      The Democratic Review Of British And For...

      THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN POLITICS , HISTORY AND LITERATURE . Edited by < x . JmiAS Hakney . June , London : J . Watson , 3 , Queen ' s Head Passage , Paternoster-row . This is No . 1 of the second _yolume of the Democratic Review . The articles are fewer bat more elaborate than . usual . The editor has devoted ten pages to a review of the "Conspiracy in France against Universal Suffrage , ' * and the Tactics and Programme of

      the _^ _Counter-Retolutionists . " The admirable defence of " Democracy , by Helen Macfar lane , in reply to Thomas Carlyle , is brought to a conclusion . " Two Tears of a Revolu . tion , " continued from the number for May , is followed by an article on one of _Mazzini' s recent works : " The Pope in the Nineteenth Century . " An address to the Democrats of Great Britain and Ireland , " concludes the contents of this number . We g ive the following extracts , taken from the first , third / and fifth articles .

      THB _PHESCH 15 D THEIR OPPRESSORS . . . The Trench are not necessarily bound to follow { heir old mode of warfare . _MosrACsUBEBr has proclaimed war against . the people , and has avowed that he holds < 3 l means of warfare justifiable . As champion ofthe Jesuits he acts up to the doctrine of that confederacy—that 'the end sanctifies the means . " So be it . That doctrine is as good for the people as their enemies . If the rich will attempt to subject the poor to slavery by means of fire and sword , it will be the right and duty of the poor to combat the rich with the torch and the p aniard . Months ago I predicted that in the next great straggle , the people would avoid , as far as possible , all conflict with tbe military instruments ofthe propertied classes , and wonld , instead , combat and strike down the directors and employers

      of those unhappy instruments ; events seem fast hastening to tlie fulfilment of my prediction . I said at the commencement of this letter , that the French peop le had to choose between slavery , and salvation through a sanguinary revolution . If the latter alternative is forced upon them they will accept it , rather than submit to be deprived of aU the / raits acquired hy themselves and their fathers in tiie straggles of the last sixty years . Reflecting on— The blood that has flowed , and that yet has to flow , It makes the heart ache ; aud it makes one ' s veins ran fire , remembering that this wholesale blood * spilling , und immense amount of human misery , have been the results of the eternal conspiracy of the privileged and propertied classes to keep the millions in political and social slavery . THB "FATHERS OP THE CBCBCH , " DEMOCRATIC

      SOCIALISTS . If the " Fathers of the Chnrch" were to rise from the dead , tbey wonld be fonnd in our ranksthey would be _Dt-mocrats . Demagogues , Socialists , Communists , Jacobins , Enemies of Order , of society , and of you . St . Ambrose says , in express terms , that " property is a usurpation . " St . Gregory the Great regards landed proprietors as so many assassins : "Let them know that the earth , from which they were created , is the common property of all men ; and that , therefore , the fruits of the earth belong indiscriminately to All . Those who make private property of the gift of God , pretend in vain to be innocent ! For , in thus retaining ihe subsistence of the poor , they are the murderers

      of those who die every day for want of it . " What an incendiary vagabond is this " Venerable Father J" St . John , called from his eloquence Chrysostomus , or _Goldenmontb , says : "Beheld the idea « e ought to have concerning rich and avaricious ' men . They are robbers who beset high-• _ways , strip travellers , and then board up the property 'of . others , in the _booses which are heir dens . " : St . Augustine- says on the ; subj ? ct of inheritance : "Beware of making , parental ' . affectum a pretext for the augmentation of yonr possessions—I keep my wealth for my children—vain excuse ! Your father kept it for yon , you keep it ' for yonr children , and they will keep it for theirs , and so on . Bat in this way no one St '' toil the

