      The Beasoner . Edited by G . J . Holtoake . Parts XXXIX ., XL ., XLI ., XLII . London : J . "Watson , Queen's Head Passage , Paternoster Row . These Parts constitute the first four of a newseries of the Reasoner . To Reformers who agree with Mr . Holtoake in his fullest assertion of the right of private judgment , but "vriio dissent from some ^ f his vi ews on theology &C , this publication will be more attractive than it was in times past , when it was more polemical and less political than it is at present . It is pleasant to see a teacher of progress progressing ; a sigbt not always to be met with .

      The orations , articles , &c , on the death of Henry Hetherington , form a striking feature of the Parts under notice . The report of Mr . Cooper ' s " Funeral Eloge" contains an interesting' summary of the eventful history of iJie true and tried patriot who commenced his public career as the Poor Mail ' s Guardian , and ended his mortal race while occupying the sacred position of a faithful and philanthropic Guardian of the Poor .

      Although Henry Hetherington had experienced many trials and misfortunes , he had also had his victories ; and in his death he ¦ was signally fortunate in leaving behind Mm faithftil and talented friends , willing and able to do justice to his memory . The admiration of the readers of the Reasoner must be paid both to the deceased patriot , and to those who so "worthily dedicated their talents to vindicate his reputation , and make known his claims to the srratitudcof his countrymen . TiiTthese Parts will be found a series of ably

      ¦ written articles by a writer -who takes the signature of "Ecgese ; " his articles combine with the enthusiasm of youth , that solidity "which usually belongs only to those of mature age and experience . The articles of this writer on coiitieental politics and the Factory Ques tion , arc "worthy of special commendation . Other writers might be singled out for notice , — we will name only one , TV . J . Lixtox—the Murat of the Reasoner corps . Mr . Lixtox is no friend of ours , but that shall not prevent us thanking him for Iris chivalrous and untiring pleading for the Romans , Hungarians , and

      other " oppressed nationalities , " against the cruelties , and crimes , and treacheries , and hypocrisies of Tsar , and Kaiser , and perjured President , and psdavering Palmerston , and pettifogging , pitiful peacemongers . If we may ibr thenioment adopt a vulgar but expressive Americanism , which , indeed has become pretty veil Anglified , —we " go the whole hog " with W . J . X . IXTOS against all and sundry of his opponents , vi his manly vindication of those who have dared to draw the sword for Liberty and Justice ; and his equally praiseworthy denunciations of all who have been

      parties—directly or indirectly—to the temporary overthrow of the brave and suffering patriots of the continent The following article , by a writer with a stature unknown to fame , is briefly as well aseloquentlv Avritten ; two reasons for quoting

      That body should Be erect , and full of force and lifel but it is bowed down and spiritless ? I should be comely and well clothed , but it is fflthy and raggeft ! Dear friends of order , look on him : do not at least contemn him , for he has been , all through this inttiiess winter day , breaking stones to make smooth the road that your carriage wheels might glide along smoothly . Look on him ; if you do not , he will not much need it ; for he is nit like the l . zzaroni you may have encountered in your travels . He will not crawl , whine , and beg fov a little charity . Look on hup , and fear not . He has a very unpleasing countenance , it is true ; but it does not brood murder , as you might well suppose . It is the expression of despair-which his visage always wears when , as is the SftS ^^ S ^^^ H ^™*^ "

      case now , his children at the hovel yonder have eaten up seven days' food by the end of the fifth . He calls it being " eaten cut of house arid home ! " You should visit tliat which he calls his house and home . iou _ should see his wife and children ; endeavour to spy in upon them without their knowledge . You would then be better able to form a true notion of them . You might then be led to think some means might be provided to make their condition less dreadful . It might so strike you . When the children sobbed and screamed for bread , you might think they needed and ought to have of it : and seeing the mother gunk down , exhausted , on her bed of straw , with the squallid infant at her breast , you might , from your knowledge of naturei be convinced that she sank down for want of proper

      nourishment . Fr iends of order ! if the smallest particle ° ? t « e labourer 8 heart be good ; if there be left in him aught of parent or husband , if the fell scourge , pov > rty > has not bereft him entirely of his common nature , he cannot quietly endure a sight like this . It nobility , the boasted attribute of humanity , ever were his , to what a worthless dreg it must be reduced ! If he were ever clothed in native majeBty , it has lonsj been displaced by infamy . Butwewi ! return to him . "We left him breaking stones on the Queen ' s highway .

