      flnfcllc trillion in jour favour , whichlies latent . L society , and only waits to fee elicited by a ppropriate measures . The letter of Mr . Ekke st Jo >* es , in lafat -week ' s ' Star , ' and that of ' Censor , ' in our present number , contain practical suggestions worthy of consideration , and ought to he followed b y immediate a etitffi . Kemember , the time is rapidly approaching for the re-assembling of Parliament , and the tiroduction of the Miuieterialmeasuro . In the interval a decided and general expression of popular opinion on the subject , would , do doubt , largely influence the Premier as to « ntt \ c wrinion in your favour , whichlies latent ,

      its nat « re and scope . Everything is in favour of a great popular movement on the subject . The " . exposure of the abominations of St . Allan ' s , aud the" statement of Mr . Coi-pock , « I could take a list of the English boroughsbeginning with Abingdon , and ending with the last letter ; and if I were to put opposite , ss I could , "the Member paid so much for hia seat , * 'I should , perhaps , malce as extraordinary a statement as that you have heard from J lr . Edwards , '—who had just gone over the St . Alban s Register , and ticked oft * each voter , with the price he had paid them for their votes .

      Such a declaration as this is alone sufficient to ensure the downfall of the present infamously corrupt demoralising caricature of 3 representative system . It cannot bet-derated any longer , that such persons as the CoppoCks jund Edwaedes are to return the men who are called the representatives of the people of England , and who , though they represent them as much as they do tho Grand Lama , have the power of enacting the laws , imposing

      the taxes , and forming the Government of this country . This worse than sham—this monstrous grievance—must be swept away . The disclosures of its rottenness have just come in time to impart an irresistible strength to any movement for its destruction . "Will the Chartists waste their energies in personal p etty squabbles about verbal trifles , when so great and so good a work calls for them to p ut forth all their energies as an organised and a , living party ?

      tliey are on terms of professed amity . As to the feeling efthe Peopletherecanbeno mistake about that . If we arc to believe the Foreign Minister , while the Government have no desire to be urged onto war , they are desirous of upholding the nationality of foreign countries ; and if , as lie added , the moral power ot the Government , backed by public opinion , is greater on the continent than is generally believed , we have the foundation l aid for an efficient intervention on the renewal of hostilities . But can he be trusted in making these declarations ? There is too much truth in the closing sentence of tho Times' leader : — they are on terms of professed amitv . Aa to

      Lord Palmerston is too much sv , man of the world to act in earnest the _ popular parts in which lie excels ; acd we hold him to be perfectly indifferent to tbc Objects he effect 3 to espouse , except in so far as they may conduce to some thrust of resentment abroad or some cry of popularity at hoiue . In reality , Lord Palmerston is neither formidable as an enemy to established Government , nor serviceable sis an ally to insurrections ; but , unfortunately , bis language is apt to estrange from us the goodwill of the former , though his actions -will eventually consign the latter to perdition .

      CHARTIST ORGANISATION-TO THE CHARTIST BODY . Brethren , —Having been connected with the movement since its commencement , and experienced all its vicissitudes , I am emboldened to address you at this critical juncture , smd add my testimony to the sentiments expressed in Ernest Jones ' s letter in last week's Mar ^ ever have we had a more talented pr influential body at o « r head than tlie maomy ot those comprising the present Executive . Is ever was the movement in such a lethargic state . Whence does this arise ? feoJely from our haying no defined policy . Without a denned policy there can be no energy—without energy success is impossible . Ihe principles of the Charter are more popular and more widely spread than at anv previous period . A defined policy and an energetic head will aVouse and create enthusiiisin throughout the entire body . We want n ^ liberation , but action . We need not tne cold dogmas of philosophy ; but the warm enthusiasm of the heart . The feelings must bo aroused ere the judgment will respond . Your Lxecutive must not be abovebut of the

      , people . It must be ever present with them in their deliberations , animating and insensiWy guiding the whole . To do this they must be paid tor their services . Their number should not exceed five . Your present Plan of Organisation is good , but it must be efficiently worked . Delegate councils must be established ' . Plans of lectures must be issued in each dis « tnct . Enthusiasm , when created , must uot be suffered to subside . Continued exertions for the next six months will be more productive of gowl results than years of apathetic calm . Your Executive must have but one object'the Charter ; ' one means to obtain it—a

      wide-spread agitation among the masses . Let them show themselves in earnest , and the people will be in earnest also . Let us not fall into the errors of 1842 and 1818 . Let the events of 1852 find us prepared and at our posts . Let all party bickerings cease . We shall speedily be in front of the enemy . Disunion will be treachery , and will deserve to be punished as such . Let your decision be prompt and energetic , for delay is . a crimei Yours , Thomas Martin Wheeler .