      would observe the la w of God ! " . . Great , in his Treatise de Avant . 21 , p . 328 , Parts ed ., 1633 , asks , " Who is a robber ? _£ ? -r > ° _appropriates to himself the things whichi belong to AUAr tthou notarobber _. thou whotekestforthyself the goods thou hast received from God for the purpose of distributing them to : others ? If he who steals a garment he called a robber , ought _artflw possessor of garments , who refrains from clothing the naked , to be called by the same name ? ibe bread thou bast stored belongs to him who is hungry : the garment thou keerest in reserve belongs Km who ' is naked ; the sandals thou hast ; lying by belongs to him who goes barefoot ; and the money thon hast hoarded-as if buried in the earth-belongs to him who has none / ' Louis Blanc is a very think ! with

      tame and moderate person ; I , compare the Commnnists I have just quoted . How comes it that you _soi-disont preachers of the gospel of Christ , never take these or similar extracts from the : . fathers of the Christian church , " as texts for your homilies ? I have frequently heard you quote from St . Augustus on predestination and grace , but yon preserve a mysterious silence regarding St . Angustine on property . It is because you neitherteacn the Christian idea _^ nor doyou live in it ; because you are a set of pitiable impostors . You do not even make a profession of those precepts of Fraternity taught by the Xszarean , and said by him to contain the true spirit of his relig ion . You wisely keep silence On such points , else—out of your own lying mouths —would you be convicted . THE _BOUBOEOIS-LIBEHAIS .

      In what a ridiculous position have the bourgeome Of this country lately placed themselves !_ In that trumpery " Conference" beld last month by _ t & e leaders ofthe middle class reformers , the selnsn , _ssetaran nature of themiddle elass movement came out in glaring colours . These " free trade and big loaf" fentry have been shamefully beaten on every measure they have introduced into the " Hospital ofliicnrables _, " this _session-yct they will j lo anything mber than coalesce with the proletarians _^ tbey have grievously wronged the working men of _Bajland , ilitrefore they fear Universal _^ ' _^ f * j _* _£ proletarian brothers , we have had too severe lessons as to the hypocritical nature of lom _^ f , _mamm Let tell

' " Superior Pyrotechny . this evening !"—only , the fireworks a _"e not forthcoming !! .

We hare here the first number of a . new monthly " Review of Theology , Politics ,. and _Literaturei" As regards both quantity and quality , this is an excellent twopenny-worth . From a ¦ well-written " Glance at the present state of Theology , " wo give the following extracts : —

      : TBE MAT MEETINGS . : This article , would be manifestly incomplete without a short survey of the . materials . for future campaigns , as developed at the annual meetings of the religious bodies during May . As usual , tlie whole month hasbeen absorbed with them , and pretty bard work it must have been for some of the partus who seem to be principals at all the meetings . : On the whole , tbey do not seem to have had this year the oneness or the concentration , formerly to be obi served . There seems to have reigned a despondency—an unspoken dread—among the promoters , Of something that might oOze out that would damage tiie collections . In fact , at two of these meetings—one presided oyer-by Lord Harrowby ,

      the other by Fox Maule—amendments were proposed , which it was considered advisable to decline to receive ; the chairmen seemingly having no hesitation to play the tyrant even for the brief space of a day .. The attempt to suppress free , speech at a public meeting , owing to the . _effieiency of the fourth estate ( the press ) , has been bruited far . and near _,, and doubtless . heard- ' with much grief by those friends of realreligion who , being honest and sincere themselves , - fancy ' their spiritual guides are equally disinterested-and who cannot conceive that there is ought to be blinked in their respective systems . Amiable confidence , it : is true , but we

      fear misplaced ; As regards infidelity , so called , if the statements made at the . meetings be true , and the parties ought fo know ,-it is in a very flourishing condition , and seems , by its progress , tobe an everlasting .. satire upon Christian efforts . Did their cause manifest the same steady advance , both as tb numbers and intelligence , tbey would detect at once the hand of God iu it . As it is , they detect only the disinclination of then * followers to have their hands dipped in their pockets so frequently . Bnt it may be the threat is only used as a sort of theological Frankenstein , by the instrumentality of . which their benighted followers seem to cash np freely enough .