      There he is , all alone , unheeded and unpitied , plying his sledge-hammer with what strength he has left . He seldom lifts his head , except , perchance , as some one of your wealthy families , lounging in their carriage , rush past him . The night is already setiu—cohl , piercing winds and drenching rains , that , fill his bones with aches and cramps , are gathering all around . Alas ! poor labourer , whither will he go ? Your splendid villas , oh , friends of order ! adorning the hill side along . the road , ave all lit up with fire , ' and candle , and lamp . It is your dinner hour . . Savoury roast meats aud choice wines load you tables , and the laugh and the jest , soft music , and graceful song are yours . But what is all this feasting and merry-making , to the starving labourer , but a mockery and a . taunt ? What but a demonstration that you have won the victory ? What but the manifestation of the fact , that by you he has been despoiled ?

      He goes towards his wi * e and children who are anxiously awaiting his approach . His way lies through the dark lane . Oft he stumbles in the unseen ruts , knee deep in mud and water , made by the waggon wheels , Clogged is every step he takes , and oftho well-niah sinks in despair , for the fiend , hunger , has not been idle with him . " Quit thy muddy path , " the fiend whispers in his ear " there is the rich man's garner , take thy fill , poor man , and thy necessities be thy justification . " The lock is broken , the store gained , the sack is filled , and the deed done !

      t Friends of order ! you know the rest . You will sit in judgment upon him for this ; and , with one voice , cry " away with him into slavery !" _ Look on this picture , oh , friends of order ! consider it ; and then ask yourselves whether all this machinery , this order of which you are the pillar and capital—this church , parliament , throne , country ' house , Sessions-house , and model prisonmight not be made to produce some result f » r the labourer less hateful to humanity than this his present lot—a so-called independent manhood , without recompense , without comfort , with the gaol on the one hand and the poorhouse on the other—and an old age , for those who reach it , of discomfort , disrespect , and hopeless wretchedness . What you are required to do , let it be said , is to be done for justice , not for charity . You are required to make paupers men . ) not men paupers . Christopher .

      Were we captiously inclined we might pick a good many holes in the pages of the Reasoner , but there is one good reason why we should forbear : the matter we disapprove of bears but a small proportion to that which has our full approbation . Though" not a flattering , this is an honest tribute to the merits of ( the new series of ) the Reasoner .

      Tlie Vxbridge Spirit of Freedom .. Conducted by "Working Men . No . VIII . November . London : Watson , Queen ' s-head Passage . This number of the Spirit of Freedom is , like its predecessors , rich in the eloquence of truth outpoured in the defence of Liberty and Justice . Our friends Massey , E-yjiill , and others , abate nothing of their vigour ; on the contrary , they seem to progress in strength as they advance in the work of their mission . The following extracts will exhibit the spirit of the articles from which they are selected : —

      THE TRIUMPHS OF LABOUR . Labour is glorious , it has changed the savage glen into a fruitful , civilised country , and covered it with countless monuments of art ; it was the labour of countrymen that has given Britain her illustrious position among the nations , and won for her the proud boast that the sun never sets upon her dominions . Our countrymen , by their labour , have built our Londons , our Manchesters , our Birminghams , with all their magnificent churches , splendid mansions , gorgeous palaces , institutions , asylums , hospitals , r . oble halls , schools , aud stately athemmims , mechanics' institutes , &c . They have sweated at the forge , and swelled at the furnace , and experimentalised in the foodies garret : they have given us the

