The. Curse Removed; A Letter To The Manu...
The . Curse Removed ; a Letter to the Manufacturers of Manchester on the State and Prospects o f England . London : Effingham TTilson . Coming Events ; an Address to the WorJdng Classes of England . London : George Tickers . These two works are by the same author ; the latter is , indeed , a sequel to the former . They are evidently the production of a man of earnest soul , whose sympathies are with the ill-requited toiling classes of this country . That he has thought muclmpon his subject , and has a clear idea of the causes which , hare produced the misery everywhere around us , may he gathered from the following passage in The Curse Remmed ^ -
2 for is it to be believed that the productions of this mighty power were ever intended to sustain an extravagant aristocracy and a spendthrift government , whilst rioting in luxury in the midst of an overwrought and a pauperised people . Certainly some higher and nobler purpose was designed by it . There must be connected with it a higher problem , worthy of being wrought out by -the great minds of the country . Let a right direction be given to this power of production . Let the capitalists employ the means thus put into their hands for the elevation of the people , and , as we shall afterwards see , they will secure themselves against evils , which are as yet scarcely apprehended .
The present state of the' trade of this country , proves that our manufactories , with all their production , are not able to provide employment for the working population . Every one perceives that there is not employment sufficient for ' them all , nor > do the wages given afford comfortable subsistence for those . who are employed . Our immense productive power equal to the labour of six hundred millions of people is not sufficient to sustain a population short of thirtjy millions . This again proves , that a gift so precious and designed by the great Ruler of the universe , to ameliorate the
condition of labour , to augment the comfort and promote theintelligence and happiness of the human familytheioor as well as the rich—has been hitherto mis * applied . • Sis the very nature of the existing ' system to increase the wealth of the rich , and to make those who are poor still poorer , as well as to augment the number of the latter . _ Thus , it may be reasonably expected , that pauperism will continue to grow . It is the natural tendency of the funding system , and would long ago have upset the Government of England , but for a particular circumstance which we shall presently have occasion to
notice . In the pages before us , the author enters upon a wide field of inquiry . We find chapters on War , Commerce , Emigration , the National Debt , and the Labour Question . In his views of Commerce we entirely concur . We have often had occasion to show the evils to which we are rendered liable by our reliance on foreign markets for the consumption of t the commodities we fabricate and sell . Our author contends , and , to unprejudiced minds the thing will carry an obvious conviction , that reciprocity must be the basis of our foreign trade—that imports and exports must he > equivalent and commensurate with each other , or , if either largely preponderate , gluts and fluctuations will inevitably succeed as consequences follow causes . He asks : —
How can our power of consumption grow with a starving population ? What hope is there of an extended trade with a daily augmenting , pauperism ? Can you " employ all the people , or can you afiord them such , wages as to make them good consumers of foreign productions ? No , you cannot . TAJ , however , you can do all this , farewell to a prosperous aniwholesome state of tilings . Whatever neglect or indifference has been manifested to the labourer in the past , must be compensated to nun in the future . A new order of things must be established , in which the labourer shall be recognised as a * nan in full possession of all his rights .
The author of the Curse Removed is a Badical of the conservative stamp . He is none of your wild and Yandal repudiatonists . The National Debt is admittedl y an enormous and gigantic wrong ; in his opinion it is the modern curse under which the nation labours , yet he would not repudiate it- ^ he would have ifc paid —« . e ., equitably paid . In repl y to the question , " What shall he done with the National Debt ? " he says : — To this question only one reply can be given and Ciatis-jAT it . This can be done now with greater »! p iht g-than at any previous period since the war with Jrance was concluded , and every year it remains unpaid the difficulty of paying it will increase infact , if not done soon , it never can be donepeace ^ ably—therefore pay it .