      That very astute body , the Society for the Conversion ofthe Jews , it appears , have collected this year over £ 28 , 000 ; and , like Falstaffs item of bread to a butt qr two of sack , the result is twenty foreign converts—being only a cost of £ 1 , 400 each —which is duly recognised as the work of God . : * . ; * * - _»¦ ¦ . In fact , cash up is the alpha and omega of all these meetings . To call them annual discussions is a farce . They are , more properly speaking , . annual benefits ; princi p al performers , Messrs . Plumptre , Peto , and Cowan ,, who seem to be especially retained to do the starring work at each of the meetings—in fact , deduct the three and the meetings would be dumb .. It would be a knotty point for Colonel Sibthorp to decide the following query : How much , after printing 10 , 000 bibles , would there be left out of £ 28 , 000 to be shared among the officials of the Society for the Conversion ofthe Jews ? And those who glory in the economy observed in

      the production of this most holy and most necessary book must never lose sight of the fact that ! these relig ious societies have done more to reduce to the starvation point the wages of printers , bookbinders , folders , ana stitchers that all the individual competition of booksellers put together ; in fact , no grinding act oi oppression , intimidation , or chicaneay is too dirty to be by them performed — and all , forsooth , under the name of religion . For who , for the privilege of printing or binding Bibles , would mind existing on one meal a day , instead of three ? Or who would mind seeing his children perish day by day for want of food and fresh air , so that ho could but contribute to the spread of the Gosp & l at the antipodes , by the production and dissemination of cheap Bibles ? We can readily learn how many Bibles can be produced , but none can calculate how many tireless hearths accrue to the producers , or how many broken hearts they yearly cause . 1 . < :

      The meeting of the Church Missionary ¦ Society seems' to bave been — according to , the religious thermometer , the receipts—a takmg affair . It appears their subscriptions this year have exceeded £ 94 , 000 . But even in this society , which is comparatively a flourishing , concern , it could not be disguished that there was a palpable falling off in some of the most prolific sources of revenuenamelv , the regular . subscriptions ; for the great total arose mainly from legacies , which , from the spirit of intelligence now abroad , is Jikely to prove infnture years not so prolific as at present . , One society which , to the friends of peace at least , must appear anomalous , have also had "their _meetinff . with alive marquis in the chair . The Naval

      and Military Bible Society , if the statistics bo correct , have done tbeir share in pushing the staple article , the . Bible , * among the men of war .. Bnt really when we reflect on the morals ofthe military , they do not evidence that . the efforts made are very efiectual ; in fact , if the . society does not make the soldiers show up their'Bibles , as they do their bodies , to an inspector , at . stated periods , it would not exercise our imagination ¦ over much to . fancy they were in the habit of lig hting- ; their pipes witb the leaves instead of reading them . , ~ The total results of all the meetings , as far as Christianity is concerned , is anything ' but hopeful ; In spite of two millions of Bibles _^ and' twenty mil : lions of tracts , there is hardly one association clear of debt . - " - ' _.... ' .

      ¦ In the face of such facts as twenty , Jews , converted at the expense of £ 28 , 000 , or , as in the cas ? . Of the Christian Instruction Society , where 2 , 150 Christian propagandists visited 52 , 105 families with a result which , Sir fear of mistakes ,: we give in the words of the . repqrt read to _' ithe meeting , ; that "More than tiling individuals were believed to have become genuine converts to Christ , the greater part of whom bad been united to the Christisn church . " This sentence to men of the world would speak volumes , hut by the deafly beloved in the Lord , who with open mouth listened to the astounding result of thirty converts , with a staff of 2 , 000 : and upwards of preachers , it was received as thankfully as those most interested in the system could wish .

