      . Fbaotobt , Mabch 27 .-The Emperor of Austria , has again refusedto go to TopliE , and meet fte Monarehs ofTrassia and Bnssia , whicht the Stter proposed . The Czar is most anxious -to have S orConeress or meeting of ^ reigns , but Austria will not listen to anything of the land . In - ^ Sequence , the Emperor Mcholas seems to ^ have SveTup the Idea . He has just sent Jus ajde-de-Samp , Prince Labanois de Bostof , to Stutgard , to bee the King of "Wirtemberg ana his daughters , that SniecjeTtf Nicholas , to meet him at Berlin . It is thought irbm tins that the Czar will not come at all into South Germany .

      Beige . Brussels , Mabch 28 . —Mr . "hillocks , the Cabinet messenger , is gone ( as has been stated ) to London with important dispatches . ' It is asserted that they relate to the dances of the twenty-four articles in which our Government requires changes to be made- These clau ^ are those relative to the debt , to the territory ceded , and to the free navigation of duj Scheldt . "With respect to the territory ceded hy the twenty-four articles , iti » ohjected that the King of Holland having taken seven years to decide on accepting the terms to which he now offers to aecadeit would not be eqnitable to place in his

      , hands the fate of die population which . has taken more » r less part in the revolution and its consequences , by the acceptance of public offices , by the exercise of ' political rights indifferent elections , and hy submission , to the Belgian laws relative to taxes and the militia . The town of Tiriloo is the subject of a distinct claim for the arrears of the interest of the debt charged upon Belgium ; it is demanded that tfcej shall be balanced by the expense of the state of war in which Holland has compelled us to remain since the powers who signed the treaty of london have guaranteed £ he neutrality of ^ Belgium . The

      exact tenour of the proposed modifications is not known , but they are in substance such as we have stated ; and we are permitted to add that they have been drawn , up ^ according , to the opinions of the Cabinets of Paris and London , brought by the last couriers from those capitals . They -have been prepared hy the Ministers , and communicated to influential persons . Supported by the two Powers which are really our allies , the Ministry will perhaps "have sufficient energy to persist in demands which obtain ihe -assent of the country ; but if it is unhappily abandoned to itself , it is certain that it will give way . —Commerce Beig .

      Bb"CSSELS , Mabch 30 . —The Handelsblad ^ contains the following article : —" New negociations are not thonght of . The King has merely declared that he is ready to accede to the treaty of the twenty-four articles . His Majesty has resolved on this step after all other attempts to settle the differences , with Belgium or to open fresh negotiations had failed , and been rejected by several of the great Powers , especially , as it is said , by Austria an 4 Prussia . These two Powers are reported to have positively declared that they abided by the treaty of the twentv-four articles , and to have advised the

      King to accede to it . They are stated to have expressed their fears that if new negociations were opened , new and greater difficulties might arise . The wise resolution taken by the King soon after the receipt of these resolutions is now known . His Majesty , out of love for his faithful people , has resolved to listen to the wish expressed as well in this eountry as abroad . The King has resolved to show that he is ready to mate this sacrifice for the consolidation of the general peace . This resolution has been notified to the Conference . As all themembers of that assembly were not in London , Lord Palmerston accepted- the declaration , ad memorandum , to communicate it immediately to die members of the Conference . So the matter stands at present , and everv body is impatient to learn what will be the revolt . "

      Effects bx ± Little Dbop . —John Shields was fqund asleep " urWhitefriargate , and on being awoke by the police , was found tq . be drank andineapsble of taking care of himself . He said lie was going to America in a steamer , and had gone to take a little drop with his brother before parting , but he got over much , and could get no further , and the ship had sailed without him . The Mayor said under these circumstances'he should discharge him , as he thought the loss of Ms ship was a punishment sufficient , and he hoped that it would be a warning to him to "keep "himself sober in future . —Discharged .