It is right the holders of stock should be informed that the nation will never pay £ 100 for £ 60 or £ 70 which they received a few years ago , of which the interest has been regularl y paid . Our proposal 18 toJayafcxof seven and a half per cent . on the capital debt of the nation , whether funded or un fMdeoYand to limit the capital on which the charge should be made * o £ 80 for every £ 100 of the 3 uer c « itgv £ c 3 onthe 31 aiid 3 i per cents ., and mo on ^ the 5 per cents ., or , in other words , to pay ttewhole debt at 7 * per cent , below the prices hero He next proceeds to point out the resources we have at our disposal for the purpose of

discharging this enormous burden of taxation . TVe cannot , however , altogether go with , him in his views , but must , nevertheless ,. admit , he brings to hear , upon the questions opened up in his little work a Vast amount of research . Jji the second . pamphlet , which is addressed more particularl y to tb . 6 working men of England , the writer tells us he was a corn law repealer , and stiU holds to . the same faith ; but the gentlemen of Manchester ^ to whom his first wort is addressed ; will be Very unthankfulfor the following passage in the latter work . We entreat" our readers' attentive perusal of it . He . asks has the repeal of the-Corn Laws .. .,. _ _ j ? t « JnM ^ hto annrmnno KhiiHam Af i ..
effected the object its promoters intended ? imd thus rep lies tohis own question : —• ' If we are right in the conclusion that their great , their chief object was to increase the demand for the produce of their machines ; there can be no hesitation respecting the reply to be . given to the question . It has not effected the object the manufacturers intended—they must soon experience a disappointment not very easy to be borne . They may be still hugging themselves in the expectation that their highly-excited hopes-will be fully realised ; but it is impossible . —If they were not under the influence of a strong prejudice , they could not resist the evidence now presented to their minds .
that the repeal , of these corn laws , so far as it has gone , has done all for them it can do . " In its very nature it was -onl y fitted to reduce the price * of human food , and this it has effected to its . present full extent -There can be no doubt , that they also calculated on a reduction of the wages of labour , as a natural consequence arising put of the ability of the labourer to live upon less money . The repeal ofthe Ten Hours Bill is aproof that they are looking forward to some . future . pressure on the labourer . In this they are right , and it cannot be far distant ., Notwithstanding the animation in some of the manufacturing districts , the dark shadow of the future is beginning to spread itself over the country .
By looking narrowly into the state ' - of consumption of various articles , it may be clearly seen that there is little real additional prosperity , and . that the loudly talked of diminution of the number of paupers , is only in comparison with the years of soarcity , and arises chiefly , if not exclusively , from the reduction in the . price of food ,- and not from an increased demand for labour . The gentlemen in Mincing-lane are surprised , and cannot comprehend the cause of the diminished consumption of sugar , It is true the diminution of consumption in this direction may be accounted for by supposing that the pressure has reached a grade of the community somewhat above the labourer : and the fact that
upwards of eighty master bakers were recently , at the same time , taking the benefit ofthe Insolvent Debtors' Act , seems to confirm this notion ; but then the gentlemen in Mark-lane are in the same dilemma , They have discovered that there is a very great diminution in the consumption of bread and flour , especially in those districts of London in in which bread was largely consumed before . How is this to be accounted for ?; The idea naturally occurred to us , that this could only arise out of tha cheapness of the bread , g iving them the power to consume a greater quantity of animal food ; but , on making inquiry in this direction , we discovered that
instead ef an increase m the consumption of annual food , there was a decrease here also . Such are the reports made to us respecting London , and we know of no reason for men stating anything but truth . Besides , on looking into the returns made to Parliament for the three first months ofthe present year , and comparing them with the three first months of the previous year , we find the' consumption of cocoa reduced from 922 , 0001 bsVto ' 7240001 bs . Coffee , from 9 , 3 S 6 , 0001 bs .- to 7 , 465 , 0001 bs . ¦ Tallow imported , from 313 , 003 cwts . to 194 . 000 cwts . ; and this diminished consumption of tallow coincident with a considerable export of candles and soap out of the materials entered for home consumption .