      printing press , the steam engine , the telegraph ; they have laid all nature under tribute to do our bidding , made God ' s lightning our messengers ; at ou command the leviathan steam engine starts with the strength of a thousand horses in his iron sinews , and draws passengers and merchandise at the rate of forty miles an hour ; they have almost superseded manual labour , and , in many instances , entirely ; by machinery they have filled the pockets of the rich , and rendered the poor poorer ; they have created another aristocracy , more odious and more powerful than the feudal one , one ever ready to coin their treasures out of the heart ' s blood of " tLc toiler , by crushing hi *

      energies and destroying his independence for ever . Ourcounfrymen have bought , by the pangs of their sore travail , ever } ' gem in the bauble crown which rests on the brow of England ' s queen , her bed , the silken hangings and golden trappings of her throne , her palaces , her property , all have been wrung from the sinews and bones of labour ; the men who have filled our armies and armaments , marched over buming plains , and ploughfd the raging seas , conquered Hindustan , and won Trafalgar , have sprung from the ranks of labour ; and such are some of labour ' s grand achievements ; and yet , with all our victories , we are slaves—the slaves of monarchy , of rristocracy , of priestcraft , of bad laws , and of ignorance .

      We have not room to extract from the articles on Organisation , &c , &c ., —very ably and boldly written . We conclude this notice with the following spirited sentences addressed

      TO LAMAItTINE . You may set yourself up to be the counsellor of the people , M . de Lamartine , but you-are not the manyonrsoul has a sublime sneaking for royalty , even to the lip-worship of that offal remains of the empire-Louis Napoleon ; you might have breathed the breath of life into the republican present ; you have been the murderer of the future ; you might have guided the free steps of a happy people up the transfiguring mourn of the To-Conie . You have left them

      dragging the car of misery in the ruts of past generations , misery is within their walla , misery is within their hearts , and instead of bidding their little ones to love all men as brothers , the torch of revenge is lighted , a mist of blood is in their eyes , it is the blood of their brothers of Rome , of Paris , of Radstadt , and Vienna ; and they bequeath to them the bloody heritage of retribution—retribution that will arise , " stalk forth from the graves of the dead , and cholera-like , avenge their wrongs upon the peace of the living .

      Reynold ' s Political Instructor . Edited by Gr . W . M . Reynolds . London : J . Dicks , 7 , Wellington-street North . We have to welcome a new publication devoted to the instruction of the people , and the advocacy of their rights . We give the Editor ' s opening article in full : — > THE REVIVAL OF A WOnKING-CLASS AGITATION . The history of nearly every moral agitttion and of every movement accomplished by means of physical force , shows that after the immediate object has been cither partially or wholly cained , the middle classes

      have reaped the greater advantage , and the toiling millions have seen their own material interests teglccted—their wrongs unredressed—their rights unreco gnised—and their claims disregarded . In a wo . -d , they have been cheated with the shadow , while the middle classes have grasped the substance . Then , too , the middle classes have proclaimed the necessity of desisting from any further agitation , on the plea that absolute tranquillity becomes necessary for the revival of trade ; -and if the working classes have persisted in continuing tho agitation , they have been denouncd as disturbers of the peaeeJ-iuveterate mal rnntents—and incorrigible foes to order ,-4 vhile mid-

      [ e-class juries have been called upon to become the media of dealing foFth--the vengence of ganguinarj and barbarian laws . " It is indeed a painful fact that the middle classes have too often proved themselves as hostile aud as eppvessive as the Aristocracy towards the industrious millions;—and therefore the sons and daughters of toil must at least be upon their guard , if not actually animated with suspicion , whenever they are called upon to give their adhesion to a political movement which originates with the middleclasses . l ^ assjuries have been ¦ called upon become the

      Of all such movements which have taken place within the present century , that of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association appears to offer the beBt guarantees for sincerity of purpose , unflinching determination , and breadth of fundamental principle ; and in n . y opinion it deserves the strenous support of all true patriots and honest Reformers . But as the objects of tbat Association are defined and limited , it must necessarily expire whan Us mission ia accomplished ; and as the working classes demand more than it undertakes to procure for them , a well organised agitation should at least be in embryo , if not in actual existence , to perpetuate the moral struggle of democracy agaiust class legislation and of right against wrong , until the full measure of reform be obtained and the regeneration of society be accomplished .