      Fire in Brighton . — Between one and two o ' clocU on Tuesday morning the attention of the constable on duty in the CJifton-road was arrested by certain appearances betokening that some building in that neighbourhood was on fire . It was quickly discovered that an unfinished house in the new row near the church erecting in Cliftonroad was in flames , and that they had already gnined such hold as to render tho chance of getting them under doubtful . Information was at once conveyed to Inspector Elphick , who lives not far distant , and to tho Town . hall , whence the fire had become visible .. Friend Paine turned out , and with his engine and hose made all haste for the

      spot . Before be could reach it , however , the fire had got considerably ahead . Tbe whole stvueture from top to bottom , was one mass of red flame , and the fire raged until it had completely gutted the bouse , and reduced its component parts to ashea . On inquiry wo learned tUat the building was insured in the County Fire-office for £ 250 , but the entire value was estimated at £ C 0 O , to which the loss of time that must ensue from tho ncoident should be added . Wo regret to say , that there wero iu tho house tools bolon « ing to the workmen of the vsilue of £ 30 . These , of course , were not insured , and the loss to the poor fellows must be severely felt . —Brighton Gazette .

In the early part of June , whilst these troops were Stationed on the banks of the Hudson , near Albany , tho descendants of the " pilgrim fathers " flocked in from the eastern provinces ; never was seen such a motley regiment as took up its position on the left wing of the British army . The band pluyod music some two centuries of uge , officers arid privates had adopted regimentals each man after his own fashion ; one wore a flowing wig , while his neighbour rejoiced in hair cropped closely to the

It so hap * pened that there was a certain Dr .

      LOSS OF THE Stjjam Ship Vksta . —Since Sunday last the north-eastern portion of the coast has been visited by one continuous heavy aiiow stornu Amongst the many disasters resulting from the storm , and which are believed to have been of a mo 3 t numerous and calamitous character , was the total l 0 S 3 Of a fino Steam ship called tbe Vesta , trading Uetvjeen Srniilerland and Hamburg . Sho was commanded by Mr . Smith , who was part owner , and her crew comprised in all sixteen persons . She left Sunderland on Saturday , and during tho storm on Sunday morning Bprung a leek , in consequence of which her fires were extinguished ,

      and she became unmanageable . The crew left her iu a sinking condition on Sunday night , and were picked up next morning by the Norfolk steamer . The precise spot of the Vesta's foundering has not been communicated , but we may mention that when the boat was picked up tbo Nowsand Light bore some four or five miles distant K . K . E . Further northward than the Tyne the snow fell heavily , and in the vicinity of Fraserburgh , the Edward , of Lynn , supposed to be from Berwick to Glasgow ^ was totally wrecked , and every creature on board it is believed perished , Several bodies have been washed ashore .

      Tub table-lands of Asia Minor , and many parts of European Turkey , have yet to be colonised . A writer in tho " Literary Gazette" says , " We have journiod day after day , week after week , ever uncultivated fields and untilled plains , where the rich soil and ineffaceable marks of ancient cultivation held out promises of sure and ample reward to the industrious agriculturist . Tho tide of emigration , directed by a regulating Providence , is pouring into the most distant and barbarous region ; but there still remains close at hand , as if kept in reserve , an ample field for agricultural labour , more favoured in Boil , climate , and capability , than any American backwood , Canadian clearing , Australian sheep-walk , or Canterbury settlement . " Inquest on as Old Naval Officer . —On

