'After a loHg silence we again welcome—most hpartil y Welcome—1 MB delightful Authoress , who comes before us with one of those heart-stirring , soul-excitiug Tales , that none but herself can produce . When we say that the Tbuls of Love equals anything that this fascinating writer has yet produced , we are uttering the highest praise that can be given . ' We rise from the perusal of this delightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain . The early part of the volume , which details the sad history of Amy Mortimer , excites the sympathy of the reader to a painful degree . The hapless girl , friendless and enthusiastic , form 3 an imprudent union , from which springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress works into a narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately ends , we must confess that regret for the fate of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling in our mind at the close of this most interesting tale . ' ' Welcome as the flowers in spring is a new work by Hannah Mabia Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the public is indebted for so large a share « f innocent and moral reading as to Hannah Maria Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are delineated , this Authoress never loses sight of the moral which it is her object to inculcate . The steps of Amy Uortimer—surrounded as she is by temptations and difficulties , and great as are some of the errors into which her youth and inexperience lead her—never once depart from the straight path of duty , and she makes her election to ' do that which is right , ' although her so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . ' « After the deluge of trash- ^ the out pourings of diseased and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of these latter times , it is truly refreshing to meet -with another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales , which have Uiren a world-wide reputation to the name of Bannah Maria Jones . After a long silence she comes before us with all her early freshness unimpaired , and in lier last work— The Twits of Lote—still manifest all those high qualities of head and heart which have endeared her to her readers , and have elevated her above all other fvriters , as one whose every production is replete with truth , gentleness , and sensibility .

      THREATENED STRIKE OF COAL WHIPPERS . Among the memorable events of the memorable tenth of April , there was one over which the Home Secretary , the Press , and the ' Special Constable' class , united in laudation and , mutual congratulations . True it was that Keuningtou Common was crowded ou that day by tens of thousands of Chartists ; but then the Coal Whippers of the Port of London had enrolled themselves in a body as Special Constables . ' There was no fear for

      our institutions , so Jong as bonafide hard working men came forward , en masse , in their defence , against a mere mob of turbulent , unruly , unreasonable , and discontented Chartists , who , by a strange perversion of intellect , did not know when they were well off . Many a time since then have we heard the orators of the Coal Whippers at meetings , by the Banks of the Thames , point to that exhibition of their exuberant loyalty with pride and exultation , and declave how ready and anxious they were to put down these disaffected Chartists , had their services been called for . Many a time

      have we listened to the applauding cheers which greeted these declarations . But it ap . pears of late , a change has come over ' the spirit of their dream . ' The loyal ex-S peciala hare forsaken the truncheon , emblem of civic authority and powers , and embarked in an agitation , in which they treat « tL o powers that be ' most disparagingly—nay , their grievances have made some of them so * disloyal ' that they even talk of bringing « their power to bear on the House of Commons , ' with other phrases that seem to us very like quotations from old Chartist speeches . What has effected this marvellous tranafor

      watipn ? , The same causes whioh have prodnced discontent and disaffection among other sections of the industrious , classes . The aggresBiona of selfish Capitalists , and the exposure of their class to a reckless , dishonest and unprincipled competition , the sole end of which is to reduce the wages hitherto paid for their labour . ^

      Their story is aI short , but an exceedingly instructive one . Twenty years ago , there was no regular system or organisation among the Coal Whippers . Their occupation is one exceedingly variable and irregular in its nature , depending greatly upon ' the way the wind blows , ' A fair one kings a fleet of Colliers into the pool , and forthwith trade becomes brisk— -Coal Whippers rise to a premium . An adverse wind keeps the colliers beating about the mouth of the Thames , and whippers are at a discount . This irregularity brought into existence a class of middlemen of the

      worat description . The publicans who had houses by the river side helped the whippers who lounged about them during the slack times . The shippers applied , to these publicans when they wanted men , —they , in turn , employed none but those who were regular customers ; and , as the wages were always paid at these houses , the greater part , sometimes the whole of them , were spent in drink . The Coal Whippers were , therefore , always in debt to the publicans , who supplied them scantily with necessaries when they were out of work ; and the consequence was , that in spite of high wages when they were employed , they were a drunken ,, disorderly , and poverty-stricken body of men .