      Moreover , for the reasons allleged at the outset , the working classes must be careful how they compromise tieir claims bv throwing themselves heart and soul into a movement which is professedly instituted to obtain for them less than the amount of those claims . They should support that movement to the utmost of their power : but they should not , by abandoning a legitimate agitation within their own sphere , lead the world to suppose that they have entered into any compromise to take less than all they were wont to claim . They should assume that imposing attitude which seems to say to the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association ; " We go with you hand-in-hand as far as you are travelling , because our journey lies along

      the same road : but we tell you honestly and frankly beforehand that we do not intend to stop at the same mile-stone where you propose to halt , inasmuch as we are bound to travel on to the end . " For it cannot be for a moment admitted nor tolerated that any Association organised by the middle classes shall settle the privileges and define the rights of the working classes . Indeed , if any one section of the community ought to have the power of establishing the nature and equilibrium of the governmental and administrative institutions , that section assuredly consists of the industrious millions , who are not only the numerical majority , but are likewise the ori gin of all wealth and the producers of everything necessary for the support and enjoyment of life .

      Again , the working classes have much to agitate for , in which they do not receive any sympathy from the middle classes . I especially allude to the rights of labour , the evils of competition , the measures regulating the periods of labour in factories , and all the varied grievances of coal-miners , stockingerB , cutlery manufacturers , potters , weavers , agricultural labourers , ic Ac . But I need not enter into any detail of all those points on which there now exists a war to the knife between those who work and those who give work—between those whose capital is money and those whose capital is labour—between those who revel in luxury and those who starve . It is sufficient for the present purpose to know and to feel that inasmuch as a vast proportion of the wrongs and

      sufFermgs ot tae workitig classes emanates directly from the avarice , injustice , neglect , and ignorance of the middle classes , it is useless to look for total redress to this latter section of society . No middle-class movement , therefore , can ever lead to results calculated to give entire satisfaction to the working classes ; and this fact constitutes perhaps the strongest argument that can be advanced to show the necessity of the working classes maintaining an incessant , but peaceful and constitutional agitation of their own , despite of and in addition to any other agitation which may bs concurrentl y instituted by the middle classes . That an union between the two classes is most

      desirable , no one will attempt to deny : but an union cannot possibly be otherwise than transitory so long as the one class is resolute on stopping at a certain defined point and the other is equally determined to push the work of progress on to the extent indicated alike by reason and justice . Thus , an union between the two classes may now take place , under the auspices of Sir Joshua Walmsley , with a view to wrest from a reluctant Ministry certain measures of reform : but when once that point shall have been gained , the coalition must inevitably cease—one party relapsing into quiescence , and the other still magnanimously toiling on in the cause of progress .

      A ^ trite simile will not be here out of place . The millions are starving and exclaim , " We have no bread ! " Forth come certain individuals of the middle-class , saying , " We will agitate in order to obtain you half a loaf . " To this the working-classes should reply , " We will certainly joia you in the endeavour to obtain that half-loaf , because it is better than none : but inasmuch as the whole loaf is our just right and what we have always claimed , we shall perpetuate the agitation , with or without you , until we have obtained it . "

      To my mind the varioas arguments which I have thus ventured to throw together , are conclusive in showing the necessity of a revival of that workingman s agitation which under the good old Saxon name of Chartism has already more than once convinced a tyrannical oligarchy that the millions feel their wrongs and have become impatient under them . And that the demands of the workingrclasses may be fully understood , —and that they may stand forth in juxtaposition with any petty conces ? ions which a frightened Ministry may within a short time be disposed to grant , —I think that these demands should be recorded as follows : — 1 . Universal Suffrage . * 2 . Vote by Ballot . 3 . Annual Parliaments . 4 . Equal Electoral Districts . 5 . Paid Representatives . 6 . No Property-Qualification . of

