      SOCIAL REFORM . Need I prolong the enumeration of the advantages that would result from the adoption of the new . system ? la the industrial world around us , each successive discovery of science is a calamity , first , because improved machines supersede labourers , who must work in order to live ; secondly because they are so many deadly weapons with which the manufacturer who has the ti g ht and the power to use them , arms himself against all who have not thi 3 power or this right The words New Machine , in the system of unlimited competition , mean monopoly ; this we have proved . Now , the

      system of association and solidarity admits no patents of in vetion , no exclusive exploitation . The inventor would be recompensed by the State , and his invention would be immediately placed at the disposal of society at large . Thus , discoveries which are at present instruments of extermination would he immediately converted into means of universal progress ; instead of reducing the workman to hunger , despair , and rebellion , they ¦ would serve to lighten his task , and procure him leisure for the exercise of his intelligence ; in a word , instead of facilitating tyranny , they would ¦ promote the triumph of fraternity .

      What could credit be ? A means of supplying tne workman with the implements and materials of his craft . At present credit is no such thing . They could not , if they would—lend to the poor , without ruining themselves . Banks , therefore , constituted with a view to individual interests , cannot under any circumstances be other than an ingenious contrivance for enriching the rich , and enhancing the strength of the strong . Everywhere we find monopoly under the disguise of freedom ; everyct of ! The

      wheretvranny in the aspe progress proposed organisation -would extirpate all these iniquities -The proportion of profit specially and invariably set apart for the extension of the social workshop bv the recruital of fresh hands—this would , virtually , be credit . " What further need then would you have of banks ? Suppress them . Would the growth of the population be matter of alarm , so soon as the certainty of a livelihood had accustomed every workman to ideas of order and habits of provident forecast ? . . ,...-, pm . u » i « j ui ut v 1 iuvm v 1 vi vvw ^ * - . _ . - ~ in each

      In a system which would assemble orancn of industrv , a number of men animated with the same spirit , acting under the same impulse , having common hopes and a common interest , what room would' remain , I ask , for these adulterations , those crafty manoeuvres , those , habitual falsehoods , those occult frauds , to which at present every manufacturer , every tradesman , is driven by the necessity of attracting , at any cost , his . neighbours customers and gains ? In this respect , then , industrial reform would be a very real and a very profound moral revolution , and would make more converts in a single day , than all the honiib . es . of made in

      preachers and moralists have an age . It has been shown how in the existing system , the education of the children of the poorer class is almost impossible . It would besopossible—so easy under our system , that it would be necessary to render it not only gratuitous , but obligatory . As every workman would hare an assured ^ vehhood , and a sufficient salary , what right would he haveto Seep his children from school ? Many thoughtful S think that it would at present tedangerous to diffuse education too widely amongst the common Sople-and they are right .

      To recapitulate : ; A social revolution must be attempted . First , because the present . social order is too full of iniquities , of miseries , ofturpitudes , to be able to subsist any longer . Secondly , because there is no one , whatever his position , his rank , his fortune , who is not interested in the inauguration of a new social order . •_ lnirdly because it is possible , nay easy , to accomplish this necessary revolution by pacific means . , In the new world to which this revolution would introduce US , there would still nerh . ins remain somfi-Tf \ VftI * OT \^ 4 tlAn 4 'a ' ^ lv 1 vTiwHilT 1113 IT ** ' .

      thing to do for the complete realisation of fraternity . But ail would , at least , be prepared for this realisation , which would be finally accomplished by . education . The human race has been too long turned aside from its gaol to admit of our now reaching it in a single day . The corrupting civilisation whose yoke we still endure has disturbed all interests , and at the same time unsettled all opinions , and poisoned at its very source , the human understanding . Iniquity has become justice , falsehood has become truth , and men have torn each other fiercely in the dark .