      Chabge of Stealing . — -Andrew Banter , a young man , was charged by Mr . Joseph Blundle with having committed a felony under the following extraordinary circumstances : —Mr . Blundle-stated that on Monday last the bellman , W . Levitt , came to their office , and inquired if they had lost a parcel of bronze , about three jnonths since , as a lad had brought some to hinvto cry , saying that he had found it in Wilcomlee , when the snow was on the ground . Mr . Warten , their principal clerk , made inquiries , and found that about ten days previous they had sent a parcel which corresponded in appearance and quality -with that produced by the bellman , to Mr . "Wall , of Barnsley . Subsequently : the prisoner went with , the bellman , and told the

      same story as at first to Mr . H . Blundle ; when , however , the wood between which thebronze was packed was , indentified as that whichwas sent from Mr . B . ' s warehouse , he changed his tale , and said that he got it from a lad called James Smitnson , who had been working on board the sloop . Mr . Warten had written to Barnsley , and had received an answer , staling that the bronze and two other articles mentioned in the invoice had not arrived . It also apbeared that prisoner had offered to sell the bronze to Mr . Brooks , carver and gilder , and was told by a son sf Mt . B . that he must get it cried , as no one would buy it without . This advice being acted upon , ultimately led to the detection of the robbery . The value of the bronxe was £ 2 . Prisoner said he

      found the packet , as he had stated . He was fuDy committed for triaL - Loss of the Elvira Indiama'n . —We legret to state that this fine vessel , for Calcutta , which left this port on Friday last , in tow of a steamboat , having on board a cargo estimated , we believe at £ 80 , 000 , struck on the ontward bar in the new channel . The captain and pilot then determined to * return to Liverpool , but not having water to come back the way they went out , they bore up for the Horse Channel , and the passengers then returned to Liverpool on board the steamer which had towed out the Elvira . Notwithstanding every

      exertion to bring the vessel into port again , the water gained rapidly upon them , and at half-past five she was telegraphed in great distress near Spencer ' s Gnt Buoy . About this time she was seen by the Messrs . Atherton , of New Brighton , with a signal of distress flying , and sinking ; and they proceeded , we understand , in their steam-boat with as little delay as possible , to endeavour to find the vessel and save the crew . After some difficulty , owing to the darkness of the night , they fell in with the wreck on the

      VS est Wharf , the poop and masts only being above water . As it would have been dangerous , in consequence of the heavy swell , to have laid the steamboat alongside of the wreck , the Post-office mail boxers , ship ' s letter bags , seamen ' s hammocks , some lnggage and stores were transhipped in boats withont damage . Shortly afterwards , however , the water rose breast high in the poop and cabin , and all hands then left the vessel and took refuge on board the steamer , and were safely , landed next morning at Liverpool . —Liverpool Standard .

      Medical Relief to the Poor . —At the meeting of the newly-erected Board of Guardians of the Driffield Union , Assistant Commissioner Itevans in the chair , Mr . Harrison , the medical officer of the Union , stated his inability to continue the arduous duties of his office at the present inadequate salary . He stated to the Board that he had to attend to the sick poor of 46 parishes , extending over 16 miles from his house . On the day of tbe > meeting of the guardians he had to remain at the board during the sitting , and tosupplv all the

      medicines , for which be received £ 120 a-yearj in the medicines alone he was a loser by the contract , without taking into account the keep and salary of an assistant , and the expenses of an extra horse . After a long discussion , the guardians informed Mr . Harr ison that they highly approved of bis services , and wished ' their continuance , but they could not "increase Ms salary ; on hearing this determination he immediately resigned , and the Board ordered that tenders to supply the poor with medicine should be advertised for . —Hull Paper .

      Accounts . —The habit of keeping private accounts shows the importance of small sums . The practice of comparing our means with the expenditure is one of the jrurest sources of prudence , caution , and circumspection in other affairs of life . Being a good accountant is not only useful in itself , but gives the mind a habit of accuracy in other matters . Nor does this apply only to the rich , but those who have no idea of the advantage of keeping an extra account of a very small income . A half-penny or a penny is ajnere trifle , but it will surprise many to see how soon they will amount to shillings and pounds . We are apt to think very little of small expenses , but these are more ruinous in the end than such expenses as are large enough to waken our attention . —Col Visitor .

      Explosion of a Powder Mill . —Last week one of those frightful occurrences , against which no human foresight can : guard , and which seem as if expressly intended to mock the devices of human prudence , took place at Stobbs Powder Mills , belonging to Mr . Caldwell , a few miles from Edinburgh . About half-past six o ' clock on the morning of Wednesday , half an hour after the workmen had assembled at the mills , they were alarmed by a loud explosion on the premises , the fearful import

      of which they too well knew . It was found to have proceeded from one of the corning houses , where the powder undergoes the process of being separated into particles or" corns" as they are termed in Scotland , which is nearly the finishing process * in the manufacture . In this house there were about twelve barrels of gunpowder , each containing lOOlbs ., and two men were engaged in the manufacture . The body ofone was found at some distance from the house , the other within the house .