      ^ The Recognition the Rights of Labour . 8 . The Abolition of the Law of Primo geniture . It will be seen that two principles are here added to those contained in the noble document called the People ' s Charter ; and I thus annex them because the events of 1848 brought one of them so prominently before the eyes of the world , and because ie other is so intimately connected with the causes of the wide-spread pauperism existing in this country . For the Rights of Labour may be summed up in the axiom that " there should be a fair day ' s wa"e iorafair day ' s work ; and tbat every man able and willing to work , should have work found for him . " As for the Law of Primogeniture , it is abhorrent to those principles of common justice and common sense which proclaim that" the earth belongs first of all to those who are upon it ; and that every one is entitled

      to receive a subsistence from the earth , before any one individual has a right to more . " But the laws of entail , of mortmain , and primogeniture , instituted for the purpose of retaining wealth in particular channels have been ably defined as measures that " prevent Ihe natural circulation of property-obstruct the coming together of land and useful labour—and by thus hindering the production of food from advancing at the same rate as the froduetion of people , spread pauperism and misery over the face of the country . " I have now stated my opinions in behalf of a revival of a working man ' s agitation ; and I have recorded the principles on which I think that agitation should be based . But I must emphaticall y declare that 1 contemplate only a legal and constitutional agitation , —adopting those means and having recourse to thore expedients which sre comprised within the meaning or the term— " Moral Force . "

      Sir Joshua Walhslbt , the Member for Botton must now be considered tho Leader of the Middle Class Movement , This gentleman is thoroughly honest and art undoubted Liberal : indeed , he himself has admitted in the admirable speeches which h « has delivered at recent public meetings , that he goes beyond the principle set forth in the " profession of faith" promulgated by the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . Sir Joshua is a ipan of bu ? iness-habit . s , shrewdness , tact , and indomitable perseverance : he is straightforward in his character aud his speeches ; < md his acquaintance with the real wants and interest of ( he masses is apparent in the mode in which he addresses them from the platform . His votes in Parliament hare always been on the right side ; and ifc should be recorded that he was one of the ' fifteen who supported Mr . O'Connor ' s motion For the People ' s Charter last session

      Mr . Feargus O'Connor , the Member for Nottingham , is the Leader of the Working Class Movement . To the cause of the sons of toil he has devoted the best years of his life : day and night has he served them with energy , fidelity , and intelligence ;—and tho best proof of his patriotism is to be found in the fnct thac he has beenunweariedly , shamefully , and atrociously maligned by the illiberal portion of the . public press and by the upholders of existing abuses . Him whom the people love , the Aristoeracy are certain to hate ; -and therefore the hated of the Aristoeracy and of that large portion of the press which the Aristocracy can command , is sure to be a man whose talent , integrity , and influence are an object of dread on the part of despots .

      David ' s Sling at the State Church Goliath , by George Hows . London : W . Strange , * h Paternoster-row . Mr . Hows dedicates his "Sling" to the Right Rev . Father in God , the Lord Bishop of Lincoln , after the following manner : — How dare your Spiritual Lordshi p call yourself a minister ot the religion of Christ ? If Jesus were at tins moment to demand an account of your stewardship , how blanched would cheek become !

      your Where would you hide your guilty head ? Surrounded as you are by all the paraphernalia of infidelity to the nieek and lowl y Jesus ; to wit , your purple and fine linen , your palaces , your equipages , your luxuries , your immense wealth ; surrounded as you are by all these unmistakable evidences of your infidelity do you ever think of the man of sorrow and acquainted with grief , whohad . not where to . lay his head ? Do you ever dream of the poor English heathens by whom you are surrounded , and whom you rob to maintain yourself in your infidel splendour ?