      Many false ideas remain to be destroyed ; they will , let us not doubt it , disappear . Thus , for example , the day will come when it will be recognised that he who has received from God nobler endowments of strength or intellect , owes , in the . same proportion , more to ' his fellows . Then it will belong to genius , adopting a conduct worthy of its eminence , to prove its legitimate sway , not by the magnitude of the tribute levied from society for its support , but by the grandeur of the services which it wUl render spontaneously to mankind . For it 18 not inequality of rights , but inequality of duties , that should properly result from inequality of capacities . "W e add the following extract from the same great writer ' s eloquent letter to Maazini : —

      FBAKCE AKD BOMB . Was it not ai the thought of Rome thus profaned , alas I by French soldiers , that in the month of June , France burned with indignation when the parliamentary debates called forth such tragic echoes in our country , when sacrificing their position , fortune , liberty , and life to the right of protesting , certain representatives of the people decended into the public streets , when Paris arose unarmed and indignant ;' when , without concerted measures , but as it were by acommon electrical impulse , Sletz , Strasburg , Limoges , Ferpignah and Toulouse were suddenly aroused to action ; when , at the sound of "Longlive Italy , " in Lyons , thousands of men rushed into the iaws of death ? ¦ And what still more

      loudly proclaims that the whole of France must not be confounded with the French , government in its late transaction , is , that since his tremendous explosion of public indignation , we have seen , as the consequence of it , republicans everywhere hunted down like wild beasts , the proscription . list enlarged , new prisons opened , journals suppressed , and then * offices pillaged , literary men led through the country in irons , officers banished or condemned to death , and even whole regiments sent beyond the seas . Oh truly ! we Democrats have paid dearly for this protest in favour of Italy . We complain not of pur . sufferings , but rather thank heaven we are allowed to endure them for such a cause . They are indeed expiatory sacrifices , and

      blessed be they as they will one day plead the cause of France when she will haveto appear before the tribunal of free nations to answer for the invasion of Home . The protest it is true was a defeat . But why ? Ask General Changarnier , and he will point to his cannon . Row you , my dear Mazzini , who have so long lamented over your oppressed Italy , know how imposing is the demonstration and employment of force under , certain circumstances . . . " But does not Universal Suffrage exist in France ? This also is true , and it is not the least of our sorrows to observe through what a course of dark and tortuous policy these two great facts , the Republic

      and Universal Suffrage , have been forced to pass . However , had it been possible to consult the people by an appeal to Universal Suffrage on the particular question of Italy , would the reply have been hostile to Rome ? If the following question had been put to those electors who chose the present majority because they believed they were in a manner promoting what was represented to them as the cause of order ; " It is proposed to go and attack a people who have never provoked us , but oa the contrary , have always declared themselves to be our friends . It is proposed that republican France should go and destroy the republic at Rome ; do you think this just , and will you have it so V docs any one suppose they would have answered in the affirmative ?

      Fortunately the destinies of the future are ' not yet accomplished . Thanks to heaven France is a nation that contains within her the power to revive , to renew her youth and vigour , and at the very moment when least expected , to rise from the state of abasement in which she is sunk , to the proper level of her destiny . Her mission in history is not yet accomplished : she has the strength to undertake it , and how could she fail to do so now that she has to expiate a deed , which until it is , thoroughly atoned for , compels us to hide our faces in the dust . No one need despair that Francewill redeem her honour and atone for the . crimes of her present infamous rulers ; but that can only be , when the Eed Flag triumphant , shall proclaim the inauguration of the Democratic and Social Republic .

      and entire , how many thousands of persons would exclaim , " Ah ; this , is indeed a glorious system ! I shall give my instantaneous adhesion to it .

" Such would be the exclamation ; and those who have been taught by influential friends , by habit , uythe . lress , and by the constant outpourings of aristocratic and middle-class virulence , to look upon Chartism as a monstrosity , and its adherents as brigands , would rush to array themselves under the standard of the same doctrines with another name .

      DEATH OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER . On Sunday last , a London Gazette Extraordinary was issued announcing the death of the Queen Adelaide , the Consort of tho late William the Fourth m the following terms : — • • . . Whitehall , December 2 nd , 1819 . This morning , at seven minutes before two o ' clock , her Majesty the Queen Dowager departed this life , at Stanmore 1 'riory , to the great grief of her Majesty and of all the Royal family , after a long and protracted illness , which she tore with exemplary patience . The loss of tliis most exceUent princess will be deeply mourned by all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , to whom her many eminent virtues rendered her the object of universal esteem and aft ' ection . Most of the deceased Princess ' s relatives were

      resident in the Priory at the time of her death , that event having been expected for Borne time back . Expresses were immediately afterwards forwarded to the Queen and the other members of the Royal Family , as well as to the Lord Mayor of London , and the great bell of St . Paul ' s was tolled , as customary , upon such occasions . We abridge the following biographical notice from the Times and Daily News : — " The late Queen Dowager was the daughter of one of the petty Princes of Germany . Saxe-Mcinin-Sen is veiy nearly the smallest State in Europe , not half the size of an English count y , with a metropolis consisting of about GOO houses . George , the late reigning Duke of that miniature sovereignty , espoused a daughter of the House of Hohenlohe-Langenburgh ; their eldest daughter was the Princess