      The evil grew to such a height that legislative interference was deemed necessary . At the time it took place , the devil's doctrine of 1 Let alone' had not obtained the ascendancy in Parliament and in the Cabinet it has since . There were still some remains of the stupid old prejudice in favour of bringing intelligence and forethought to the regulation and controul of human , affairs . The new fangled philosophy of letting them drift rudderless , exposed to the mercy of every passing breezethe variable shifting of every tide on a sea of

      selfish competition—was still a theory , though rapidly ripening into a policy . The Legislature of the day took ' their stand in the old ways '—they formed an elaborate machinery for regulating the employment of Coal Whippers—the men were all registered—registered men had a preference by law , and , until they were employed , no other parties could be engaged to discharge cargoes of coal in the Thames . There was no hardship in

      this either to the owners and buyers of these cargoes , or to other labouring men , —it fixed a price per ton , amounting to a comparatively trifling per centage on the whole cost of the article—protected the shipper or buyer against overcharge ; while , any one who was willing to comply with the regulations of the Coal Whipping Act , and the rules of the Coal Whippers for their internal Government , could become a member of the body .

      The result was , that the publicans who had formerl y lived by plundering the Coal TThippers were speedily deprived of the power they had so frightfully abused . The habits , the morals , and the manners of the Coal Whippers rapidly improved from the moment they were liberated from the old debasing and depraved bondage . They were placed in a position to spend their own fairly and hardly earned wages , and were , as we have seen , in 1848 , among the foremost supporters of Order , ' when it was supposed to be in danger . That it never was in danger—never for a moment

      even menaced by the Chartists—that the whole affair was a ' raw head and bloody boneB * story , dressed up by the Government , the Press , and the police , for the purpose of producing a panic among the upper and middle classes , and enabling them , by such infamous and disgraceful means , to refuse the concession of ust and necessary constitutional reformsdoes not , in the slightest degree , invalidate the good faith of the Coal Whippers . They believed tbafc the system which protected them , and insured them a fair reward for their toil , was in danger , and they came forward in its defence .

      But , fashionable Political Economy and modern competition have small respect for Such antiquated things as loyalty or attachment to national institutions . Whether the Coal Whippers are contented or not is a matter of not the smallest consequence , compared with the saving of a quarter of a farthing per hundred-weight in the delivery of coals from vessels in the Thames . To save a quarter of a farthing the school of Melchisidec , Isaacs , and Co ., would have no hesitation in making ' eternal smash' of all institutions and 'constitutions ' in the world . Religion , Morality , Legality , Patriotism—all are comprised in the

      two magic words ' per centage . " It is high treason against Mammon to find any body of working men who dare to call either their souls or bodies their own—or refuse to submit to such conditions as Messrs . Slop , Gkaspall , and Chicanery , choose to dictate in reference to wages . Hence , when the Coal Whipping Act , under which such beneficial changes had been effected , was about to expire , and its renewal was a sked last session , the Free Trade and ' Devil take the Hindmost * party in Parliament vigorously opposed such a heterodox piece of legislation . Messrs . Labouchere and Gladstone exerted themselves to the

      utmost to maintain the old position of the Coal Whippers , but in vain . Instead of procuring a perpetuation and extension of the arrangements , which experience had demonstrated to be so valuable , the bill waB greatly altered by a Select Committee . Instead of being made permanent , it was made a temporary measure ; all the additional powers were refused , and clauses were intro duced , the express object of which was to furnish loop-holes h whih tho

      throug c se , who have long been endeavouring to bvealt in upon the Coal "Whi ppers and beat down the price of labour , could effect their purpose . Instead of confining the occupation to registered Coal Whippers , purchasers were empowered to employ ' their own servants , ' without giving the registered men priority , at the prices they may please to pay these ' servants . ' We need not describe the consequences in detail . The barriers which

      fenced in the Whippers from reckless competition have 6 eon already broken down ; wages have been largely reduced , aud seeing nothing but complete ruin , starvation , and misery bofore them , the Coal Whi ppers have commenced a vigorous counter-movement , in which they invoke the aid of all the labourers connected with the coal trade of the port of London . They threaten a strike , not merely for the maintenance of existing prices , but for higher wages , and warn the shippers that the stoppage of a single day ' s traffic on the Thames will give their rivals , the Railway SaMMTia . i'rfi : — r

      WAR WITH THE POPE AND DESPOTISM . A great and sweeping revolution advances with great strides upon the continent . It may commence next week , or next month , or be deferred by circumstances till next year but the forces are mustering , the materials of warfare are provided , the train is laid , and but waits for the igniting spark to caiwe a tin ] Veraal explosion over Europe . We know not , and need not know , anything of any conspiracies or plots against existing governments , to enable us to state this . Tha

      immense armies collected by these governments —the wild fury with which * in their panic-fear , they strike at the people in all directions , and trample on the honest and noblest instincts of humanity , are warrant sufficient for the truth of the statement . If Mazzini , Kossuth , and Ledru Rollin wera in their graves to-morrow , the revolution would not be le&s certain , its object not less clearly defined , its result not less

