      BEAUTIES . OF BYRON . so . xns . ' " iHB SIEGE OF COMSIH . ' . ' We close onr notice of this poem with the follow io g extracts : —

      THE _BEHEGESS . On dun _CUhseroa ' s ridge appeals The g leam of twice ten thousand spears ; And downward tothe Isthmian plain , Trom share to shore of either mam , The tent is pitched , the crescent shines Along the Moslem ' s leaguering lines ; And the dusk Spain ' s bands advance Beneath each bearded pacha ' s glance ; And far and wide as eye can reach The turban'd cohorts throng the beach ; And there the Arab ' s camel kneels ,

      And there his steed the Tartar wheels ; The Turcoman hath left his herd The sabre round his loins to gird ; And there the volleying thunders pour , Till waves grow smoother to the roar . Ihe trench is dug , the cannon ' s breath Wings the far hissing globe of death ; Fast whirl the fragments from the wall , Which crumbles frith the ponderous ball ; And from that wall the foe replies , O ' er dusky plain and smoky skies , "With fires that answer fast and well , The summons of the IufideL

      THE _HOBROBS OF WAX . And he saw the lean dogs beneath the waU Hold o ' er the dead their carnival , Gorging and growling o ' er carcases and limb ; They were too husy to bark athim 1 from a . Tartar ' s skull they hai stripped the flesh , As ye peel the fig when ite fruit is fresh ; And _thefrwlutewsks crunched o ' er the whiter skull , As it slipped through their jaws , when their edge grew _dufl , - ¦ . - . ¦ " : ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ _¦ : _;' As they huily mumbled the bones of the dead , When they scarce could rise from the spot where they fed ; So well had they broken a Hneering fast

      "With those who had fallen for that night ' s repast . And Alp knew , by the turbans that roll'd on the sand , The foremost of these were the best of his band ; Crimson _' and green were the shawls of their wear , And eacn scalp had a _singlelong tuft of hair , AH the rest were shaven and hare . The scalps were in the wild dog ' s maw , Thehair was _tangledroundhisjaw ; But close hy the shore , on the edge ofthe gulf , There sat a vulture flapping a wolf , Whs had stolen from the Mils , hot kept away , Scared by the dogs , from the human prey ; Bot he seized on his share ofa steed that lay , Pjcfd by the birds , on the sands ofthe bay .

      THE ASSAULT . As the -wolves , that _headlong 50 Oft the stately bnfialo , Though with fiery eyes , and angry roar , And boofe that stamp , and horns that gore , He tramples on earth , or tosses on high The foremost , who rush on liis strength but to die Thus against die waH they went Thus the first werehaekwarahent ; Many a bosom , sheathed in brass , StrewM the earth like broken glass , _Shiver'd by the shot , that tore The ground whereon they moved no more ; „ Even as they fell , in files they lay , Like the mower ' s grass at the close of day , _"WhenHsworkisdoneonthe leveU'dplain ; Such was the fall of the foremost slain .

      As the spring tides , with heavy plash , Prom the cliffs invading dash Huge fragments , sapp'd by the ceaseless flow , Till white and thundering down they go , Like the avalanche ' s snow Ob the Alpine vales below ; Thus at length , ontbreathed and worn , Corinth ' s sons were downward borne By the long and oft rene w _* d Charge of the Moslem multitude . In firmness they stood , and in masses they fell , Heap'dby the host ofthe infidel . Trom the point of encomrtering blades to the hilt ,

      Sabres and swords with blood were gut ; Bnt the rampart is won , and the spoil begun , And all but the after carnage done . Shriller shrieks now mingling come From « ithiD the plunder'd dome : Hark to the haste of flying feet , That sp lash in the blood of the slippery street ; But here and there , where ' vantage ground 'Against the foe may still be found , Desperate groups , of twelve or ten , Make a pause , and turn again"With banded backs against the wall , Fiercely stand , or fighting fall .

      THE TAXL OF COBISTH . So near they came , the nearest stretch'd To grasp the spoil he almost reachM "When old Minotti ' s hand Touch'd with the torch the train—Tisfired ! Spire , vaults , the shrine , the spoil , the slain , The turban'd victors , the Christian band , An that of living or dead remain , Mxiri ' a oa high with the sMver'd fane , " In one wild roar expired ! The sha tter'd town—the walls thrown down The wave a moment backward bent—The hills that shake , although unrent , As if an earthquake pass'd The thousand shapeless things all driven la cloud and flame athwart the heaven , By that tremendous

      blast—Proclaim'd the desperate conflict o er On that too long afflicted shore . All the living things that heard . The deadly earth-shock disappeared : The wild birds flew ; the wild dogs fled , And howling left the uhb ' uried dead . The wolves _yell'd on the cavern'd hill Where echo roll'd in . thunder still ; The jackal ' s troop , in gather'd cry , Bay / _iirom afar complaiuingly _, With a mii'd and mournful sound , lake crying babe , and beaten hound : ¦ Vfitl sudden _tring , and rented breast , Tne eagle left his rociy -est , And mounted nearer to the sun , Tbe clouds beneath him seem'd so don ; Their smoke assail'd bis startled beak , And made Mm higher soar and shriek-Thus was Corinth lost and won .