      Thursday morning an inquiry took place before Mr . Bedford , at the RwU Lion , York-street , St . Jiunea ' ssquare , as to the death of James Thompson , Esq ., aged sixty-five , a gentleman of fortune , who was formerly in tho ima \ service of the East India Company . The jury Laving viewed the body , which was lying at Crockford ' s Palace Club Chambers , St . Jamcs ' s-atreet , John Flegg , chamberlain at Crockford ' s stated , that tho deceased bad resided there for the last seven months . On Wednesday morning he had breakfast as usual , and » ave directions as to wh : it ke wished done . At half past eleven he gave witness a stock to have a buckle put on , and On taking it hack at twelve he was not in his

      room , and be supposed he had gone to the water closet . In the evening , as he had given no orders about hi . 3 dinner , witness went ami knocked at his door , hut no answer was returned . Inquiries were made , but no one had seen him , nor could he be anywhere heard . At last it was determined to open his room door , as witness became greatly alarmed at seeing his silver snuff box on the table , bis gold watch on the mantlepiece , and his hat and gloves on one of the chairs . He then went to the water closet , and the door having been forced open the unfortunate gentleman , was discovered bent up with his head on the floor , quite stiff , and he must have been dead for at least , six hours . Mr .

      Arm-Strong , of Duke-street , surgeon , said he found deceased as above described . He had a white neckerchief on , and a black one over it , which were very tight , but tied iu the usual way . He bad since opened the body and found extensive disease of the heart , quite sufficient to cause death . In his opinion ho had fainted , and fallen down with hia head on his shoulder , and the tightness of bis neckerchief might have caused an overflow of blood to the brain , —The jury found that he had died of disease of the heart . Landork Powder Magazine . —Various attempts have been made without avail to obtain the

      removal of the powder magazine at Landore , in the vieU nity of Swansea , which it appears is situated in tho midst of a large population , and within a few yards of the South Wales Railway . At the last meeting of the Swansea town-council tbo subject was again mooted , when it was observed that a spark from a locomotive on tbo line might produce the most lamentable consequences . The magazine was erected in tbe firat instance in a legal manner , and on a proper site , there being no houses m tho immediate vicinity , so that tho removal can only be effected by purchase , which it has been determined to do by a public subscription .

Tho noise of tho hammer is now hoard ineoisantly and up to the latest hour within the Glass Palace , : uid a corresponding amount of aoliievement murks the close of each day .

      Soicwe of a Young Woman . — On Thursday evening Mr . Payne held an inquest at Guy ' s Hospital , touching the death of a young woman , named Joanna Hern , who committed suicide by taking prussic acid . It appeared that on Tuesday evening [ ast the deceased was at the house of Mr . Littleton , in Long-lane , whose wife 6 he had been charring for , and Cuad a young man , named Henry Thomas , who was paying his addresses to her , came to sea her home . They had been joking together , when she said she would go up stairs in the bedroom to wash herself , previous to going to her aunt ' s in the Xent-road , with whom she lived . She went up stairs , and Mrs . Littleton's sister , who was in the bedroom with her , soon alter gave an alarm , which .

      called up . ill the inmates of the houso . The deceased then said , " She hnd done it , she . had taken , poison . " She then exclaimed , "Oh , Henry , " alluding to the young man , and immediately afterwards , " Oh , my poor mother ! " a bottle containing prussic acid waa found in the bedroom , ami it waa proved that deceased used occasionally to employ herself in electro-plating bandies of whips , walking Sticks , & 0 ., IU which process prussic acid is used . The medical testimony of Mr . Pavey , who had analysed the contents of tbe stomach , was to the efiect that death was caused by prussic acid . The deceased was , generally speaking , in excellent spirits , but would sometimes complain about her father and mother having left her to go to America . Verdict— " Temporary insnni y . "