      to be depended upon . The despots have banded themselves against God as developed in his highest work , Humanity—they cannot eradicate its instincts any more than they can pluck the sun from its course . In their mad and insensate career , therefore , they have engaged in a warfare in which armies can be of no ultimate service . They can provoke but not overcome resistance , and successful

      resistance meanB destruction to those who have provoked it . They have sown the wind , and they must reap the whirlwind . What part shall England take in the approachiug contest between the two contending principles of Liberty and Authority ? That is a momentous question which it is time was asked and answered by the people of this couu . iry . We know there is a large and influential party that will straightway reply— ' Neutrality : let us leave foreign nations to settle their own internal affairs . The policy of nonintervention is the true policy of Great Britain . ' There might have been a time when

      such was its true policy , but that time has certainly now passed away . We cannot sever ourselves from the continent in these days of team ships , railways , and electric telegraphs . We are insular nolonger , but part and parcel of the great family of European nations , aDd must suffer or prosper with them . Paris and London are cloBer to each other to-day than Birmingham and London were fifteen years ago . Think of the revolution implied in that single fact ! Ponder its consequences ; feel how closely we are bound to the destinies of other European peoyles , and say whether it is possible for us to be neutral without sacrificing all that is dearest and most precious to a na

      tion . But , indeed , the question is not left wholly to our own decision . Already have we been assailed by the crafty and aggressive despots in the pursuit of their scheme of universal domination ,, and that , too , in the most wily and effectual shape . To have provoked open hostilities with a nation , whose treasures and whose courage mainly defeated Napoleon ' s scheme of universal Empire , would have marred the object they had in view . The pride and the anger of John Bull would have

      been aroused , and in tho struggle Despotism must inevitably have gone to the wall . But the cunning conspirators against national liberty knew better than to make a demonstration whiehshould have such an effect as this . The material aspects of aggressive tyranny have , therefore , been carefully masked , and a more potent weapon employed for the two-fold purpose of distracting our attention , while they pursue their relentless and deadly policy on the continent , and of rendering us an easier prey in the event of their success .

      No one who has given careful attention to the subject can doubt that the Papal Bull , by which a new Hierarchy was created in this conntrv , claiming territorial titles and jurisdiction , was a movement of the Absolutist powers for the objects we have stated . That the heads of the Romish Church had the reestablishment of their ecclesiastical power , and the restoration of the ancient faith directly in their view , does not militate against the fact .

      It is an old maxim of Kingcraft , to make men and corporate bodies tools , through the instrumentality of their passions , prejudices , wants , or ambition , and in inciting the Pope to attempt the spiritual re-conquest of England ; while they flattered and gratified a not unnatural passion of the ' Holy Sgg * they at the saino time silentl y but surely sent forth an advanced guard for promoting their ulterior objectsnamely , the utter extinction of Constitutional

      Government , in the whole of Europe , aud the setting up of an uncontrolled and irresponsible tyranny in the hands of a few families—crowned brigands who are to parcel out among themselves uatioua as the spoils of their crusade against Liberty and Humanity . And we have fallen into the trap thus cun ningly set for us . For a whole year , meu of all parties and creed 3 have raved , and spoute d and written about ' Papal Aggression , ' and Parliament devoted to a foolish aiid futile bill

      the whole of its sittings . But the ' Aggros sion' is not put down . The obnoxious titles . ire not placed in aheyance , the interference of those who wear them , not only with matters of faith , but with euch grave and important temporal and secular questions as the education of the people and the insitutions established by the Legislature for that purpose , are too palpable and real . If ' Paul C uueS > Archbishop of Armagh and Primato of a 11

      Ireland , ' has his own way , Ireland will soon ho placed on a level with Naples and E ° nie in the matter of education , and in its facilities for the diffusion of political and general iuf ° mation . Well , indeed , was the scheme con cocted which prepared the way for bodily slavery , by the previous introduction of meiita 1 darkness aiid submission to the imp ious assumptions of a bigotted and ambitious priesthood .

      With the faith of the members of the Roman Catholic Church , as such , we do not meddle . The sincere and devout believers ifl its creed and rituals have the right to entertain that faith , and to worship God in ""? manner that is most consonant with their own convictions . It is with that Church as a political instrument in the hands of despotic intriguers against Human ;! Progress an < j to

      National Freedom alone that we have ue <« with ; and we say that the battle with it an * the Absolutist Powers—of which it is ttl 6 tool—is not to be fought with such miserabie , paltry weapons , as those forged by the Legis t * ture last session . We must face the aggressfj on his own territory , and give him work « _ home that shall effectually prevent him n meddling with us . M If Lord Palmees kw * were really the acuw