      ¦ _Keuakkable Diminution of Pauperism . —In the _^ reek ending the 18 th ult . , we have the pleasure of stating , there was a reduction in the daily ; average number of pauper inmates of the Birmingham workhouse as compared with ' the corresponding period bf last year , of 401 ; of children in the asylum a dim _i nution of ninety ; and of tramps admitted to the workhouse a reduction of 300 , making a total reduction in . the number of in-door . poor of . 797 ; and a similar comparison with respect to the out , door bauriers shows a diminu . tton .. of _4 o 2 C ; so that there were actually 5 , 323 fewer paupers receiving _rSSng the week in question than at the same period of last year .

      ¦ ; . THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S BILL . . . . ' . The following declaration , respecting the bill re _^ centiy introduced into the House of . Lords , for the reference of cases of alleged heresy and false doctrine to the . Bench of Bishops , ; will showihipw the Bishop of London ' s bill is regarded by a most influential portion of the clergy of the Established Church : — .,. ; . ' . . _¦ = : ; : "The undersigned clergy and laity of the Church of England having ' observed with much alarm tbat a bill has been introduced into the House bf Lords , giving the final decision in all cases of controversy as to the nature of tbe doctrine of the Church of

      England on any point of the Christian faith tothe Benchof . _Bishops—knowing also that this feeling is shared by many others in all parts of the kingdomand . . at . the same time being unwilling to cause unnecessary agitation inthe _chnrch by encouraging the preparation of petitions to . the . legislature ' on the subjectr-think it desirable , ' in a less public way , to calf the attention of members of the 'legislature to the matter , and to express to theni what they know to be the feelings _ora large body of the clergy and laity of our church respecting it ; and , among other objections to the proposed bill , the ? would observe , .

      1 . That they are at a loss to discern any sufficient reason tor _suoh a change as that proposed in the mode of deciding such controversies . 2 . "That the ' tribunal contemplated by the bill is open to the serious objection of being susceptible of miBu ' seforparty purposes , and of being made an instrument for affixing : private' interpretations to the standards . of the church ; and tbat its effect would be , that if , at any time , . a . bare majority of trie bench were disposed to mauitairi their _iview on any point to be the doctrine required to be held in the Church of England , the minority holding a- different view ( however numerous and weighty ) , with the whole body of the ,. clergy agreeing with them , ' would be placed ina . position , which would almost _necessitate their separation from the church .

      3 . That it is essential to the due administration of justice in such controversies , —which regard , ' not the abstract question of what is truth , but what the standards ofthe Church of England require to be maintained , —that { without excluding episcopal cooperation ) the adjudication of them should be entrusted to a court where there . are ' meh conversant with the duties of the office of judge , accustomed to neigh evidence with impartiality , and recognising the necessity of distinguishing between the claims of what nppears to them , as individuals , to be truth , and the requisitions of a tolerant church , —qualities

      which cannot reasonabl y be expected to be the distinguishing ' characteristics of the clergy . . , £ That the bill in question would introduce tbe serious evil of making the doctrine ofthe church entirely , dependent upon the variable interpretation which might be given to its standards by a maiority of , the bishops , whose decision upon any point would for the time be equivalent to an additional article of faith , though at . any subsequent period reversible by a similar body ; , Here follow the signatures of 317 clergymen and twenty-five lay members of the church . The list of signatures includes the deans of Manchester , Salisbury , and Bristol .

      THE LANCASHIRE AND CHESHJRE MINERS . . The county meeting of the Miners of these counties was held on Monday last , at . the Ram ' s Head , Radcliff-bridge , near Bury ; James Price was _unaniuiously called to the chair . Tbe new code of rules drawn up by the committee appointed to revise the present rules at the close of the last Conference were read and agreed to unanimously . The new rules provides that each district shall support its own victims , with the exception of those who may be discharged from their employment for going on a journey or deputation , at the instance of the county board or district meeting . A levy of one penny per week was ordered to be brought tb the next county meeting , for the purpose of defraying the expenses , of the organisation connected with those counties .