      wno nas resided amongst us for thirty years . The late Queen Dowager Amelia Adelaide Louisa Theresa Carolina was bom on the 13 th of August , 1792 , a period of much anxiety to all Sovereign Princes and their families . In the year 1803 her father died , the Princess Adelaide being then only eleven years of age , while her brother and sister ¦ w ere both younger still . To the guardianship of their mother , the dowager Duchess , those youthful descendants of the House of Saxe-Meiningen were of course confided . They received their education in comparative retirement , especially the two Princesses . The early yeavs of the Princess Adelaide were passed alternately at the ducal palace in the capital city of Meiningen , and at the castle of Altenstein , a country residence , where the reigning famil accustomed

      y were to spend the summer montlis . Her late Majesty Queen Charlotte—the mother of King William IV . —being herself the daughter of one who ruled a little German State , took a natural interest in all who belonged to her own order , and it so happened that while tho Princess Adelaide was yet in early youth the fame of her discretion and hev virtues reached the English Court . To the grief of this nation the Princess Charlotte of Wales arid her infant child were , in the month of Uovember , ' 18 l 7 , consigned to the tomb ; the . Regent was childless ; and four of the Royal Dukes , Clarence , Kent , Cambridge , and Gloucester —though all advanced in life—resolved forthwith to contract matrimonial alliances . The late Duke of York being married and without issue , it was

      naturally considered that the descendants of the Duke of Clarence , if he should marry , would stand next in succession to the throne . At the especial instance of Queen Charlotte he solicited the hand of the Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen , and his suit was successful , " for seldom Princes sue in vain . " The preliminaries of their union , having been settled in London , and at Meiningen by Plenipotentaries on both sides , and the Regent in council haying signified his assent , the young German Princess , in the twenty-sixth year of her age , quitted her fatherland to espouse an elderl y gentleman of fifty-three . Her Serene Highness , accompanied by her mother , and attended by a numerous suite , arrived in London on the 4 th of July , 1818 , and took up her temporary abode at Grillon ' a Hotel

      whither the Regent and the Duke of Clarence immediately went to greet hev arrival , though the hour was as late as ten o ' clock at ni ght . On the 9 th of the same month the Princess was presented to Queen Charlotte , and on the 18 th her marriage took place , The Duke and Duchess of Kent had previously been married at Leiningen ; but as it was deemed . expedient . that they should be re-married in England , their . Royal Highnesses paid a short visit to this country for that purpose , and their second nuptials took place at Kew upon the day that the Duke and Duchess of Clarence were married ; the same ceremony serving to unite both brothers to their respective consorts . At these Royal weddings there was nothing of the state or splendour which has marked similar events in more

      recent times , the only persons present being the members of the Royal Family , the Lord Chancellor the Earl of Liverpool , Lord SidmoutU , and the necessary registrars . This double marriao'e was solemnised b y the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted by the Bishop of London ; the ceremony took place at three o ' clock in the afternoon the moment it was over the two Prelates and the three Ministers of State took their departure , in the evening the Duke and Duchess of Clarence drove up to ht . James ' s Palace , where they remained only a few days , and then proceeded for a short nfc % n ° ^ ° D ke ' residence at Bushy Park . S ?« i 5 ? ya V ^ T * soon after came to the lesolution ofspendmg sometimoon the continent , and , accompanied by the Duchoss . h » c > mhn * oi \ « t

      Dover in less than three weeks after his marriage , and proceeded by way of Calais travelled onwards Hanover , After the lapse of a year the Duke and Duchess returned to England , from that time forward residing chiefly at Bushy-park . . . However happy this union with the Princess Adelaide may have been , the hopes with which it was formed were in one respect disappointed ; He had no heir , one child only , the Princess Elizabeth , naving been borne alire , and she was committed to T ? £ & ? a very fcw months after hor birth . With the exception of two visits to Germany , ono in the year 1822 , and the other in 1825 , it cannot be