      DOUGLAS _JEEROLD'S SHILLING MA . GA-. _ZLNE—FiBRDABT . London : Pttneh Office , 85 , Fleet-street . . "We consider this number of JerroW ' s Magazine to be inferior to most of its predecessors . This inferbrity is mainly the result of the absence of two of the principal features usual iu thispublicatien—the editor ' s story of " St . Giles and St . James , " and the excellent "History for Young England , " neither o f which are in the present number . The best of the contents ore , " The Confessions of an Old Picture , " and " Memoranda of Maturin . " The former of these is by Homes Mayhew , and is a capital satire upon the manufacturers of "Salvator Rosa ' s , " and

      other " productions of the great masters , " made up to gull" retired tripe-merchants , " aad similar knowing connoisseurs , including the commissioners of the _National Gallery . The " Memoranda , of Maturin " is a short bat very interesting sketch of iheehequered career of one of earth ' s noblest children , the author of _^ Bertrand , " "Woman , " and "Melmoth the Wanderer "—one ot Ireland ' s distinguished authors . WttLUM Howirr contributes No . 2 of his pleasant sketches of " English . Scenes aud Characters , " his subject being "Dick Redfern , the country wag . " _TJtevillagewitisalwaysa welcome , though sometimes a mischievous character . There are several other articles , most of them instructive and pleasing . We select our extracts , which we are compelled to cut

      down to the smallest possible compass , from * " Juniper Hedgehog ' s" excellent letter to his acquaintance " Ebenezer Prune , grocer and general dealer , of the town of Numskull . " The letter sets out by telling "Ebanezer" that his letter came safe to hand . " There was no fear of that . No letter that showed a man to be a fool , ever yet miscarried . " It appears that " Ebenezer" has been writing to " Juniper " in high spirits at the calling out of the militia . The _towa of _Koroskull , he avers , is " ripe for war . The mayor is very hot for glory , aud the mayoress and iter daughters dying to see the whole town in regimentals . " In reply to this , the philosophical cabman supposes—for the sake of his argument—Numskull to be the scene of actual conflict , and thus dis

      courses on THE BEAUTIES OF WAR . Let me see : we trill _begii-fabaut seren o ' clock in the morning . Tbe mayor is yet inhis bed , lying on his back ,

      twiddling his : thumbs , - _aad ' e _* untittg _? bver * his " firbier Whiz—bangr-craah _^ A shell—fired , by the Yankee Wholehog artillery—( they landed ' last ni ght from the _CutjaowiiT _Pennsylvanun'lte _gBte)—falls through' the _roo ? - _^ throngb floor and floor- _^ _earries away ;" nerer minding the inaypress > screaiiiB , half the state tester , leaving the mayor and his wife unhurt , —but still falling throngb _dining-rosm and parlonr , —and intent ' upon doing its worst , descending into the cellar ; and finally _dropping into . a pipe of the very best' bee ' s-wing port ; just going to be bottled . Sow , this bomb well _sappose to be the first sugar-plum of war .

      The mayor jumps ont of bed , _i thinking of his moneybox , his plate , bis bonds , his pipe of port , and his wife and daughter's . The lady mayoress screams like—no , I can't think of nothing stronger—like a woman ! And then her five daughters , ' all in their bed-gowns and curlpapers , _rushingia , scream ; too , - to ' show the teuderness and the weakness of their womanhood . Now , Ebenezer , arn't all these creatures pretty hypocrites f I mean what I say—and I'll prove it Bless their little satisfied sauIs ! how they do love the military , to he sure I What a beautiful thing is a review to ' em—isn ' t it ! And how they'll smile upon cannonballs as if they were things to eat—and how they'll "wink their precious eyes in the breast-plates of the

      dear officers , ' more than if they stared in their own looking-glasses I And then , in their little puffed-np hearts , they think no more ofa man than of a barn-door fowl , if he isn't a soldier . But only put a feather ia his capred cloth and gold Iaee on his body—roll him tight round with a sash ( the babe of glory . )—and let a long sword dangle by bis side _^ -and to woman ' s heart , what a dear peacock fhe sweet fellow is I She could follow him all over the world ; his feathers are so fine , and he does strut so beautifully ! And in this way , Ebenezer , do women again and again make themselves parties to war and wickedness ! In their hearts , tobe sure , they don't mean it . They'll faint , some of ' em , to see a cut finger ; bnt then a renew only shows the frippery of war—without the Wood . The music's beautiful , and there ' s no call

