiin ol" evidence , induces me to request the favour of insertion in your valuable journal . —I am , Sir , Ac , _Jonx W . P . Field , for Parker , Field , and Sons , gunmakers , 2 * 33 , High Holborn . —May 25 . Emily _Sandi-ord . —A weekly paper of Monday says : —" . This young woman , for whose aid a subscription has been collected , amounting to many hundred pounds , left Gravesend on Sunday with her child , the result of her intercourse with Rush , in the barque Casper . The Casper will remain at Plymouth for a few days , and thence proceed to Port Adelaide . Emily " Sandford lookeu * careworn and haggard , and evidently wished to avoid the gaze ol parties who had visited tho vessel for the purpose of taking a farewell of their relatives and friends . "

      Excounter With A Tigkr.—The Following Ex...

      _Excounter with a _Tigkr . —The following extraordinary tiger story is from the Grahams Town Journal . Tne adventure is said to have taken place Oil the 25 th Of March last : — "Mr . Charles Orj . cn has just returned from thc interior , after having had a most narrow escape from death in an encounter with a tiger that had been wounded . The furious animal leaped upon him , struck his gun and whip out of his hand with the first blow ofhis paws _? and wounded his head very severely with his teeth in several places . All the wounds on his head are on the scalp , except a severe one on his right temple , leaving a large scar , and a slight one on the forehead , just above tho nose . The flow of blood from those wounds prevented his seeing , as it ran into his eyes ; but , nevertheless , ho continued throw it

      to _srrapple with the animal , and finally to down and kneel upon it . During this struggle Mr . Orpen endeavoured to seize the tiger by the throat , but not succeeding in this he grasped it by the under jaw . Thus situated he continued for about half-an-liour struggling with the animal until at len < -th , gradually " relaxing its hold , it sank down _""mfdied from loss of blood . At thc same moment Mr . 0 ., unable to hold up any longer , fell fainting upon the savage beast . His hands and arms were shockingly mutilated—there being thirty-three wovmds on oue and twenty-five on the other . Many of the wounds are down to and even into tho bone . Some quite through the hand , and across veins , arteries , and nerves . Besides other wounds he was scratched in numerous places bythe animal ' s claws ,

      and his clothes were nearly torn from his back . The head audi skin ofthe tiger have been preserved , measuring nine feet from thc nose to tho tip of the tail . Mr . 0 . was laid up for two months and a half , often fainting from weakness . His wounds frequently bled afresh , the blood being so thin as to be almost colourless . At the time of this encounter Mr . Cumming ( his travelling companion ) lay ill of fever in hia waggon , Hc had , however , with him four Kaffirs , with assagais , one Hottentot with a _o-un and two dogs . The latter were useless , merely springing about and yelping , while the Kaffirs , throwing away their assagais , ran off at once . The Hottentot leaped into the river close by , and in a _frio-ht fired off . his gun in thc air . Mr . 0 . suffered _creatlybvtheioltingofthc waggon and thc want

      of proper medical assistance , lie is now gradually recovering , though it is feared hc will never recover the proper use ot his left hand .