      Dbeadful Accident . —Last night an inquest was held before Mr . Payne , the city coroner , at the Anchor and Hope , in Lower Thames-street , on the remains of a young man , named Biehard Stamford , who-was killed by being drawn into the machinery of the Yorkshireman steam-packet , on her passage from Hull to London . It appeared in evi dence that the deceased was a passenger , and was coming up to London previous to seeking employment , on the Great Western ^ Railway . Daring the voyage on Friday afternoon he was upon dej : k with other passengers , and made several attempts to get into the engine room , but was repulsed by the

      engineer and stokers , who requested him to keep on deck . 'Afterwards he placed his legs over the opening leading into the engine room , and he was several times in great danger of being injnred by the machinery He was repeatedly cautioned hy two other passengers , named Powell and Reams , not to persist in his conduct , but in spite of their warnings he actually attempted to descend into the engine room for the purpose of warming himself among the . machinery while the wheels were going round at the rate of 25 revolutions per minute . He got upon the iron bar or stay , which is placed between the two engines j and in -stooping to descend lower , the tail of his

      coat was caught in the cog-wheel , and in an instant he was drawn among the machinery and his body was reduced to atoms . The engineer " was called to , who stopped the engines * immediately , and the mangled remains of the rash and unfortunate man were collected from various _ parts of the erjgine-room and piacedin a case . On die arrival of the steamer at the Hull Steam-nacket Wharf , the mutilated fragments of the deceased ' s body were removed to the Church of Allhalldws Barking , in " . Tower-street . The accident occurred off the Hazeborough Light * about two o'clock p . m . on Friday . There was no one in ' attendance to speak to the identity of the deceased , but a parcel directed to Mr . Edward Stamford , Falcon Inn , Minster-street , ' Beading ,

      was in his possession when he toot Mspassage , and was produced for the inspection of the jury . The passengers who saw the dreadful occurrence said the person to whom tie parcel was directed , they belieyed , was the brother of the deceased , " and declared that no blame could be-justly attached to the engineers , who had warned the deceased to keep away from 4 he engines . It was found that the opening where the deceased * attempted to descend to / the engine-room was not tie proper passage , but thai the grating had been taken off . to admit air and light into the place below , and for the purpose of oiling various parts of the machinery . The Coroner said it was impossible to identify the mangled remains of the deceased . A more horrible and heart-sickening spectacle . he had never witnessed . That the deceased

      came to Ms untimely end by hi * own imprudence there could be no doubt , but on the whole he thought h wronld be as well to postpone the inquest until the ~ - " -: ? of the unfortunate man were communicated vn * h . The Jury acceded to the Coroner's suggesnoa . and adjourned the inquiry until Tuesday next . — - ' - - ' - - £ / Safi / refay .

      Poor Law Assault . —On Monday week , the master of the union workhouse , belonging to the Newton Abbott Union , situate at Chudleigh , was summoned before the magistrates for the following assault on a young woman , an inmate of that house . The pauper had given some offence to the master , who had her seized , and a strait waistcoat put upon her , in which she was confined for a considerable time . The magistrates , Mr .. A . Cbichester | and M r . C . H . Monro , after a most patient ; hearing , adjourned the case to the following day , in order to

      consider the right clai med by the master of a workhouse to inflict such a degree of punishment upon its inmates . The defendant admitted the offence , and asserted that he was justified in what he did , as he acted by order of the board of guardians . The magistrates did not give their judgment until last Saturday , when they declared that neither the defendant nor the board of guardians had any power , under the Poor Law Amendment Act , to punish paupers at their discretion , and fined him £ 5 , the highest penalty the law allows . — Western

Halles , engineer , in Page ' s-walk , Grange-road , Bermondsey , were totally destroyed by . fire . When discovered the flames were confined to a small portion of the premises , but on the doors being opened they extended to and destroyed the whole of the building . Mr . Halles i 3 insured in the Sun-office , but the amount of his insurance to old not be ascertained . The cause of the fire is also unknown .