      then for lint . Well , the mayor , and his wife and daughters , are all embracing one another in tbe bed-room , when bang comes another shell , and blows away Maria and Louisa ( youns pretty things , that never did harm to anybody ) into the next world . . Bang—bang—fall the shells ! Crash goes tbe house , arid the mayorand his wife , and three daughters , scramble down stairs , and hide in the cellar . ' . .. ; .. Mow , Mr . Mayor , was a great man for war , and all Its glory . Yes ! when full of his best port , he would give his favourite toast—'' A speedy war and soon 1 " And wherefore ? The purple-faced old ass knew nothing of war bnt its _eutside finely . The regimental band , tbe fifes and drums , made him feel as strong as Sampson—but then he'd never had bomb-shells drop through bis house ,

      and hi * helpless children _slaughtered under his eyes . How very differently does he now—squatted low , like a toadstool in his cellar—think of war ! How does he groan , and shake , and in his _^ misery tear his ' grey hair , as be hears the bell of war " roaring about him—and listens to the yells and shouts of men , like devils eseaped from the horning pit , to work destruction ! And . now—bang —¦ bang—bis house is buret open—half tiie regiment of the Fedttsylvanian rifles fleck in—Pillage , Pillage is the cry—they tear from room- to _room—thay descend into the cellar—they stave in pipes and hogsheads—they seize the mayor ' s three daughters—and ( could he erer bave thought it ?) now is he grateful that Maria aad Louisa , in sudden death , _raetabetter fate . -Wei , the poor mayor makes a rash atone of the heroes , when his brains are knocked ont by the butt-end of a musket , and fhe "glory" continues . . ! >

      Let me hear no more of your , _cock-a-doodle-do-ing about the splendour of war , and the grandeur of the militia . . . If yon want to punish . your fellow-creatures , arn't you a grocer and a general dealer , and can't yon be satisfied f There ' s short-weight , adulteration , passing off bad money , —fifty ways for yon to delight tbe devil with ; but don't treat him to the morsel of all that he best loveswar— wicked , stupid war !

      THE FAMILY HERALD—PabtXXXIJJ . London : G . Biggs , 421 , Strand . We gladly welcome another Part of this excellent publication , which , as it increases in age , seems * to improve in quality , which is more than can be said for many works of far higher pretensions . We have not time ourselves to read romances , but we are acquainted with those who do , and who hare assured us that the romance matter contained in the Family Herald is so plentiful and so good as to leave them neither time nor inclination to patronise the . circulating library ; they find the purpose o f such a library fully answered by the contents of the Family Herald . As soon as we get _a' Part * of the" Herald we first read

      all the " Notices to Correspondents , " in which we are sure to find a considerable amount of wit and humour , particularly in the answers to love-sick ladies , many of whom consult the oracle of th . il publication . We next read ali the editorial articles , and serer without deriving intellectual pleasure and profit therefrom . These articles should be studied , by all who aspire to be "thinkers . " A brick from" the rubbish of tke ruins of Babylon could scarcely afford a more ' unsatisfactory specimen ofthe once mighty city than can any extract we can make room for , give an idea of the writings of the editor ; we will _nerertheless extract from one of the said articles the following anecdotes of - ' " " _"* - ¦ - "' '

      NOETHCOTE AND SOltEKENS . - , Xorthcote , the painter , was a . real boor , and his taste , for the beautiful and poetical in form and proportion did not improve the moral character of his mind . ' He was penurious , ill-natured , selfish and eonceited . He . was never in love ; he regarded women as mere wasters of money . This , we are sure , will enlist all the ladies against him . Still he was noble in his independence . One day the Duke of Clarence , when sitting to him , took hold of his morniBg gown and said , " _Northcete , you don't devote ranch time te the toilette V " , " said _yorthcote , " I never allow any " one to take personal liberties with me ; yon are the first who ever presumed to do so , and I beg your Royal Highness to recollect that I am in my ownhouse . "

      2 fo conrtier would have behaved in this manner—it was too spirited for such a gentleman . The Duke made a handsome apology , and used to speak of KOTtUCQte ai a « _g _ - —_ _nonest fellow . " But whether honesty he one of the attributes of 3 finished gentleman or not * , we must leave to the determination of posterity , or any one else who can settle the point ., Koliekens , the sculptor , was also a boor whom art refused to polish , though himself a polisher . It it said of him that he preferred the society of the rude aud uncultivated , and used to sing snatches and catches , and mimic the London cries over pints of porter in the public houses . He was particularly fond of music , but it did not lead him into the society of the elegant ; [ and yet he

      had it in his power to move in the most refined circles . Dr . Johnson , who was a boor himself , was naturally enough partial to him , but to all other educated and polished men he was particularly disagieeable . Yet he was a good soul notwithstanding . Though parsimonious in reference to himself , he was generous to others . To his nurse , who kept his house after his wife ' s death , he would say , " I cannot sleep , I cannot rest . Is there any person I know who would be the betterfora little money ?" And he gave away money freely , in large sums , to relieve tbe distressed and aid the honest poor . This was one ofthe sworn duties of the knights of old ; it was the boast aud glory of chivalry to deny itself , that it might relieve the distressed .