There is less reason for extracting from the pamphlet now before us , as its price places it within the reach of almost everybody ; but . a few remarks in his opening observations are so good and healthy , that we are tempted to transfer them to our columns : — hi questions connected with social progress the political economist will not overlook the aspirations of men of genius and imagination . Their power of fancy and depth'of-perception frequently points to an end which reason finds it difficult to reach . Many
of them have sung of the "good time comingf in such a way as to inspire us with hope in the darkest hour . Some hare gone farther , calling upon us to remember "the days of darkness , for they shalV be many , " and reminding us that it is only " through much tribulation we can enter the kingdom , " or , in other words , strongly impressing our mind with the fact , ' that it is . only through toil and effort and suffering that the affairs of society can be placed on a basis fitted to produce abundance , peace , and comfort to alL
Our author is a politician of the Chartist school , and warmly vindicates the political rights of the working classes . In this address he frequently refers to the , Chartist . body in terms of iust and merited approbation . We take leave of these works , therefore , with . a high respect for the mind which brought them forth , and : strongl y recommend them ? to pur readers . They are exceedingl y well written , are replete with facts of weightiest importance , and , altogether , are essentially useful and instructive in their character and tendencies .
The Fourth -Estate: Contributions Toward...
The Fourth -Estate : Contributions towards a History of ^ Newspapers , and of the Liberty of the Press . By F . K . Htnsx . London : Bogue . ' - . Mr . Htjst has here contributed some valuable materials towards &¦ complete history of at least the Eng lish ' . newspaper . He has collected from printed sources a large amount of information respecting the earliest English " news-books , " as the newspapers were ' at first called ; has had access to manuscript documents respecting the expenses and profits of journalism in the days of Junins ' s Woodfall ; and contributes much that is curious , from conversations and professional experience , of the machinery , expenses ; and returns of the daily newspapers of our own time .
Interspersed with these materials are a number of remarks illustrative of , or associated with , newspaper literature ; accounts of the early and harsh censorships of the press ; a sketch of the straggle on the part of the newspapers by which the right to report the proceedings in parliament . # as de facto established ; notices illustrative ofthe successive judicial decisions by which our law ef libel has been brought into its present form ; and anecdotes of men of hig h literary repute who have occasionally or permanently been associated -with the press .
"With the sufferings of the Puritans , who were the first to turn a periodical or quasiperiodical press to much account , the reading public is pretty familiar ; but the savage spirit with which newspapers were sought to be suppressed between the eras of the Restoration and the Revolution of 1688 is probably under-estimated . The following account of the manner in which an obnoxious journalist was dealt with in the days of Popish and meal-tub plots may make their successors of the eighteenth century thankful for the change that has come over the minds of men .
"Under the new law enforcing the censorship L ' Estrange , the journalist , became the chief executive officer ; and , judging by facts that are on record , a scholar and a man of proper feelings must often have blushed for his new . occupation . The Star Chamber was gone beyond revival , and the Old Bailey became the court where sinners against the press laws were arraigned . The new statute soon captured a few victims , and a Tyburn audience was assembled to witness the execution of a troublesome printer . . ,,. , . x , T . T , „„ 163 the Licenser
On an October night in C , L'Estrange , having received secret information , set out onasearch for illegal publications He had ^ with him a nartv of assistants , which included four perso nS Dickinson , Mabb . 'Wickham and Story Se men were called up after midnight , and maoe ^ r way by I ^^' fiSSE ? gfi Fair This had been Milton ' s hiding-place , when hetad » fll ' n on evil days ; " and here now lived Mother heterodox thinker : a printer ourtMu .