      said that the life of the Duchess of Clarence was much varied ; but this apparent absence of exciting pursuits resulted not from incapicity of enjoyment , but partly from ill-health , and somewhat , also , from prudential considerations . In the comparative privacy of Bushy-park , therefore , sho would have been abundantl y happy but for the feeble state of her constitution , which even then gave warning of the premature old age that lias prevented her reaching the ordinary limit of human existence . Since her marriage twelve years had elapsed and her Royal Highness was still Duchess of Clarence ; on the 20 th of June , 1 S 30 , she became Queen of England . "On the 1 st of August , 1831 the Queen assisted her Royal Consort in opening New London-bridge ,

      and on tho day following a bill" received the royal , assent granting in the event of Queen Adelaide sur- Jiving the King a provision of £ 100 , 000 per , annum forhfe . Bushy-park and Marlborough' House to be assigned as residences for . her Majesty during life . On the 8 th of September , in the same year , the coronation of the late King and Queen Adelaide too ( pace at' Westminster Abbey . In accordance with the wishes of their . Majesties , - tho ceremonial was shorn of the extravagant paeeantry and chivalnc absurdities which distinguished that of the previous sovereign , yet the inauguration was im . posing and not attended by an enormouse expense . In November ( the loth ) much public consternation was occasioned by the dismissal of the

      Melugu uu immsiry by the . lung , and owin < r to the public insinuation that the Queen had influenced his Majesty in the dissolution of the Whig administratl 01 i > she / or . the only time in her life suffered in popular favour . T "The spring of 1837 was one of mourning . The Queen Adelaide received the information of the demise of her mother , on the 20 th of April , having attained tho age of sixty-eight years . "Beforethe Queen had recovered from that bereavement , the fatal illness of the late King commenced ; symptoms which indicated organic disease of the heart became perceptible , and of a nature never likely to yield , to medical treatment In reference to the conduct of that illustrious ladj during the trying illness of the lato Kintr . the lato

      Archbishop of Canterbury , at a charitable meeting held shortly after tho decease of the King , said that ' For three weeks prior to his dissolution , the Queen sat by his bedside , pevfovming foi > bim every office which . 1 sick man could require , and depriving herself of all manner of rest and refection ; sheuif . derwent labours which I thought no ordinary woman could endure ; no language can do justice to her meekness , and to the calmness of mind ' which she sought to preserve before- the King ; while sorrow was preying on her heart ; suoh constancy of affection , I think , was one of the most interesting spectacles that could bo presented to a mind desiring to be gratified b y the sight of human excellence . The King expired in the arms of his ey .

      emplary and faithful partner . "During the last seven or eight years Queen Adelaide s health—never good—nas been rapidly declining , and even before the death of the King she found freguent change of residence necessary to the preservation of life . Soon after her accession to the throne she visited Germany , on that occasion travelling incognita under the title of Duchess of Lancaster ; and , as well before as during her widowhood , she has been more accustomed to migration than even the most restless members of tho higher and wealthier classes in this country , for to her repeated variation of abode had long been a matter more of necessity than of choice , ner Majesty has visited not only many parts of England and the

      continent , but also the islands of Madeira and Malta ; at the latter place the ' church , of Yaktta was foundod and endowed by her munificence . She likewise contributed to almost every public charity , and to the funds of nearly all the societies engaged in the advancement of religion , amongst which are the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts , the Colonial Bishopric Fund , the Sons of the Clergy , the churches in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland , the Emigrants Episeopial Fund , the churches in Australia and Cape Town ; the cathedral at Adelaide , and that also at Newfoundland the London Diocesan Board of Education , the Raggod Schools Fund , the National Society , the Christian Knowledge Society , the Church Buildino Snnipt . v

      the Church Missionary Society , the Metropolis Churches Fund . It was the practice also of her Majesty to subscribe largely to all the charities in every p lace where shehappened even for a time to reside . Tho latter part of her life was one long disease . During tho last two or three months her Majesty was so grievously indisposed as hardlv ever to have quitted her private apartments . Shortly before she expired all suffering seemed to cease , and she retained to the last perfect composure of mind . " A Supplementary Qaiette , published on Monday ordered the omission , in future , of the prayer for the Queen Dowager wherever it occurs in the Book of Common Prayer . We have reason to believe that the usual ceremony of "lying in state" will be dispensed with , for the first time during many centuries , in the case of her late Maieatv tha Onnen Ttnwno ** u

      appears that an objection exists to tho ceremony taking place at Bentlcy Priory in consequence of that mansion not being Royal property . The removal of the late Queen ' 3 remains to London for the purpose is also thought undesirable on many accounts , not the least of which is said to be the great risk of accident from the rush of spectators who would inevitabl y endeavour to obtain admission to the ceremony . Another deviation from the usual custom with deceased members of the Royal family is the omission of the process of embalming the bedy , which has been dispensed with by express desire of her late lamented Majesty . The second coffin , which is lined throughout with lead , was sent down to Stanmore on "Wednesday . The funeral , it is generally supposed , will take place at Windsor on Saturday , the' loth inBt ., in a most private manner . ¦