      Besides an immense mass of miscellaneous matter , we notice useful and interesting articles on'"The Teeth , " " The Opera and the Ballet , " & c . Ac . ; and some very good poetry , original and selected . A penny a week laid out iu purchasing the Family Herald , will be a penny well expended .

      Fllrtpictorial Histopvt Of America From ...

      fllrTPICTORIAL HISTOPvT OF AMERICA FROM ITS DISCOVERY BY THE NORTHMEN , TO THE PRESENT TIME . By John Frost , A . M . —London : _IVilloughby and Co ., 86 , , _Alucrsgate-strcet . A history o f America for "the people , " is a desideratum which , if well executed , cannot be too highly extolled . England claims thirparentage of the great Republic , which already competes with tke oldest and mightiest of European states , and which Republic can hardly fail to advance in power and greatness UHtil the whole continent will acknowledge

      her laws , or at least bow to her influence . As Englishmen , we shall always remember that the Americans ofthe United States ' are our brethren , and that every triumph achieved by them , if achieved in a good cause , we , to some extent , share the glory of . The two nations are united by ties o f blood , and the past history , present state , and future progress of each must be interesting to the other . The history before ns will , if we mistake not ; embrace not merely that of the United States , but of the entire continent . We have looked through the first part of this work , and , so far as we hare seen it , must award to it our sincere approbation .

      In saying this we must be allowed also to say that we regret . two things—first , the want of an introductory chapter , giving the author ' s ideas , together with a condensation of the ideas of other writers on the subject of the origin of the American Indians , and their history during the ages preceding the discovery of the continent both by Columbus , and by the . Northmen . It may be said that such an investigation must be purely speculative , whereas history should be a record of facts . Of course " facts " should form the main portion of all histories , but mere " facts" without theory , however speculative , is bnt

      dry reading , and will scarcely make thinners . Poet _ry , theory , speculation , have made more deep thinkers than all the records of mere "facts , " however trustworthy . Second , we regret that the exploits of _Cou-mrca are not told at greater length . The barbarous doings of those ' military _ruffiaus Cortes and Pizauro , and tke other less distinguished though equally cruel and avaricious Christian cut-throats , we object not to see condensed into any reasonable compass ; but Columbus was a man of a different stamp ; one of the few " great" names really worthy of immortality . Had the rest of . the _discererers of

      Fllrtpictorial Histopvt Of America From ...

      America been actuated by" hii _" n 6 bl « r and philanthropic spirit , how much of blood and tears shed would never _Juwe . flowed ; how much of _» suffering would haw been spared to the new world , and ' of infamy tothe old ! * * ¦ _*" ' _'"'• ' ' " ¦ •¦«* ' •*> _•*•*• _**••'• : •• ¦>¦ " - ' • ¦ * , < On the other hand , we are glad to see justico done in this work to thc brave Northmen , who undoubtedly first discovered the American continent . All people know that Columbus _discovered' America , " but . it is only the \ few who know that there had been disceverers , and _eyeu colonists ; some centuries before the time of the great Columbus . The honour of making the Western continent effectively known unquestionably belongs to Columbus . "From his glorxas the great discoverer , it would beuniust in ¦

      the slightest degree to detract . " . But the claim to a prior discovery , urged in f avour of the Northmen , and never relinquished by the Icelandic scholars , has recently been revived by the-Royal Sooiety ol Antiquaries atCopenhagea , and supported by , such a weight ' of testimony , as to leave no reasonable doubt that the first discoverers were our Scandinavian brothersof Norway ; Iceland , & c . It was not till the 3 rd of August , 1492 , thatthe expedition under Columbus set sail fromthe shores of Spain ; but there is good reason to believe that as far back as the year 986 , Amer ica'was discovered by Biarxh , the Icelander . Other discoverers followed in his track , and a colony of Icelanders and Norwegians was esta

      blished on tke American coast . ' Itis , indeed , capable of proof , that Professor _Fiwr Magxussen , a native of Iceland , now resident at Copenhagen , one of the most distinguished . Icelandic scholars of the day , and the immortal sculptor _Thob-Waldsen , recently deceased , are descended from one of the most celebrated of the brave adventurers who first explored at least a portion of thc American continent . The first chapter of this work , details these discoveries , and will be found hi g hly interesting . This fforkis published in weekly penny numbers , and sixpenny parts . It is profusely embellished with highly finished and beautiful engravings and is just such a work as we can most , heartily recommend to our readers .

      Annual Banquet Of Tue German Democratic ...