      ¦ " A case of grc . it brutality and violence , which has terminated fatally , has occurred in tbe neighbourhood of this town , and created intense excitement in tbis . looality .. . It appears that John Carey , apub-Vmjmi at 'WinfcneW , hna been latterly living on very unhappy terras with his wife from certain rumours that she kept up . in illicit intercourse with a young farmer not far distant . About tbe middle of last month something transpired to strengthen tha suspicions that had long been rankling in his mind , and be then with maddened fury began belabouring ; her in the mo 3 t brutal and unmerciful manner . Not content with punishing her to tho extont his hands and fiats enabled him , he resorted to tho use of weapons , and then kicked ber until she was almost unable to move . The poor woman was so severely injured that it was found requisite bv some of her

      neighbours ( who had been attracted by her cries ) to remove her to her bed , and call in the assistance of a medical gentleman . No hope was entertained ^ of her recovery from the first , and she continues gradually to sink , and died a few weeks since . Carey was then taken into custody , and on Tuesday underwent a lengthened examination before the county magistrates at the divisional petty sessions . The evidence given was confirmatory of the particulars above detailed . An inquest was commenced on Monday before Mr , Clark , the coroner for the district , and it waa adjourned for a week , as the case was then in tho hands of the bands of the magistracy . The niagis * trate 3 remanded Carey for a few days , when he will again be brought up and the case completed asnlnat him .

      A SLIPPERY STATESMAN .

      Ulever -fAiiiEitsiox has at length contrived to get liis finger into the Kossoxh pie . It was understood an intimation bad been conveyed to the illustrious patriot , that tbc Foreign Secretary had no objection to g ive him an unofficial interview , and of which it appears KosSCTH did not avail himself . Disappointed in this quarter , the astute Yiscount has been enabled , through the instrumentality of some convenient friends or dupes in Finsbury and Islington , to assert his personal importance , and to make a little political capital , which he hopes may , at a pinch , serve his purposes hereafter .

      By express arrangement his Lordship came from "Windsor—the present residence of the Q , UEEN—^ to receive two addresses agreed to at public meetings , in which his * lofty courage andman } yresolution , 'his'apirited and humane conduct / in rescuing Kossuth ' from the bands of those merciless tryants and despots , who Bought his destruction , ' was duly lauded . Another of the addresses , still more truly stigmatized the ' Christian potentates , who sought the life of the Hungarian Patriot , as ' odious and detestable assassins . ' It would have been veil if tbe compliments to the Foreign Minister had been as accurate in point of fact as the description ol the two Imperial ruffians . But this is not the case . We are sot aware that Lord Palmekston did

      anything whatever towaris procuring the release of Kossuth . "What hedid , was tosupport Hie Svltas in his refusal to yield up KossUTH in 1819 to the Austrian and Russian ambassadors at Constantinople . This was not , however , because the English Foreign Minister wished to protect the Magyar Hero against his foes , but because we were bound by treaty to prevent any aggression upon the Independence of Turkey . To the eloquent and powerful appeals of KossTrin himself , Lord Pai-KERBTONhas , as far as we know ,- returned no reply : and had not the Government of the

      United States departed from the traditional policy laid down by Washington , and interfered , for the first time , in European politics , It is quite probable that Kosstjth and his compatriots would yet hare been languishing in their Asiatic | prison , if they had not been cut off by the dagger of the assassin , or poisoned uy the deadly cooks in the pay of Vienna . Unfortunately , Lord Paisieksion ' s sympathy for oppressed and ^ fitrngg ling nationalities all evaporates in words . He says sufficient to irritate and annoy the despotic and oppressive powers who perpetuate the tyranny , but he does nothing to protect the victims from the increased severities , which are the results of

      his wordy andf otile meddling . In fact , it would be better if he would say nothing , rather than induce foreign patriots to believe he will render them efficient aid , and , under thatimpression , to place themselves in a position which they otherwise would not have o ccupied , and thus expose themselvesto the merciless cruelties of the tyrants . That was the case in Sicily and Naples . His sympathy appears to bo only a deceptive lurs to betray the popular party more surely , and to give the fiends hi power sreater means of completely crushing those who , but for" such betrayal , might escape the persecution , the suffering , or the death to T / hich their oppressors doom them .