      Petition Parliament for Government Inspectors of Mines and . Collieries , and an Eight Hours Bill for all miners , old and young . ; " . ' , After other business of " a local nature bad been transacted , tbe meeting was adjourned to Monday , June 10 th , to be held at the Brown Cow , Shevington , near Wigan . _Hinoley _.-A meeting ofthe Miners of this place was held on Wednesday evening , May 29 thi in the large room at the Lord Nelson Inn ; the room was crowded with attentive hearers ' . ' Mr . T . _Gregson , one of the Miners' agents , having been called to the chair , the meeting was addressed by D . Swallow at great length , on the advantages ' _to ; be derived by the Miners uniting together in the bonds of

      brotherly love . The Miners' petition was read and adopted , and tho chairman was ordered to sign it on behalf of the meeting . It was agreed to form three lodges : one for Strangway ' _s men , at the Hand and Heart ; the other , two for Blundell ' s and AUburton ' 8 , ' at the Amberswood Tavern . This meeting was the best that has been held in Hindley for the last three years ; , it was enthusiastic , aud a good feeling pervaded all present . Meetings of Miners have also been held at Blackrod , Rose-bridge , Platt-bridge , and Mai _' tinmillbridge . ' The above meetings were addressed by H . Dennett-and James Price . There seems to be every prospect of getting the Miners of the above districts organised again . .

      The Smithfield Noisasck. — The Fate Of T...

      The Smithfield Noisasck . — The fate of the _Smiibfieid nuisance may be considered as sealed . iThe report ofthe commission appointed to inquire into the London markets is decisive on the subject ; and albeit the corporation members of that body-Sir J . Duke arid , Mr . Woods — have dissented and recorded aprotest against the conclusion of the majority , that focus of feculance , and cruelty , and crime , must be looked upon as in the course of speedy extirpation . It is not wonderful , however , that the corporation of . London should make a fight for the retention ofthe market in its present place , though the health and even tbe l ives ofthe inhabitants of tbe metropolis are hourly perilled b y tbe _proves of-infuriate cattle , goaded through the crowded streets of . this city , and their sense of

      decency and propriety momentarily shocked by scenes _ofruffiahisin and vice there enacted , seeing that tbe income derived from it is so large . The " clear gain" to the corporationis £ 5 , 000 a year ; and as corporations : have no conscience , it is easily credible tbat the whole of the metropolitan population would be permitted to perish rather than this body should forego its gripe upon that large sum of money . The facts elicited in ' the report are very curious as . well as instroctirei The ralue of live cattle _disposflil . of iu Smithfield market is about nine millions a year ; but it is a singular circumstance that there are fewer ofthe smaller animals—such as sheep , calves , and pigs—sold there now _. than there were at two periods of 120 and 150 years ago ; Our forefathers , like

      _the'r German ancestors , gave the preference to the smaller : meat—men of the present day prefer the larger and full grown animal . For the pound , of beef that was eaten at those periods - according to the returns — there arc three pounds eaten at this period . The increase of animals upon the whole , however , lias been enormous—say quadruple— in that time ; but yet the size of the market has teen very little increased—in fact , it is scarcely double . The suffering , the misery , and the loss consequent upon this want of accommodation can scarcely : be credited by persons unacquainted with the . facts as regards Siiiithfield . _r—Oiseri / _cr . . School Districts _uNnsn _tak Poor-Laws . —• On the 24 th ult . an Act of Parliament ( 13 Vic , cap . 11 ) became operative to make better provision for the contributions of unions and parishes in school districts to the common funds of the respective districts . By a former statute provision was made

      for the management of schools for infant poor by the _combination of unions and parishes into districts , and the expenses were to be paid , by such unions in the proportion of the averages' last declared , and by the parishes in proportion , of tlhe average expenditure .