      ANNUAL BANQUET OF TUE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY . FOR THE EDUCATION OF TIIE WORKING . CLASSES . [ DIE DEUTSCHE _BiLDUNGS-GESELLSCIIAPT FUR '• _*'•' ' ARBEITER . 1

      There exists in London a society which deserves to bo better known to the readers of the Northern Star than hitherto it has been . ; The name of the society is given above ; its origin jviH * be found described in the speech of the chairman ; enough that we here state that it dates the commencement of its existence so fer back as the 7 th of February , 18 i 0 . It was commenced by a very few working men , in the midst of most disheartening obstacles , chiefly the result ol the failure of the " national Germanic movement , " ofthe years 1830-1-2-3-4 . -. Theignorauce ef the great mass of the people had . done more to ruin the " national Germanic mbY 6 men . t , " , than even the force and terrorism directed " against it by the German desnOts : hence the founders of thenew society argued

      that if they would command success they must first take steps to illumine the minds of the working men , and thus render thVm independent of chiefs , and indestructible tothe assaults of tyrants . Dismay , doubt , and apathy pervaded the broken ranks of the Germanic emigration , at the period that this society commenced ; but , thanks to the energy and unconquerable perseverance of its f ounders , aided by the equally emcH _* _-ht " _zeaTof " each " hew member , the society has grown , from the acorn to the young oak , not yet at its maturity , but continually growing . ; A large number o f the German working men residing in London are now members' of this' society . The usual meetings of the body are holden at the Red Lion , Great Windmill-street , the large-room ., of f

      which is , however , ar too . small for the meetings Ofthe members . The ' society has a reading room , supplied with ten riewspapere , G _* nnan , French , and English ; a library , containing five hundred volumes , maps , globes , and other scientific apparatus , musical instruments , & c . Lectures on astronomy , history , geography , & c _:, & e ., are regularly delivered . Classes exist for the instruction' of the members in singing , drawing , languages , die . " Weekly meetings are holden for the discussion of political ; and social principles . We may , also add , that every alternate Sunday evening , at six o ' clock , ;' aI-few of the members , together with a few English ; French , and othe _? democrats , meet for the purpose . of conversing on . political subjects , and mutual information concerning

      the progress of their principles in tlie several countries of which they are natives . The great principle o f the society is Communism ; it is- almost needless ; to add that this necessarily , includes all that the _. English -people understand by "the ultra-Democratic principle . " _"' ' ' _"'' ' ' " The sixth anniversary of the society was the 7 th instant ,. but that falling on a day inconvenient for auy public festival , thc supper wasdefcrred until the Sth—Monday'last . The festival took place in the spacious and beautiful hair of the White Conduit Ilouse , one oftbe finest rooms in-London . Atthe head of the room an illuminated transparency : was erected , exhibiting a figure of Justice standing erect on the globe ; " beneath was thefollo wing inscription in German , French , and English : —¦ _<>'•

      " Au _^ MeiuchensindBruder . ' - • - " Tous les . hommes sontfreres , tl JU men are brethren . " .:, . The number who sat down to supper was about 250 persons , including a number of the fair sex . Ol course the great majority were Germans ; next to these the French were most numerous ; several Englishmen and Englishwomen were present , and natives of Poland , Switzerland , Spain , Hungary , Denmark , Sweden ; Belgium , Norway _* Russia , and Turkey We should not omit to . mention that the singers of

      the society , numbering about thirty in all , greatly added to the harmony and pleasure of the' evening by their admirable singing of-the beautiful German liberty songs . With the exception of being somewhat late served , _the-supper was admirably got up , and the good order and arrangement maintained throughout the evening was worthy of all praise . The chair was ably tilled by Charles Schapper ( one of the founders ofthe society ) , supported on his right by Julian Harney , aud on his left by Colonel _Oborski . After the cloth was removed , ¦ _*• ¦ -:. - .

      The Chairman gave , in German , Flench , and English . — "The Soverign People , the only source of legitimate power . " Drank with three time 3 three . Song— " Welcome to the friends of all nations . " The _Chaibmas then addressed tlie meeting in three _spevehes , German , French , and English , whicli were each enthusiastically _applauded . .. The . following is an outline of his address in English : —Friends , brothers , and sisters of all nations , I thank you for assisting the German Society at this , their sixth anniversary . By such meetings as this we shall learn to know each other , and by regarding each other as brethren , we shall be the better _^ able to improve our eonditibn , and establish the rights of men in all nations . ( Cheers . ) When in 1 S 30 the nations awoke

      from their long slumber , the Germans also awoke . They remembered the promises . made by perjured kings , when iu the day of tribulation they appealed to the people to release them from the iron yoke of Napoleon . They remembered that these promises had never been fulfilled , but that the royal traitors , once relieved from French domination , had rewarded the people who had fought , and bled for them , not witli liberty , but with tyranny and proscription . ( Hear , hear . ) Remembering these things , great excitement was the-consequence , and several Tittle revolutions actually did take place in Brunswick , Cassel , and other places , and same German princes ( not thc wbr * t of them ) were sent packing . ( Cheers . ) There then commenced the Germanic national

      raovenicnt _* VTe were all , Prussians , Saxons , Bavari ns , Brunswickers , « fcc .,, to . form one grand naton . Public meetings were held , fine speeches made , a national colour was adopted , red , black , and gold , and we had flags , ribbons , and even pipes red , black , and gold . There _^ was great excitement for a time , but at last the" governments commenced persecuting the ! leaders—numbersi were thrown into prison , others forced iuto exile , aud others frightened from their principles . Universal proscription was now the order of the day ; and while numbers left their country , tlie masses left behind , deprived of their chiefs , and having but a very limited knowledge o f their rights and duties fell into despair and apathy . The emigrants again rallied round the " red , black ,