He was visited by a f victim of a proof reader , ' " who addressed himself to iho editor as follows : — " Two years ago I was in love . I was jilted . Hang details ; the upshot is the main thing . Well , I had tried the young lady and found her wanting ; and I thought I would quote a line of Scri pture unto her , as a motto for some bitter and reproachful verses . " . So holding a manuscript in one hand high up , and placing the other arm a-kimbo , he road as follows : —

      " to oxb fouxd wanting . " ifene , niene , tekcl , upharsin !"—Scripture " Thou art no more , what once I knew Thy heart' and guileless tongue to be ; Thou art no longer pure and true , Nor fond , to one who knelt to tuee ; Who knelt , and deemed thee all his own , Nor knew a dearer wish beside ; "Who made his trembling passion knovfa , And looked to own thee for a bride . What is the . vow that once I heard From those balm-breathing lips of thine 1 Broken , ah ! broken , word by werd , E ' en while I worshipped at thy shrine ! Broken by thee , to whom I bowed , As bends the wild-flower to the breeze , As bent the Chaldeen , through the cloud , To Orion and the Pleiades .

      But th ' ou art lost ! and I no more . Must drink thy undeceiving glance ; Our thousand fondling spells are o ' er—Our raptured moments in the dance , Yanishod , like" dow-drops from the spray , Are moments which in beauty flew ; I cast life ' s brightest pearl away , And false one breathe my last adieu !" Hero he stopped—his grey eyes rolling in a wild frenzy—and drew , a newspaper from his breeches pocket . v . Sir , " said he , striking an attitude , " I sent them versos-for to be printed into the Litcranj Sttam-bout and General Western Alligator . It is a paper , sir , with immense circulation . A column in it , to be read by the boatsmen and raftsmen of the west , is immortality . I say nothing . Just see how my effusion was butchered . I can ' t read it . . I took the paper , a little yellow six-by-oight folio , and read thus .

" What is the row ? ' what once I heard From those browbeating limps of thine ?

      The Vxbridge Spirit of Freedom . Conducted byWokkingMen . December . London : J . Watson , Queen ' s-head Passage , Paternoster-row . " Why has the cause of the People not triumphed ? " " The Condition of the Labourer , " " The People ' s living MartyrB , " and " Foes > to Progress , " are the titles of the principal contents of this number of the Spirit of Freedom . From the first named we give the following extract : — EFFECTS OP " MODERATION . "

      What a mournful scene the world presents today ! Tho torch of liberty has for awhile been drowned in the waters of the Danube and the blood of our brothers ; many a true heart lies quenched in death ; many a noble champion of the people is in exile , and in prison . Milan has been trodden beneath the iron heel of Radetski ; Berlin wears the gyves and fetters almost as tightly as of old ; Hungary lies crushed and bleeding ; where the young life of Italy bleed so purely , and so free , those soulstrangling thugs , the Cardinals , are reigning rampantly , with their inquisition of tortures ; and , all over the continent , proscription and carnage are completing the bloody tragedy . Let us enquire how it is that ' the cause of tho people hasnot triumphed ?

      Why have our great and glorious hopes set in blood ? Our enemies will tell us that Republicanism is a failure—they will sura up the cost of revolution and ask . you with a sneering chuckle , what have the people gained by the suffrage ? Trade , say they , is destroyed , and the poor are poorer ! Babblers , go hush your miserable sophistry—the people only made half a revolution , thereby digging the grave of their own liberties . Had the people of France , with theiroppressorsat their feet , effectually fettered the reactionaries , and rendered them helpless till Vie deliverance o f the whole people had been wivught out

      where then would have been your taunts and sneers ? And why should they not be fettered and timed ? Think of the atrocity of their crimesthink of the millions slain in hulks , bastiles , factories , and mines—slain by these traffickers in blood , in religion ' s name , each of whom may be dear to us , as the blood that warms the heart of a beggarly aristocrat . - . We observe an announcement that a new and enlarged series of the Spirit of Freedom will be commenced on the 1 st of January , 1850 . We are g lad to note the successful progress of these cheap Democratic publications .