Auesasou » Tillcgal thoughts ™ Wfc men called on afterwards ( o g've evidence as to what happened , Wickham described how he met Mr . L'Estrange near Twyn ' shouse , and how they knocked at least half an hour before they got in ; and how they listened , and " heard SOme . paperS tumbling down , and heard a rattling above , before they went up . " The door being opened oy its unfortunate owner , TPickham was posted at the back door , whilst another stood in front , and the rest of the searchers went over thepremises . Efforts had been made to destrov the offendin g sheets ;

give , evidence ; against his master , and .-the judges were ready to coincide with Mr . Serjeant Morton , who appeared for the crown / and declared Twyh ' s offence to be treason ! Theobnoxious'bdok repeated the arguments often urged during the . Commonwealth , «« that . the execution of judgment and justice is as well the people ' s as the magistrate's duty ; and , if the magistratespervert judgment , the people are bound by the law of God to ' execute judgment without them ,. and upon them . V ; In his defence ; Twyn said , he had certainly : printed the sheets ; he ..
''thought it was mettlesome stuff ,. but " knew , no hurt in it ; " that the copy had been broughthira by one Calvert ' s maid-servant ; and that he got forty shillings b y printing it . He pleaded , moreover ,- in excuse ^ that he was poor , and had a family depend dent on his labour ; for their bread . . Such replies were vain , and the jury found him Guilty . ; "I humbly beg mercy , " cried . Twyn , when this terrible , word was pronounced . "I humbly beg mercy ; -I am a-poor man / and have three small children : I never read a word of it . "
"I U tell you what you ' shall do /'; responded-the Chief Justice Hyde , to whom . this plea of clemency was addressed , " ask mercy of them that can give it : ' that is , of God and the Kirig . " ! "rhumbly beseech you to intercede with his Majesty for mercy , " piteousiy exclaimed - the condemned printer . ' ' Tie him up , executioner , " was the only . reply ' " , and Hyde proceeded to pronounce sentence , To read this sentence in the record of the trial makes the blood run cold : 'T speak it from my soul , " said-this sycophant Chief Justice . "I think we have the greatest happiness in the world in enjoying what we do under so gracious and good a Sing "
( this was spoken of- Charles the Second , be it remembered ); " yet you , Twyn , in the rancour . of your heart thus to abuse him , deserve no mercy !" After some further expressions of loyalty , and a declaration that it was high time an example should be made to deter those Mho would avow the killing of kings , ho ordered , that Twyn should be drawn upon a hurdle to the place of execution ; that ho be hanged by the neck , and , being alive , that he should bo cut down , and that his body be mutilated in a way which decency now forbids the very mention of ; that his entrails should afterwards be taken but , " and you still living ,- the same to be burnt
before your eyes ; your head to be cutoff , and your head and quarters to be disposed of , at the pleasure of the King ' s Majesty . " . " I humbly beseech your Lordship , " again cried Twyn in his agony , " to remember my condition , and intercede for me . " : "I would not intercede , " replied sanguinary Judge Hyde , in the cruelty of his heart , " for my own father in . this case , if ho were alive . " And the unhappy printer was led back into Newgate , only to leave it for Tyburn , where the , sentence was soon afterwards carried put ; his head and tho quarters of his body being set up to fester and to rot , " on Ludgate , Aldersgate , and the other gates of tho city . " '
; Mr . Hunt prefaces this anecdote by a very apposite and important general remark , with which istheinost important moral of a history of the newspaper , we conclude : — "In the index to the statutes at Marge } under the heading ' Printers and the Printing Press / the reader is directed to * see seditious societies . * . A fine comment ttiis on the character of our law-makers . They do not legislate to help the press in the good it might effect , but onl y make laws to cripple it when a government finds its interference inconvenient . "

In the Khan ' s Tale , however , we have an exceedingly interesting tale of Love and War , interspersed withlustrations of Persian life , in the feuds which rage between the semi-civilised savage and feudal people ofthe Khorasan—a wild and sterile district , the peculiar , and characteristic features of which are well pourtrayed .

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Daring the past week Doctor Bachhohner has been-engaged in delivering a series of lectures on electricity , the experiments being rendered particularly grand and imposing by the aid ofthe gigantic Hydro-Electric machine , which exhibits the various experiments on a most powerful and magnificent scale , this machine being the largest ever manufactured . Mr . Pepper has been delighting the visitors with his admirable lectures on chemistry , which are rendered doubly attractive by the popular and simple manner with which that gentleman treats his subject , as well as the brilliant experiments exhibited during his discourse . Mr . Barker still continues to charm his numerous auditors , every erening , with his "Ballardsof England . "
Haymarket. On, Monday Evening Mr. Macrea...