      We look , therefore , with extreme suspicion upon any movements of Lord PalmerstoN of this nature . It may Dot be his own fault that lie is not able to give practical effect to his words when the hour of need arrives . There maybe influences in the present Administration too powerful for him to contend against ; Lut , at all events , it is , right that the fact should not be losl sight of , and that we should know the exact value to he put on hisprofes sions of sympathy with popular movementB abroad . The only gratifying part of the proceedings connected " with the presentation of these addresses was the statement that the influence

      of tlie Government of this country over Foreign Affairs consists in its bein ^ backed by public opinion . This confession virtually reraovesdiplomacyfroin the list of theoccultarts , to be practised in secrecy and silence , and places national relations among other public questions , to be dealt with publicly anil openlv . It is not necessary that all the details -of each transaction should be made public at the moment of their occurrence . It would be enough of the principle by which each was to deregulated was publicly avowed . in connexion with a statement of the ' leading facts to which that principle would be applied . This w « uld ¦ effect a revolution in dip lomac ^ of inc alculable

      service to aU nations . While we are not disposed to thmk very highly of Lord PalmekstOs ' s power or desire to give substantial aid to the cause of liberty and national independence on the continent , it must in fairness \ be added , that his official reception of these addresses , and some of the sentiments ' expressed by him , have given deep offence to the despotic powers , xnast tend to increase any aliecation that may previously hai'e existed between them and thiB country . The ' Times / as the organ of the Absolutist Courts , is exceedingly wroth with the Foreign Secretary , for receiving addresses -which characterise the allies of bis

      Jloyal Mistress , as * odious and detestable assassins , ' ' merciless tyrants and despots , ' with merely the mild protest , that' it could _ aofc be expected he should concur in some of the expressions in these addresses . ' Certainly , taken in connexion with other portions of his Lordship ' s repl ) -, they are not calculated to give OUT foreign allies any very high opinion of the sincerity of the Government with which

      THE FACTION FIGHT IN FPtANCE Up to the present moment victory has declared in favour of the President . The majority of seven against the project for restoring Universal Suffrage , has been reduced , by several explanations , from seven to two . So that question is settled . It would be absurd to suppose that a law , which disfranchises nearly 4 , 000 , 000 Frenchmen , can stand in the

      face of such a division . Its only chanca of being obeyed lay in the appearance of an overwhelming majority ; such as that by Which it was passed , andby the union and determination of the Assembly and the Executive to enforce it . Deprived of that majority , union , and determination , it is a mere piece of waste paper . To all intents aud purposes we may look upon Universal Suffrage as restored .

      Furious at then * defeat , the reactionary factions in tho Assembly made a move , which if successful , would have evidently precipitated an armed contest between them and the President . They induced the questori to put forward a proposition by which M . DUPIN , the President of the Assembly , would have had the right of summoning the army , and appointing a general for the defence of the Chamber . The obvious , and scarcely concealed object of this proposition , was to place , by apparently constitutional means , General Changarnier at tbe head of an army

      powerful enough to contend with that section of the military force which might be commanded by Bohatarte ' s nominee . The proposition was a startling and a serious one . It menaced immediate and open wnr between the rival competitors for power , each of them intent only upon the subjugation of . the liberties of the people , and the elevation of their respective dynastic interests . Not the least singular part of the matter was the quarter from whence the proposal emanated . The questors are officers somewhat similar with respect to position and functions to our own

      Sergeant-at-arms , Usher of the Black Rod , or House Keeper of the House of Commons . Of course , it is ridiculous to suppose that a measure of such importance really came from these subordinate functionaries . They were the Cat ' s'paws of that indefatigable and mischievous plotter , M . Thikrs , who' exerted himself to the utmost to procure its adoption . The result of one of the most stormy sittings ever known in the Assembly , was the rejection of the proposition by a majority of 108 . The majority is beaten and dispersed . Its varied sections are no longer held together by any

      common principle of action . For the time there is a Parliamentary Chaos in France among those whose union and discipline bode anything but good for the nation . So far as tbe preliminary struggles for 1852 have gone , they have terminated in favour of the Kepublict The Republican party have evidently learned tbe use of ; Parliamentary weapons . They step shoulder to shoulder—are officered by the ablest men of them , and only put forward their best orators to explain and defend

      their views . The consequence has been by the unanimous confession of the journals of all parties , that the Left has borne off the palm , not only for ability , but for its . calm and lofty bearing . The conspirators against the Kepublic feel that they have p layed , and are playing a losing game , and stung to madness by the conviction , they are pursuing a course which we confidently anticipate will lead to their own overthrow . Vive Le Republique .