We notice several good articles in this number of the Processionist , particularly one on the late trials at "Versailles , from -which we extract the following spirited observations : — THE TRESCH DESPOTISM . The men tried at Versailles are some of those who are accused of having combined to " destroy the government on the 13 th of June .. The counselfor our brethren wished to plead the right of the people to insurrection , but were not allowed ; they walked out of court arid our brethren ' were undefended—and this occurred in France , Republican France France—the land where millions have given up their , heart ' s blood to fonud immortal liberty ! In

      France the constitution can be violated by the ministers with impunity—the will of a nation can be set at defiance by one man , and a few traitors , who have been elevated to power by the people . Men who protested against such violation are thrown into prison , and when on their trial are not allowed to plead their right to insurrection against tyrants who have not respected the laws , but broken them , and violated the constitution . If this be French liberty and French republicanism , let me be for ever subject to English despotism , and oligarchial power . " however hateful , it is infinitely Dreferable to such a swindle as the French constitution Thev have no constitution but such as Spolcon chose to allow them - , O Frenchmen ! by all vour past struggles for liberty-by your undying love of fatherland-by your attachment to free mstitutions-andby your hatred of oppresswn-we

      Ke Operatives' Free Press . Conducted by WorkingMex . December . Cambridge : . J . Nichols , Fitzroy-square . London : J . Watson , Queen ' s-head Passage , Paternoster-row . Tms number of the Free Press contains articles on " The Closing Year , " " The National Reform League , " "Tho Labour Question , " &c ., &c . From an article on "Man ' s Mission" we extract tho followiug sensible argument in favour of the EIGHT OF THE OPPRESSED TO OVERTHROW ' OPPRESSORS .

      If a thief meets us on the highway and demand " money or life , " we arc not very particular as to the means we use , so long as we succeed in overpowering him , and this is unquestionably right . Ascending higher in the scale , if it is right to combat the thief who would take from us that to which he has no right , it is also a duty and a virtue to oppose our strength and influence against the powers of wrong and injustice , wherever they exJ 8 t . It matters very little whether the thief and oppresser be on Hounslow Heath , or in the region of Westminster , our duty is tho same . He must be put down , " or else we must submit . Even governments aro not—or should not 6 &-exempt from this law . A government should exercise authority and influeuce for the benefit of" the people whose servant it is ; and , when we see it dealing justly and impartially to all , it is our bounderi duty to respect and support it . But when a government forgets its duties to the people , demanding " money or life , " the people are unquestionably justified in seeking the overthrow of that government , and in using every means in their power to effect it .

      This publication , too , will be enlarged on the 1 st of January . The under-current of Democratic progress is evidently making headway .

      Reynolds ' s Political Instructor . Edited by Gr . W . M . Reynolds . Part I . London : J . Dicks , Wellington Street North , Strand . The first monthly part of this exceedingly cheap and good pennyworth of political information folly justifies the praise we bestowed on the first number . The articles by the Editor and his several contributors are first-fate , both as regards the principles advocated , and the ability displayed by the writers . " A New History of England , " together with histories of " The - Aristocracy ,- ' and " Human Slavery , " are invaluable contributions to the good work of popular enlightenment . The other contributions on political and social questions are too numerous to specify . We give the following extracts from two articles by the editor : —

      A LESSON FOB THB PEorLE . When we see thousands and thousands collecting to behold the ginger-bread pageantry of Lord Mayor s Day , and the feudal splendour of a young German Prince who has been fortunate enough to become" the Queen ' s husband , and to whom the people are unfortunate e nough to have to pay about £ 47 , 000 a year , independently of his royal wife ' s immense revenue , —when we remember that these traditionary specimens of barbaric mummery would not be persisted iu at all , were it not for the species of enthusiasm that appears to welcome their appearance , —and when we recollect that they would sink into utter insignificance and perish of pure inanition were the people to display a rational spirit bv