HAYMARKET . On , Monday evening Mr . Macready commenced his'series of farewell performances before his final retirement from the stage . It will . be remembered that Mr . Macready was to have completed his farewell engagement last season , but that the concluding portion of it was necessarily deferred in consequence of the state of his health . This obstacle being now happily removed by his restoration to his wonted strength , these performances are now resumed , and are to proceed strictly in accordance with the arrangements originally made , and will comprise all the leading characters which have been more particularly associated with his dramatic career . A crowded audience , comprising a host of
individuals , distinguished in , literature and art , was assembled to : welcome our'great actor on this occasion ; and Jwhen he : appeared they gave vent to their feelings in reiterated peals of applause . He looked as little as possible like a man on the eve of retiring from the stage . He had the aspect of health , his movements were active and buoyant , and we have never seen him act with more fire and vigour . As to his representation of Macbeth , what can be said that has not been said a thousand times already ? It is , we have always thought ) his master-piece , combining in a remarkable degree the inspirations of genius with the results of close study and deep reflection . It is the most finished work of art which the English stage has exhibited for many \ years ; and it may be many a year before it shall exhibit such another . Mrs . Warner was
the Lady Macbeth .. This excellent actress was received , after her long absence from the stage , in a manner due to her talents and character . She has lost nothing of her majestic beau ty , and she sustained the character with her wonted power and grandeur . The parts of Macduff and Banquo were well performed by Mr . Davenport and Mr . Howe ; and the play as a whole was got up and acted in a very satisfactory manner .
Adelphi. A Farce Called The School For T...
ADELPHI . A farce called The School for Tigers was brought out on Monday with the most unequivocal success . It is a kind of High Life Below Stairs , adapted to modern times , although the action takes place , not in a kitchen , but at the back of a cigar-shop . Mr . Panels ( Mr . "Wright ^ 'an ex-coachman , has not only opened business in the' Havannah line , but devotes himself to the instruction of "tigers" in the peculiar duties of their profession , and allows their studies to be enlivened b y an occasional " shilling bop , " to which the maid servants of the . neighbourhood are invited . The Tiger-class is regularly exhibited , and the answers given by the pupils have all . more or less a satirical reference to the state
of society to which "tigers" owe their being . One of . them ( Miss Woolgar ) , who has been advanced somewhat suddenly , into tigerism from the condition Of an errand-boy , is quizzed by his companions / or the rusticity of his manners ; but in the end betakes a noble revenge by helping two of his persecutors out of a scrape in which they are involved on account of : their masters being found guilty of forgery . , This piece , which is by Mr . Mark-Lemon , is wry . smartly written , and the academical scene is novel and striking . It has also the advantage of being acted to perfection in the . prinp inal characters . ' Mr . Wright , as the ex-coachman ; Sly Si ' M mind the fact that he has " . dm "

Matthew Harvey , of Chapel Hall , Airdrie , Scotland , dated the 15 th of January , 1850 . Sra , —Your valuable" pills have been the means , with God ' s blessing , of restoring me to ' a state of perfect health , and at a time when I thought'I was on the brink ofthe grave . I had consulted several eminent doctors , who , after doing what they could for me , stated that they considered my case as hopeless . I ought , to say that I had been suffering from a liver and stomach complaint of long standing , which during the last two years , got , so much worse , that every one considered , my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , got a box of your pills , which soon gave relief , and by persevering in their use for some , weeks , together with rubbing night and morning your Ointment , over my chest and stomach , and right side , I have by their means alone got completely cured , and to the astonishment of myself and everybody who . knows , me . —( Signed ) Matthew Harvev . —To Prolessor Houoway . _ .. ..