      The Dorchester Labourers . —A dinner is to be given to the Dorchester labourers , on Easter Monday next , at White Conduit House , the proprietor of which has received orders to provide for 2 , 000 . There will be a grand procession of the Trades'Unionists on the occasion . Strange Accident at a Wedding . — " Marriage , like the marriage ceremony , " said Byron , in one of his cynical moods , " begins with ' dearly beloved , ' and ends with ' amazement . '" This was verified to the letter in Braiinstone Church , Sunday morning , at the wedding of a young couple , who were married by the Rev . Mr . Fry . After the

      knot was tiedy the bridegroom marched his " d « arly beloved" along the aisle ; and the Eev . gentleman walked in the rear of the wedding party . Suddenly , the ears of the foremost were stunned by a loud crash ; and turning round , they saw , to their " amazement , " that the family vault of the Winstanleys , over which they had just passed in safety , had fallen in with the clergyman , who was almost buried in the tomb , and severely injured by the pavement which had accompanied him in bis unexpected and alarming descent . He was relieved from his awkward situation , wounded and bleeding , and his injuries were so serious , that the services of the day , at Braunstone and Kirby Muxloe , were , of necessity , set aside . —Z « c « ter Chronicle .

      Annoyance of a Lunatic—On Saturday , at the Kensington Petty Sessions , Dr . Glenn , of Brompton-row , accompanied hy Mr . Gray , a solicitor , applied to the sitting magistrates for their advice . Dr . Glenn stated , that some time since he was called in to attend a gentleman named Nelson , of College-street , Chelsea , whom he found to be decidedly insane , and he accordingly recommended he should be placed under restraint . - } From that period Mr . Nelson had taken every opportunity of

      annoying him ; and during the late severe frost had exhibited , while skating in Hyde-park and in Kensington-gardens , large placards , on his person , denouncing him ( Dr . Glenn ) as a murderer , perjurer , &c , and during the last two days he had employed himself in parading up and down Brompton-row with a large placard , cautioning person * not to go to Dr . Glenn for advice , or they would be poisoned ; The bench said , they did not see how they could interfere in the case . It was matter for a civil

      action , unless some breach of the peace took place in consequence , and all they could do would be to send one of the police sergeants to Mr . Nelson , to induce him to refrain . Suspected Murders . — A circumstance occurred at Coleshillj > n Saturday last , which has occasioned considerate excitement in that town and neighbourhood . A boy was set to dig . up some waste ground at the back of a house , for the purpose of sowing carrots , when he turned up two skulls and several other bones of a human body . Mr . Barker , the surgeon , was immediately sent for , who pronounced them to be those of a woman and child .

      From recollection of the circumstance , suspicion instantly fell on a man who had formerly lived on the premises , and who had removed about eight years ago to Leamington , with his wife and child , but of whom nothing had since been heard , except that the husband had married again . Inquiry was promptly made , and he was traced to this town , in employment at the station of the London and Birmingham Railway Company , as a journeyman carpenter . He was on Monday last taken into custody , and removed to Coleshill , to await the result of the coroner ' s inquest , which was to be held last night at the Swan ; but the result of the inquiry we have not been able to ascertain . —Coventry Herald .

      Extensive Fire at Cheltenham . —Friday morning week , a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr . Marshall , an ironmonger in extensive business , in . Clarence-street , Cheltenham ; and on the alarm being communicated numerous persons hastened to the spot , and the two town engines and the Protector engine were brought to the scene of conflagration . The latter engine was very effective , but the two former , we regret to say , from the piping having become old and impaired , were comparatively useless . The fire-continued to rage with awful violence , and at a quarter-past five an express was sent to this city for the Protector engine stationed here

      under the care of Mr . Marsh ; and as a proof of the promptitude displayed we may mention that this engine , which we understand did most essential service , was in full play upon the flames by half-past six . During the progress of the devastation , we are told that a female , a sister of Mrs . Mamhall , escaped from the hurning edifice over the roof of an adjoining house , which she entered by means of a sky-light ; she then retraced her steps , and with much courage and presence of mind succeeded in rescuing and car-Tying in safety by the same route the children of Mr . Marshall ' s family . Happily , no lives were lost ; hut the destruction of property has been very great ;

      thoogh there was a good supply of water , and the engines were plied with much vigour ,, it was impossible to prevent the flames spreading to an adjoining house , occupied by Mr . ; Streather , grocer , which was greatly injured , and much property in it destroyed . The premises belonging to the Eight Bells were frequently in imminent danger , but were fortunately and by dint of great exertions preserved without much damage . . The residence of Mr . Yates , chinaman , wai also In a great measure preserved from taking fire , but sustained a good deal of damage to

      the windows , &c . from the playiag of the engines and the other preventive means whiuhwere resorted to . By about eleven the fire was completely subdued , bat the wreck of property which presented itself was most melancholy to contemplate . Varioua reports are in circulation as to the cause of the fire , which no doubt was accidental , and as to the amount of loss sustained ; we have heard the latter estimated at from 20 to £ 30 , 000 ; but no accurate calculation has as yet been formed . It is satisfactory , however , to add , that a great part , if not all , is likely to be covered by insurance in various offices , principally in the Norwich Union .