      remaming away from them , —we really think that it is the fault of the millions themselves if common sense be thus insulted by the donkeyism of Lord ' s Mayor ' s Day and the flunkeyism of princely processions . But so long as such spectacles shall have the power of inspiring the multitudes with a childish delight , how could we be surprised if the youth of nineteen or twenty should suddenly leave his father s table to indulge in a game ofmarbles ? And were such a thing known to happen , every one would exclaim in mingled disgust and pity , " You will never make a man of one whose mind is so thoroughly childish ! " Yet those persons of mature years who flock to feast their eyes upon the despicable nonsense of a Lord Mayor ' s Show or the sraud

      and glitter of a Prince ' s procession , are equally liable to have the strength of their minds and the solidity of their intelligence very grievously suspected . . Let it however be observed that the middleclasses are even more childish and puerile in these respects than many of the working-classes . 1 ' our middle-class man will run a mile to see a lord—a real , living lord ;—arid if the said lord , should only enter his shop , he will talk of the incident for a year afterwards . The men who are the heroes of the tom-foolery of Lord Mayor ' s Day and Vrho don their Sunday ' s best to give a Prince what they call " a fitting welcome , " likewise belong to the middleclass . The Lord Mayor is a member of that class the individuals forming the' committee for the opening of the Coal Exchange were members of that class;—and at ail such exhibitions the wealthy merchants and chiefs of the shopocracy are sure to

      have a finger in the management and arrangements . Then , what of the aristocracy ? "Why , at the public strangulation of the Mannings , there were present numerous scions of that oligarchical class . One " noble lord " paid ten guineas for a seat and drove down in his cab at six o ' clock on the fatal morning , alighting in Qreafc Suffolk-street , and repairing on foot to the house where " a window" was reserved for his special behoof . Another " noble lord " entertained seven or eight " honourables" at a champage breakfast in a public-house commanding a view of the hideous scene ;—and " gentlemen of fashion" were as plentiful on the occasion as " gentlemen of the swellmob . " Thus did the representatives and scions of the immaculate aristocracy mingle with the multitudes whom , on their return to their Clubs , they denounced as "the rabble , "the " riff-raff , " " the nnwashed , " &c . &q .

      Now , what is the lesson , that these facts should teach the working-classes ? That they would in future do well to abstain from visiting either sights of pomp or sights of horror . By acting in this manner , they will show their intelligence ; in the one sense and their humanity in tho other . Do the people wish to put an end to trumpery raree-shews and the false , hollow , and barbarian splendour which only Btands out in more tremendous contrast with the rags , squalor , and destitution of the sons . and daughters of toil ? Do the people wish

      to put an end to the punishment of death and all its demoralising influences upon society ? I am certain that tho response to both queries is in the affirmative . Then , let the people abstain from gathering in crowds to gaze open-mouthed upon the tinsel shows which ought to be despised , and the barbarian scenes which ought to be execrated . By adopting this course , they , will prove tkat their intelligence , and their humanity are alike in advance of the intelligence and humanity of the upper jjnd middle-classes .

      CHARTISM . Where is the element of disorder in this system ? —how does it merit to be held up as a bugbear ?—why do the Government and the press denounce it ? Because the six principles whereon Chartism is based — or rather , which constitute Chartism—are the subline effluence of Tro th ; and Thutii is dreaded by those who fatten upon therotteness of political institutions and the corruption of vitiated society . The Government denounces Chartism , because that Government belongs to the Aristocracy and not to the people—because it springsfrom an oligarchy and not from the nation ;—and the Press denounces Chartism , because the newspapers , with a few glorious exceptions , are either subsidized by the

      Government , or are the property of men belonging to those classes which have usurped all rights , all privileges , and all powers . Thus the world has been viewing Chartism through a false medium ; and the consequence is that many persons who are naturally well-disposed and even of liberal tendencies , have been tau ght to look upon Chartism with abhorrence . It has been the study , because it has been the interest , of the Government to throw all possible odium upon Chartism ; and the newspaper organs have artfully contrived , while seconding that view , to associate all infamy , all horror , and all ideas of spoliation , with the names of Chartism and Chartists , carefully avoiding all calm and dispassionate discussion of the principles . A scented , kid-gloved , and white-waiscpated aristocratic Member of Parliament would as soon bo accused of having brought the pestilence with him from Cairo , as of being

      a Chartist ; and yet this man might possibly hold the very , doctrines enunciated by Chartism , if he were intelligent enough to think for himself , and honest enough to avow the result of his thinking . A millocrat will say to his overlooker , ' " We wfil have no Chartists in our factory ;"—and a rich West-end tailor or linen-draper , who keeps his carriage would discharge his groom or his footman , if he were to overhear either one whispering to his fellow servants a confession that he was a Chartist . Thus , my doar reai ' ei-s , yeu perceive that the slur is thrown upon the name , andnotuponthejt > rine ?)>?