      and gold , " but they were not long permitted to do so . Switzerland was menaced , and compelled to refuse shelter to the emigrants . Louis Philippe readily seconded the wishes of the German despots , and even Belgium was no longer a refuge forthe exiles . Under these' circumstances tlie * German nationality movement , entirely crumbled away . Nevertheless , the good cause was not wholly abandoned . The unswerving friends of liberty saw that the grand cause of their former failures had been the want of education amongst the working classes . They therefore set about forming societies to instruct the __ working men . Even in countries where politieal societies were not allowed , these societies were organised under the form of singing clubs . Thus following the spirit of the times , the attempt was made in 1810 to form the present society , and the attempt has been crowned with success . We long had

      to struggle with disheartening difficulties , but these had been surmounted . ( Cheers . ) The chairman then described the present strength and resources of the society as noticed above . Wiser , through the lessons of experience , the projectors of the present society determined to make intelligence the basis of their movement , and to have no chiefs but principles .

      quarter ! In France , in thirtj > fivc millionsof people , there are at least six or seven millions of landholders ; but that number decreases every day . Worse still is the state of Germany , where in many provinces the peasantry are yet sold with the land . In Russia the number oi slaves are far greater than the free men . The earth was given to man for his habitation ; and we see thousands . of _thousands that have no home , no pillow for their head' to rest upon . ' Christ was right when he said , _« ' The birds of , the air have nests , the foxes" have _, holes , and the , son of man hath no place to lay his head . "'"A poor dog sleeps by a bank , or * on the threshold of * _W-palaee ; i ) ut one of those thousands of wretched ; peoplej who should have the audacity to lay his aching head in the same Dlace .

      would be dragged to prison by the police of the aristocracy : and those very poor workmen who lurdly gam enough , to support their childrenV fiud themselves obliged . to give from their , pitiable salary a part to pay a rapacious landlord for a miserable hole tor a lodging .

" This new system will destroy these calamities which overwhelm the _people , for it will give them back the earth , which is of right theirs ., ( Great cheering . ) \ But by what means shall we accomplish this great work of humanity ?

      The CiiAihMAN said , I have next to introduce an English friend , our brother Julian Harney . ( Applause . ) " ¦ '¦ ¦ " G . Julian _Habney delivered a somewhat lengthy address , of which the following is an outline : — Sister ' and Brother Democrats , lam happy in having the privilege of assisting at this meeting . I have heard with much pleasure tho constitution and objects of your society , as explained by thechairman . Knowledgeisthegreatwantofthemasses . Ignoraiice , if not the original sin , was certainly' the original curse ; for ; what but theignorance of the many has enabled the few . to tyrannise over them ? : ( Cheers . ) Man is like the horse , he does not know his own strength , otherwise he wouid noUubmitto' beaslave . ( Applause . ) No doubt , force has had muchtodo with

      the subjection of mankind to slavery , but fraud , has had still more , and but f or the ignorance of the many , thecunnirig few could not have succeeded . ( Cheers . ) _¥ ou will all have observed that every horse drawing a waggon , cart , _coaehi or other carriage , is furnished with two pieces of leather , stuck behind his eyes , and overshadowing them . ' What these arecalled ' l don't know ; but I call tliera " blinders . "' ( Laughter . ) I have heard it said , that these "blinders" are necessary , to prevent the horse looking back and seeing the heavy : lo ? . d he is tied to , thus blinding him to his slavery . ' ( Cheers , ) Just . so it is with man . Every poor , ignorant , willing slave : _has his- two ' ' blinders ; " these "blinders "? are priestcraft aud national prejudice . ( Great cheering . ) But for these

      inventions of thc fraudulent . knaves , who have aided the tyrants ofthe sword in their conquests overhuman rights , men would never have been . 'brought to that willing or hopeless submission to tyranny which yet too extensively exists . Priestcraft has been employed to frighten _menbutdf their reason ; and national prejudices to make them hate each other . _;( Applause . ) When men have grown restive under thc _^ yoke of oppression , the priest has always stepped in , and ordered submission , asserting that it " was the will of the gods that the few should rule the many , and the ' many suffer in . this life , as a necessary probation _^ to fit them for a promised happiness in a life to come , threatening them with thc vengeance of heaven if they disobeyed their rulers , for the powers'that be are ordained of God . ( Laughter And cheers . ) ¦ Our great poet , Pope , has well said of priestcraft ,- at ¦ . ,

