      As we have already said , although no Bnonspartist * the forced restoration of the Bourbons was gaU and wormwood to Besakgeb , who mourned over the prostration of the tricolour and the exaltation of the white flag of _legitimacy- His sentiments on this subject are well shown in the foHowing verses , _aupposed to be addressed by a soldier of the BepnbHc and the Empire , to his veteran comrades —

      Alas ! the tricolour is now a dishonoured . flag . Hot the despotism of Napoleon , sot the perfidy of Xoms Philippe , coold make the nations lose fait > in the banner of revolntioiiary France ; that disgraceful consummation was reserved for the pretended Bepnblicans of 1848 . The Lamartines , Marrasfe , and _Cavaignacs , by their treason to the democratic cause , have damned the tricolour . They have not merely' dimmed its noble colours three / they have made the flag itself hateful to the _suffering _laillio-ia both at home and abroad . Under the

      Bepubnean tricolour of 1848 , the men who bj their valour and Wood made tha revolution , hire been swindled ont of its fruits , and given over to pro . _Ecriptionand massacre . Under that Sag , too , Poland has been abandoned , Italy betrayed , and the honour of Prance basely truckled away for the advantages _^) of the English alliance . The tricolour is _nowas obsolete as the colourless rag of worn-out Legitimacy . Henceforth for the democracy , the red flag is the symbol of struggle , the emblem of hope , and the presage of victory .

      We have not at hand , although we have sees , a more spirited translation than the following ,

      of—THE OLD BEGGAR . ( From _Toift Magazine , ) Here , in this ditch my bones I'll lay ; Weak , wearied , old , the world I leave , ' He ' s drank , ' the passing crowd will say : Tis well , for none will need to grieve . Some torn their scornful heads away , Same fling an alms in harrying by j—Haste— . " tis the village holiday ! The aged _btggas needs via help to die . Tet ! here , alone , of sheer old age I die ; for hanger slays not all : I hoped my mttery ' a elating page To fold within tome hospital . Bnt crowded think in each retreat , Great numbers now in misery lie , — At birth my cradle was the street ! As he was born tha aged wretch mutt die

      In youth , of workmen , o'er and o er I ' ve asked , ' Instruct me in your trade f 'Begone—our _buxkuts le not mors Tat « feep _*« n « _elrfl *—go beg I' thty said Te rich , who bade me toil for bread—Of bones yonr tables gave me store , Toar straw hM . oft _«* Mde my bed— . _ ' la death I lay no _cartea ' _at your dear-

      Thos poor , I might have turned to theft ;—Ne ! _bttttrstfUforalrattopray ! At most _rvafita-Jced somt tipple , left , To ripen near the pablio way . Tet weeks and weeks , ia _daagtoat laid la the Smg * s name thty let ma pine ; They stole tht only wealth I had , — Though poor aad old , tht sua at _ltast wat « i _«»( Wbat country has tha poor to claim f . What boots to me year corn and wins , Yonr busy toil , your vaunted fame The Seaata where yonr speakers thine t Once , when yonr _homet _. by war _o'trswept , Saw strangers battening en yonr land _. Like any puling fool , I wept I The aged wretch was nourished by their hand . Hankindl why trod yon not the worm

      Tha noxiois thing , beneath yoor heel t Ah I had yoa tsagbt aw to perform Due labour far the common weal ] Then , sheltered by the adverse wind , The worm and aat had learned to grow , — Ay—then I might have loved my kind ;—The aged beggar diss yonr bitter lot ! In this poem we are presented with a picture of the working of the Fystem so mnch landed by Thiers , Cousin , and the rest of the army of locusts who directed grape shot upon the workmen of Paris la the fatal days of Jane . With good reason may the labouring masses of all lands ask with the dying beggar , What conntry has the poor to claim t "

      Bebangbr is the poet of thesuffering millions . The people , * Bays he , 'that is my muse . # # When I speak of the peoplt , I mean the crowd—the mass—the very lowest , if yoa will . They may not appreciate the achievements of intellect , or therefined delicacies of taste : be it so ! Bnt for that very reason , authors are obliged to concave mow boldly , more grandly , in enter tq arrest tueii attention . Adapt therefore to their strong nature- both your subjects and their style of treatment : it ia neither abstract ideas nor figures which they require of you : show them the naked human heart . • • * " According to an inveterate habit , we still judge of the people with exceeding

      prejudice . They present themselves to us as * grots mats , incapable of elevated , generous , or tender impressions . Tet if poetry has a _reitiag-place is the world , it is , I firmly believe , in their ranks that yoa must go seek for it . But to find it , yon must first study this people . * Would that our authors set themselves seriously to labour for this crowd , so well prepared to receive the instruction which they need . In sympathising With them tbey would help to render them more moral and the more they added to their intelligence , the more would they extend the domain of genius aid of true glory . '

      The picture of the wandering beggar dying on the roadside , and with his last breath cursing the state of society which had made him a vagrant and doomed him to a dog ' s death , will be appropriately followed by the following city sketch of the wrongs of the peer : — JAMES . Bear James 11 do not wish To wafts yoa so sooa from sleep ; Bat tome liveried man Is hen , Who has caused th * neighbour ! to wsep-I fear , my hatband dear _. Ha has come to gather the rates ; Then rise np quickly , James , For the Sing's coHtetor waits .