      New Pooh Law . —Ciren ^ cester Union . — Our readers are aware , that the Cirencester Board of Guardians are distinguished for having out-Heroded Herod by the allowance of a dietary to the inmates of their Workhouse more meagre than any of the number submitted to them for selection by the Commissioners ; these , worthy Guardians are of opinion , and in . that opinion" the Commissioners concur , that for an able-bodied man , who toils from morn to aight , five ounces of bacon per week afford ample animal sustenance , Employers of labourers , we are told by the Commons '

      Committee of last session , have - " an ,, immediate pecuniary interest m avoiding the expense of maintaining whole families in the Workhouse , '' and the following case , extracted from the Qlocesiershire Chrmicle of Saturday , will satisfy the public that their-treatment of the out-door poor is , admirably calculated to serre the same interest : — li Aninguest was lately , held oa the body of Mary Haacox , at Ampney Craeis . The deceased was a poor woman , aged 56 years , the wife of James Hancox , a poor old cripple . Being destitute , the deceased applied bo Ute Cireucester Beard of Guardians on the

      Monday ( distant from Ampney about three miles ) . The day ' was piercingly cold , and After waiting . at the Board a long tuns without getting relief , she retained home in a very weak and . shivering Btate , * nd went to bed ill . On the Tuesday , application was made for medical assistance , and medicine was sent on the Wednesday . On Friday , she . was again attended , and had more medicine , and on Saturday morning she died . After a long . and patient invest igation , th « jury returmed a Terdict-- ' That the deceased died by the visitation of God , and that her death was accelerated by the intensity of the cold to which she was exposed in attending the Board of Guardians on the preceding Monday , ' ¦ *>

He was , then indebted to his creditors in a sum of £ 1401 Since Christmas the unfortunate man paid £ 100 of the debtj and gave a bill for the balance , upon which he was arrested three dayg . after it became due , and conveyed to Whitecross-street prison .

A lengthy article , bearing this title ] in Blacks wood ' s Magazine' of the ' present month / seems to require some little passing observation . We have a native English love of candour and frankness , even though it be of a disagreeable kiBd . We bate the cant of hypocrisy , unclerwhatseeTerfprni it may Vemanifest' » d ; ; and hence we have been accustoined both to think and * to say of the rival sections of the robber-faction , that of ; the two thieves the ^ Tory was the more hon ^ t , because he s usually candid enough to avow hw real parposesj

      wh « e the Whig invariably labours to mislead and to conceal selfish narrow policy under ^ the cloak of big words and feigned philanthropy . With the antipathy towards every thing of good which is natural to the domination of evil principle , the Tones ^ are now getting rid of this single redeeming feature in their hideous character . Seeing h ' ow their antagonists , the Whigs , have profited by practising upon the confidence of a generous people , they are endeavouring to turn round and stem the torrent of adversity ^ by Mzing the atms of their enemy , and

      using them as weapons , offensive and defensive , at the same time . This is an extremely difficult game to play ; and so the Tories find it . Two things are necessary to be done to ensure success — first , to show the people that the Whigs have proved false to all their promises of amelioration and pojpular advantage ; and secondly , to induce the people to submit , after having their eyes thus opened , to a repetition of the same treatment by their newly discovered u friends . " (!) For the accomplishment of both these objects , the