      " Gods of conquerors , slaves of subjects made ! " . ( Applause . ) ' Triestcraft has also set men against each other , ami made thom enemies when' they should have been brethren . _| ¦ "¦ Tho bloodiest wars , the the most fiendish : persecutions , the most atrocious crimes . have been enacted in the name of religion . But superstition was hot sufficient'to make men enemies to each other , ' as sometimes it happened that neighbouring states were of . the same faith , therefore national prejudice was encouraged _, and fostered , and hence Spaniards arid Portuguese , though living ' on * one piece of land , arid of the same religion , had liated each other—all the worse , too , it would seem because , iikc rooks and crows , they were closely related . Again , Englishmen and Frenchmen

      have been taught to regard each other as " natural enemies . " Fifty years ago it was the belief of every loyal Englishman that Frenchmen lived on frogs and wore only wooden shoes , and that such people were only fit to be hated and slaughtered . It was one of the maxims of Nelson , taught by him to tlie men under his command , to "hate a Frenchman as you would the devil . " These absurdities have died out in England , I trust , never to have a _resurre-ition . ( Cheers . ) John Bull has been also considerably prejudiced against our _chairmau's countrymen , and 1 think he has had some excuse for his prejudice . ( Laughter . ) . The English people only know Germany through the needy and stupid kings , princes , queens , and princesses , who have imported themselves

      into this country during the last century and a half . [ The Cliairmain : " Why did you not send them back again ? " ] ( Cheers . ) To say nothing of our "lovely Q , uecn , " we hare two unadulterated Germans at present to _supports-Prince Albert and Queen _Adelaide . The one has thirty ; the other one hundred thousand pounds yearly .. The . country tliat lavishes these _* ums upon two individuals—as anEuglislmian , I blush to own it—in this same country , there are thousands o f agricultural labourers whose wages do not average all the yearr _, ound more than six shillings a week ; so that before .-, _slx .-slillling-a-weeh labourer could earn the sum paid to Prince Albert in one year , he must work two thousand years ; and to earn the sum paid to Queen Adelaide in one year

      he must work between sis and seven , thousand years / The sum spent upon this old frump of a queen would give to nearly two thousand families a pound a week every week in the year . Would it not be better that two thousand families should have this sum divided among ; them , than that it should be lavished on one individual , to one fraction of which she has no honest claim ? ( Cheers . ) You will not , then , ] wonder at the prejudice of my couutrymeri towards you Germans , seeing that too many of them have not learned to distinguish between the German people and German despots . ( Cheers . ) Nationality has in other times been necessary . The nationality , championised by aMiltiades , a Tell , and a Wallace , was a positive good ; 'it saved mankind from universal and

      irredeemable slavery . ' In our own day , too , the invoking of the spirit of nationality in some countries is indispensable to rekindle life in those countries , and to induce those nations to strike the first blow for liberty . I consider Poland and Italy to be two instances where the spirit of nationality _' may be invoked with beneficial results . 1 would , however , suggest tothe Poles and Italians , that mere freedom f rom Russian and Austrian domination is not all that is necessary . We must have no king Czartoryski . ( _Ohoers . ) We must have no kingdom of Italy such _sa the Italian deputies solicited of the " Holy Alliance " inlS 15 . ( Cheers . ) We must have tlie sovereignty ef the people in both countries . The'education of the peopleand" at leastthe progressive social

      ad-, , , vance ofthe people , ever progressing , until the people own no masters out themselves , anil enjoy the fruits of their labour , uninfluenced by oppressors in any shape or name , In other countries , such as England andFraucc , there is . no need to _rekiudle national feelino- on the contrary , the efforts of tho good men in _botti countries should be directed to the abolition of the remaining prejudices which a barbarous cultivation ofthe spirit of nationality , in days gone by , called into existence . I appeal to the oppressed classes of every land , . English , French , German . Snanish , Polish , Italian , Swedish , Prussian ,

      and all others , to unite with each other tor the triumph of tlieir common cause , ( Cheers . ) " Divide aud conquer , " has been the motto of oppressors ; _«• Unite aud triumph ! " shouldbe our counter motto . Whatever natural differences divide Poles , Russians , Prussians , Hungarians , and Italians , these national differences have not prevented the Russian , Austrian , and Prussian despots uniting together to maintain their tyranny ; why , then , cannot the people of those countries unite for the obtainment of their liberty ? ( Cheers ;) , Viotoria exchanges visits with the hoary traitor o f the barricades , and both boast of the friendship existing between them ; why . then , should not Englishmen and Frenchmen * hail

      each other as brethren ? ( Cheers . _); -I am , convinced that this fraternal ' union could be accomplished , if tlie leaders , of public _' opinion :. throughout-Europe w ' i ' uld work faithfully " to tlieir mission . The cause of tho people'iu ' all countries is the same—the cause of labour ; enslaved arid " plundered ; labour .- I spoke of Queen Adelaide ' s salary , ' hut wfli . must ( remember that ' she is but brie , arid to her salary must be added those of , the ' other members of the monarchy , and the _syeiphan ts of the court . Then there . are . the salaries paid ' to the Ministers , to Generals , .. Admirals ; and , the . Army , —to the useless . swarms , of government officials , the host of excisemen , customs _officers , arid others ; thousands . of hard-working bees being plundered to support ' these useless drones .