      Tub Guards and the Lisu .-The Skc h relates the following . — " A circumstance took place a short time since in one of our central cities which will furnish matter for a new chapter in the celebrated tribulation of the National Guard . A citizen soldier on coming to the guard-house in the evening , found that he had forgotten his kepi ( foraging cap ) H « demanded permission from his officer to go home and seek this necessary appendage , in order to protect his head from the cold during the night . The officer , however , who knew the difficulty of again collecting his flock when once they were allowed to stray ironi the fold , refused , but told him that as a patrol would probably have to pass bis house he might avail himself of that opportunity to fetch the article . The honest citizen was compelled to resi

      gn himself to this decision , and at the appointed hour started with the patrol . On reaching his house he requested his comrades to halt , and gave a loud knock at the door . It was for some time unanswered , but at length a window was open , and the voice of his young and pretty better half demanded who it was that thus demanded admission The husband insisted that she should open the door without delay , but to this she made a thousand objections—it was late , she had no light , and moreover it was cold to come down . The husband insisted , and became angry , hut at length yielded to tho arguments of his lair spouse , and requested her to throw him his Jcepi . She retired from the window , and in a moment returned and throw the object in question to her lord and master . He

      pocketed it , and marched off . On tho rounds of the patrol being finished , they returned to the guard house , when our hero took the tepi from his pocket and prepared to make himself comfortable , but no sooner had he seated himself by the fire , and begun to compose himself for a nap , than his comrades begun to laugh . On demanding the cause of their merriment one of them said , " Why , my dear how many campaigns have you made that you should have so suddenly been made an officer ? " "I an officer ! " said he ; " what do you mean ? you see by my worsted epaulettes that I am only a simple chasseur . " " It would appear , however , ' ' by your kepi , " said bis tormentor , " that you are a captain m the regiment of the line . " " In the line !" said the husband , " what a stupid ioke . " " Parhhi ^

      why then look at your kepi , and you will seo that what I say is true . " The unfortunate husband took tho kepi from his head , and there found tho cause of the disinclination of his spouse to let him into the house . The iepi was that of tho captain in a regiment in garrison in the town . The suite of tho affair may be divined . The husband ran mth all speed to his house ; he found his wife alone who accused him loudly of calumniating innocence Nevertheless , a trial and a judicial separation have been , it was said , tho result of tho adventure . Combat with a Tiger . —Battavia , Sept . 29 — From the Residency , Rom * mng , a communication nas been received of a rare instance of tho intrepidity of a native , which has been crowned with an extraordinary fortunate result . This nativenamed

      , Wiro Dipo , went at nine o ' clock in the morning of the 1 st of August to the forest situate near the Dessa Dagan , intending to search for . Areen leaves to make mats of ; and fie had provided himself with a hatchet fit to lut grass and light wood . Shortly after his ontra ce into the forest , he discovered at a short distance behind him , a tiger of the largest kind ready to spring upon him . Without awaiting tho leap , Wiro Dipo himself attacked tho monster , and gave him somp wounds with his lieht weapon , which caused the tiger to fall down roaring dragging his assailant down with him ; but the last succeeded in raising himself , and in giving a

      number of blows to the tiger , who expired under them . Wiro Dipo came without any wound out of this battle , and it is believed that this nearl y inexplicable circumstance may be ascribed to the rapidity and intrepidity with which Wire Dipo anticipated the leap of the tiger , and to the fear which thus must have caused to the tiger , the timorous as well as cruel nature of this kind of animal being sufficiently known . The skin of the tiger was measured afterwards , and it was then found that its length from the nose to the beginning of the tail was five feet two inches , and including the tail eight feet five and a half inches .

      A Government C « ntribctioX TO SCIENCE . — A letter has been addressed to tuo council by Lord John Russell , offering to place at the disposal of the Royal Society , for scientific purposes , this year , £ 1 , 000 , and probably the same amount in successive years . It is quite unnecessary for us to say , that the offer has been accepted . Governments subsidies to Scienco and her sisters are not sufficiently numerous to make an announcement like this uninteresting to our readers . The money given is not tho sole good : the measure marks progress , while it aids it . —Alhenwum .