      Tonis under the necessity of sustaining frequent changes of character , vaccillating between the stern uncompromising hardihoood of villany natural to his character , and the insidious cajolery which is the essential characteristic of Whiggery . Hence in the last Election the Tories attempted to play the Whig game , by affecting to be at least desirous of so far aiding the accomplishment Of public right as

      might be done by the destruction of the New Poor Law . Steeped , to the lips in pledges to tear : this blotted page from our statute book , many Tory members were returned through the influence of the masses , solely on account of those pledges , the people rightly judging that where there was no real difference as to matters of essential principle , the best policy was to support the best men on matters of detail Mr . FieLden ' s motion shewed the value

      of these pledges . Out of 318 Tories not more than about a dozen voted for the repeal of the Poor Law . The party purpose haying been gained by flattering the hopes and exciting the expectations of ' the people , they proceed like old veterans to make the best of the advantage thus obtained by stratagem ; and while Frastr points to the 318 Tories in the House as the evidence of a call on the part of

      the people for the " Conservative Leaders to reassume the reins of Governmentj" Blacfcwood coolly si ts down and , as the representative of his party , again lifts up the vizor , exhibits the usual rigidity of Tory feature , ascribes a large portion of the social evils now existing to the mischievous Whig doctrine of the people's having any right to the least option in the management of their own affairs ^ and asserts at once that : —

      ' " : ¦ Power , lodged in the great masa of society wfll be exercised in folly and converted to injustice . An attempt naistbe made to place it in hands whereit will be employed more according to tho rules of reason and less under the influence of recklessness or passion . " . After having laici it down as a rule that the poor must be a great deal more vicious than the rich , he goes on : — . '• ¦ : . ¦ . ¦ - - . .-. ¦ - " \\ . ' ¦ . ¦ - ; .. " We apeak not here of moral accountability but of external conduct ; not of occasional exceptions but of general . rules .

      And in these pomta of view it cannot be bid that among the very poor we niuat expect . to find those riolations of Javr , and too » n irregularities of feeling and conduct , that are mc « t dangerous to . the fabric of society . : Pdverty . tu it' is exhibited in our yreat town 8 , vrhon amounting to actual want and pinching destarition , must invoWe active elements of vice and diaorder . Vice , in many caaea , Trill ptdduce"poverty ; , poverty in jnany cises will ¦ produce vice , and either way taey- must go , too generally , hand in hand . "

      The more closely we examine the characters of the Whig and Tory , factions , ^ he more strongly we become convinced that " they twain are indeed one flesh . " Notwithstanding the apparent straight-forward Toryism of this paragraph , there is in it a great deal of Whig trickery and finesse . How carefully does the writer , while he exhibits the connection whichji he says , must subsist between poverty and vice as a reason for withholding political power from poverty , keep out of sight the least hint of an inquiry into the why and the wherefore such poverty eJtists ,

      " amounting to actual want and pinching destitution . VV Not a ' single word of an ipquiry whether this yery « actual want and pinching destitution" be not itself a consequence of the npn-possession of political and legislative ^ power . No word of intimation that this verr > tate of things ^ which he affirms to generate crime and to render unfit for the exercise of power , has been superinduced by the intervention of those \ hands" into which that power has been placed , between the aggregate wealth of the country , as it is being cpritinually produced , and the aggregate

      population of the country , to whom it legitimately belongs . Not a single word does Blachcood esy of the means by which this robbery isjeffected , and this " actual want and pinching destitution" produced ; which means consist only in the single " power ' -of law-making ^ for which Tie is so anxious" to prove the incapacity of poverty from its association with crime . And theii the modesty of the assertion that vice and poverty mifst a jgo handin hand !" How immaculately virtuous must all the * 'better " classes of society be ! We dare swear that such a thing as ;; vice and immorality ia unknown , among

      them . They are quite another sort of thing . The selfish pa ^ i bns form no portion of their nature . If they < 'keep back the hire of the iabourer by fraud" or by ^ tfie strong arm of " power , " without even the cover of a fraud , itis only lest he should be led by it into " habits of intemperance '• ' which might injure his morals .

The " machinery "is simply the high state of moral feelingin the masses , who have not yet ; become tnorbughljr debased by the operation ; of Whig and Tory doctrines-of exclusiyeness ; and their superior intelligence , induced by an active acquaintance with the

      realbusiness of life . Their moral : feelings teaeh ' them rather to suffer wrong than to commit wrong ; their intelligencei shows them that the priheiplea of eternal justice ' ate mighty enough to work Athesr own ., way , and ^ that , by the very nature and constitution of society , they hold withirt their ¦ grasp , a moral force infinitely greater ; than all the physical violence that could be resortett to . This , and this only ) i * the " machinery" by which the masses are now holden in peadeful subjection to the laws . And does the gaping driveller dare to" insinuate that the same sense of morsi

Blackwood laments pitifully" ^ the imprudence of the opposing faction , in having , ^ a » he supposes , awaked the people out of a sound political ' nap .