      The character of the . " Sling " may be understood by the following ( not very smooth ) stone , fluug at

      PRIESTS AND RULERS . Be not deceived by their soft words , their sublime prayers , their imposing ceremonies , their loud protestations , their eloquent discourses ; I declare to you , that in spite of all these external appearances to lead the people astrr . y , they know and believe in their heart of hearts that it ' s all a mummery—a stage play —a make-believe , to " awe and govern " the people , and line their own pockets . Tins is as true as that God has ordained , that they , for their hollowness , iniquity , and pride , shall be speedil y annihilated . Bravo , David 1 " Up , and at them !"

      cynosure of all eyes , and the admired talisman that attracts a thousand beating hearts , —hovbrow seems loftier , though paler , than of yore , and her voluptuous form , attired in all the splendour of luce and jewels , seems to dazzle the beholder , yet a careful scrutiny of her countenance would show to the most inapt observer tliat all is not peace under that gay exterior , —her eye no longer swims in tho liquid light of unaffected happiness , —her footsteps have not the lightness of their former trend , —her gaze , when unoccupied witli receiving the meaningless compliments of the gay fluttcrers who surround her , is absorbed and vacant , —she is tho splendid mistress of a gorgeous mansion , not the loved wife of a happy homo . Ilor husband , Walter . North , now a peer of

      the realm , has been elevated to the Upper House with the title of Lord Maxwell , as a reward for his subserviency to the Whig Cabinet ; his quondam friends and supporters , the Corn Law League , occasionally receive his support , but iu all essential respects he has become a mere tool of the ruling faction ; his services are ever at their command , and his mediocre abilities better suited to the dull region of the Peers than to the more active arena of the so-called House of Commons ; his father-in-law and the Earl of Attringharn arc both immured in the tomb of their ancestors , and m right of his lady lie l ias become possessor of their oitonsivo domains ; his career has been one complete gleam of sunshine ; the height of his aspiring hopes has been attained ,

      and his whole soul glories in his success , stiil his happiness is not without alloy : his lady has twice brought him a son and heir , but death lms claimed them as his prey , and his ambition frets and chides itself , that whilst every cottage on his extensive domaia ia crowded with , starving children , -whose parents waste their strength in vain efforts to support them , whilst his baronial hall , whore more food is wasted than would supply tho wants of the whole hamlet , is destitute of a child to share its plenty , or transmit the honours of the lord to succeeding generations . Marrying from motives of pride and ambition—destitute of the genuine feeling of love , — when a few short months had passed , passion was exchanged for satiety , —home ceased to have charms

      in Ins eye ; used to the active pursuits of trade he could not enact the simple but dignified part of a country gentleman , and the retirement of Newland Hall ( for the fond father had insisted upon their living with him whilst iu the country , ) was too irksome a restraint to bo- long endured by one whose ev'ery wish had hitherto been gratified . Attendance to his parliamentary duties being a valid excuse , his homo . was but seldom visited , and speedilv quitted without any symptoms of regret , and his onco flattered bride , the lovely Clarence , in tho depth of her heart was forced to admit that she had pledged her , fc i ? ? to onc who Wfls careless of the value of the oftenng ; vainly did she try by every solicitude m her power to charm back his wayward heart , but immersed in business or pleasure , he heeded not her attractions ; and love for . her futhor , whoso

      declmmg health would not permit his removal to London , still kept them estranged from each other until the death of Lord Fitzherbert , when they removed to their town establishment in Belgravesquare . Devotedl y attached to her father , Clarence mourned his loss with no common grief , —he was to her a dear companion and a sincere friend , —and when bereft of him she felt still move keenly the unkindness of her husband ; but once introduced into town life , the novelty of the scene—the glitter and refinement with which slio was" surroundedawakened the dormant passions of her soul , and she plunged recklessly into its whirlpool of gaieties , and sought to hide her domestic grief in the chaos of dissipation . Young and lovely—admired and flatter ° d b y all—she strove , amid bustle and gaiety , to fill that void in her heart which unrequited love gave birth to , but in vain did she seek to satisfy its

      cravings ; in the dance and the carousal she was the giddiest of the gay , but in her deserted chamber she felt all the lone bitterness of a slighted heart . True , she was flattered and caressed , and many wore the voices that whispered to her of love—false , adulterous lovfc—but though the fulsome adulation gratified her newly awakoncd vanity , and whilod away the tedium of the hour , it never reached her heart , —her education had been too pure , —her na-