      The morning Is shining and bright—Tis rarely yon sleep sa long ; And see ! ear neighbour ' s things ire soli , For the tyrant's power Is strong , And we are not able to pay * By onr war * , those _curstd rates , Bat wake from sleep , my hatband dear , For the King ' s collector waits Kotasousf and here ha is ! Hark ! how the watch-degt bay—Oh ! if the King could Walt for a month , We yet might be able to pay : Ask for one month ' s reprieve ,

      And we'll pay them all their rates-Then w akt from sleep , my _hutbtnd dear , For the King ' s collector waits , Ob , God , we ' re era-bed ty rates , And starved for want of bread , Though you work all day with yonr spade , And I with my _needl * and thread ; Bat if wt wonld work aUttigM We still oould not pay those rates—Gomel wakefrtun * l ** p , mj hatband dear , For the King's oolite tor waits . Sorrow Is plenty enough _.

      Bit meat Is wanting here ; We scarcely can gtt a plash of salt , The timet have become to dear ! Oh , James ! hew happy , we'd be Could we pay those cruel rates-Then wake from sleep , my husband dear , For the King ' s collector waits . Ton ara weak , aad a little wine Hew _ttrsngth to year frame will bring—Boat fear 1 I ttfll cart gtt yon soma By selling my _wtddiag-riag . , Courage 1 tome meroy may dwell In hit breast , though he oomet fer the rates—Then wake from sleep , my hatband -bar , For tks King ' s _coHtotor waits . 0 heavens ! yon are very pale ,

      Hy husband ! 0 speak again ! Last night you volt me yon felt unwell , And spoke of a IiagtrfngpaiB .

      The _aham-Bepublic of Lamartine , Marrast , and _Ctrsipic , _isstead ot abolishing , _hae aggravated the exactions of Soyalty , and , consequently , increased the _layering of the workmen ; _thtrefare the barricaffea of June were erected—therefore the Red Republic is inevitable .

A novel and daring aerial feat was attempted en Monday night , at Cremorae Gardens , in the shape ef an ascent of Mrs George Batty , the ' _Lion Queen , ' with a noble lion in the Royal Cremorne Balloon , f iloted by that daring aeronaut Lieatenant Gale , IN . The _annooBoetaent attracted a large eoneonrse of spectators , who , during tha process of inflation , evinced the most lively impatience . This operation having been completed , a den constructed expressly for the occasion , and formed ' of oak , braced and fcaned with iron , was 6 rougM en to the ground , and attached to the balloon in Ilea of tbe ear , by strong hshiisssnd eorde . the lieatenant standing on

      the top within the hoop at the neck of the balloon , _surroanded with ballast hags , grapnel and ether _instruments for a descent , while the lady was to occupy a seat on the back of her _empoguan _< fa voyage , attired In all tbe panoply of a glittering helmet , with flowing ostrich feathers , a shining suit of mail armour , asd silk fleshings . Tlie lion shortly arrived from the amphitheatre in tho Westminster road , attended by Mr William Batty aad Mr Geergo Batty , of whose splendid menagerie he ia a promiseat member . At about a quarter te six o ' clock , Lieat . Gaki called for the lien , for the purpose of weighing him with the den , and the noble animal having been introduced from the one cage into the otherthe Lieutenant gave the signal , aad the

      bal-, loon made a partial rise , ascending with some difficulty , while the lion appesj _^ perfecUy indifferent . On descending the Lieutenant threw away the . greater portion of his ballast , and Mra Batty entered the den and caressed her favourite , and all being in readiness , Lieatenant Gale palled the ' liberating iron , ' but the ascent was alow . The balleoa bad scarcely cleared the trees when the Lieutenant found that he had net sufficient power . He threw out _bal-i last , but it was of no avail ; and it waa perceptible to every one , that the machine _eoald not rise with the enormous weight affixed to it , abort

      _ninehnndred pounds . The lieutenant then addressed the spectators , stating these facts , and declared hia intention to go up with the lion alone . Mrs Batty then quitted the den , aad curtesyfng to the specta tors , left the ground amidst the plaudits of th * company . The preparations [ being ready , the signal wa * gives _, and away sailed the balloon , taking a south westerly direction , the wind blowing from the north east . The gallant Lieutenant descended ia perfect safety at Mortlake in Surrey . The ascent , it is said , wilt be repeated . These splendid gardens will shortly close , and we strongly recommend onr readers to take an early opportunity to visit them .

He snapped the trigger , bnt the musket not being primed did not go off . The workmen went their way , bat one , named Thomas , who wat a little behind , was ordered by the prisoner te go in tha contrary direction , Thomas took no notice , and followed his companions .