      ( Cheers . ) ' Then , to say nothing of the enormous cost of " voluntary religion , " such as the building of chapels , the support of thousands of dissenting ministers , teachers , missionaries ; bible , tract , and eountlcssothei * societies ; to say nothing of these , the ; established church has its income of-several millions . But the robberies of our political system are scarcely more than as a drop in the bucket compared with the robberies of our social ' system ) .

A so-called republic , in whieh tho rich rule , or in Which even . rich , and poo _^ _co-exist , is but " a mockery , a delusion , and a snare . " ,, ( Cheers . ) .

      _PiiEr-ABATioss _ron Wab .-7 Whatever ' may be the resultof tlie present aspect . of affairs , " the . standing army is about to be . placed" in a riiost efficient state by the addition of 10 _, 000 _, _' men , and the militia will be brought into readiriessfoi * immediate training on the shortest notice . The Ordnance Corps is to be inr creased betwixt 1 , 400 and 1 , 500 men , one half of that number to form a battalion of the Royal Regiment of Artillery , consisting of eight coiiipahies of Royal Sappers and Miners , commanded by officers of the Royal _Engineers . ' There are at present seven troops of Royal Horse Artillery , three troops C H , and Rocket troop , at Woolwich ; ' one troop E ,-at Newcastle ; one troop F , at Leeds ; one troop D , at Dublin ; and one troop A , at Limerick . * Each of six of

      the troops hits four guns , which are to be increased te six , with the usual number of _gunnors iri proportion . The Royal Marines are to be iucreasod to the extent of 2 , 500 men , and the land forces of the line regiments 6 , 000 men , bnt whether the lattor will be added in battalions or additional regiments is not yet made known . The increase of Iho navy wilt be about 1 , 000 men , _'but it is already in a very efficient state , and steaiu-vesselsof very great power can be manned by a far less number of hands than ships of war . This is a very great advantage , and a great saving of life during engagements , as the destruction on board of crowded vessels'is far greater in proportion to the

      number oil board , as was recently _sliown by the great loss of life on board the French vessels at the engagement with Rosas in the river Plate , the number on board being generally about one-third more in French vessels than iri English of the same class . A very important addition is about to be mado in all large war steamers of tho British navy , by the addition of two er more light _G-pounder guns , mounted in every respect in the same manner as the light 6-pounder guns of the Royal Horse Artillery . These guns ave to be fitted with men-harness , to be taken on shore when required , and moved from one place to another , with or without the aid of horses . —Times .

      The Suip Torv . —It ia a curious fact with respect to this vessel , which has excited sa much notice and interest in the pubiie mind , that the crest or arms of tho ownu * are the arm and shoulder of a man holding in his hand a bloody spear or . javeliu _, with . which he is apparently about to strike an object , and that this was actually painted on thc stern of the vessel . It was very generally noticed whilst she was lying in the Dock-basiu , aud the circumstance is worthy , of remark , simply because ' its appearance was siirnificant , in consequenceof the _veryfrightfulsccnesofslaughter and bloodshed enacted on board while on the open sea . The vessel is , now on tho ocean , again bound for . a cargo , of cotton .

      The Lam Attempted _Suioidb ai Newisgto . v , and Mysterious Dbath . — On Monday evening a protracted inquiry took place before Mr . William Carter , the coroner _fbi * East Surrey , at the Girafl ' e Tavern , Penton-place , Newington , respecting the death of Mrs . Susannah _Yasey , aged seventy-five years , who died on Friday last under very sudden and singular circumstances . The de ' eeased is the mother of a female who is now lying in a very precarious state from the effects of a severe injury to the throat , which , it was alleged , had been inflicted by her husband , who has already undergone several examinations before the sitting magistrate , at the Lambeth Police-court . Richard Vasey , of 3 , Alfred-terrace , Peuton-placeNewingtondeposed that the deceased

      , , was his mother ; she was the widow of a bookbinder ; she had generally been in the enjoyment of good health up to Friday morning last , when she complained of a severe pain in the side . Witness advised iter to consult Mr . Young , the surgeon residing in Upper Kennington-lane . He prescribed for her ; after whicli they proceeded on their way home , and when near the . Kennington-road , the deceased tell to the ground through weakness . Witness raised her up aud conveyed her to her residence , and having made her bed , he laid her upon it , with her clothes on . Witness gave her a glass of the medicine , which she said gave her great relief . He remained by the clokwh

      bedside until about a quarter to two o ' e , en she seemed much better . Witness then told her he waB going out to see his . sister , and haying been satisfied that she wanted for nothing , he left her . At seven o ' clock in the evening , witness returned , and upon going into tho room _,, ho found her lying on the bed , : quite dead and cold . Witness immediately called up the nurse , who ran lot * Mr . Stowers , the surgeon , who attended , but his services were of no use . Other evidence having been received , showing that death had arUen fr om disease of the heart , the jury unanimously recorded a verdict ol "Natural death from disease ofthe heart . "
