      Statistics Of Crime In The Town During T...

      statistics of crime in the town during the year 1847 made their appearance about a fortnight since . The returns are classed under six different heads , and from an analysis we find that the first , embracing murder , rape , stabbing , assaults , and other offences of that character , shows that there were taken into custody 485 ; of these , 405 were assault cases , 188 of them being upon the police in the execution of their duty ; and there were discharged by the magistrates 185 ; summarily disposed of , or held to bail , 234 ; actually tried and convicted , 16 only . The offences under tbe second head embrace such crimes

      as burglary , house-breaking , robbery , & c .: there were taken into custody , 53 ; discharged by the magistrates , 11 ; committed for trial , 40 ; convicted , 24 . The third section embraces horse-stealing , embezzlement , fraud , larcenies , & c ., ond there were taken into custody . 1 , 596 ; discharged , 882 ; committed for trial , 510 ; convicted , 415 ; out of which number 202 were for simple larcenies only . In the fourth section there were 114 taken into custody for malicious offences against property , of whom 52 were discharged , and 62 summarily disposed of , or held to bail . Under the fifih head there are forgeries , uttering of counterfeit coin , & c . ; 57 were taken into custody , 51 were discharged by the magis-1 ; , i

      trates , 6 committed for trial , and 3 only convicted . The sixth section embraces drunkenness and other minor offences : there were , taken into custody , 1 , 762 ; discharged by the magistrates , 1 , 513 ; 241 were summarily disposed of : there not being a single committal for trial out of this nearly 1 , 800 persons charged with about a score different kinds of offences . The recapitulation under these heads shows that there were taken into custody in the year for various offences , 4 , 027 ; discharged by the magistrates , 2 , 694 ; summarily disposed of , 753 ; committed for trial , 580 ; convicted , 458 ; acquitted , 77 ; bills not found , & c , 45 . Of these 4 , 027 persons taken into custody , those returns further , , i ' ¦

      show , with respect to their ages , that there were of—12 years and under , males 158 , females 18 ; 16 years and above 12 , males 492 , females 62 ; 21 years and above 16 , males 726 , females 227 . Of these 4 , 027 offenders , there could neither read nor write , 1 , 832 ; read or read and write imperfectly , 1 , 965 ; read and write well , 197 ; superior education . 33 . On a general review of these statistics , it is found that of the whole number of offenders , les « than one-fifth are females , but that of the crimes of an aggravated character , these bear a proportion of more than one-third . The most promising gleam of satisfaction gathered from these returns is presented in the comparative one of the '

      last seven years , in which it is shown that , whilst there were taken into custody in 1840 , 5 , 986 persons , there were in 1847 only 4 , 027 ; and that in the former year there were 512 sentenced and convicted , in the latter 458 . The concluding table , I which presents perhaps the most lemarkable result of the whole , embraces a list of about 200 trades which have furnished these 4 , 027 offenders ; from this it appears , that under eight of these heads are to be found more than one-half of the whole amount of crime in the calendar of the town for the year . There were taken into custody—188 brass-founders , 177 button-makers , 74 carpenters , 76 casters , ' 133 gun-makers , 1 . 2 P 4 labourers , 77 shoemakers and binders , 87 no trade-total 2 , 096 . ! , * ' ' '¦

      Extraordinary Telegraphic Feat . —President Polk ' s cumbrous Message , containing upwards of 50 , 000 words {!) , was flashed all the way frem Baltimore to St Louis in twenty-four hours , and j this , too , with tbe minutest punctuation mark in the i document . Copies were also dropped , on the way , j at York , Harrisburgb , Carlisle , Chambersburgb , ! Bedford , and Pittsburgh , in Pennsylvania ; Massillon , ! Cleveland , Zanesville , Columbus , Diyton , and ) Cincinnati , in Ohio ; Madison and Evansville , in Ini diana ; Lousville , in Kentucky ; and Saline in Illinois . Tbe gentlemen who accomplished this wonderful mental , mechanical , and electrical feat are ! | { 1 j ; ; j I

      Messrs O'Rielly , of the Atlantic and Lake Telegraph Company , and H . J . Rogers of the American Telegraph Company , who wished to prove beyond all cavil that the lightning line can be made available for the transmission of large documents as well as for short messages , and we think they have pretty well satisfied the public of their ability to do it . Messrs Reddish and Hough , of Philadelphia , connected with the O'Rielly line , were detained for the most important part of tbe duty to be performed , that of writing the entire document in Baltimore . Their

      arduous task was begun on Tuesday , shortly after the Message came to hand , and at a few minutes before two o clock on Wednesday afternoon finished their almost Herculean undertaking—at which hour the sipature of James K . Polk , and the Washington date , were written as plainly and legibly as the caption had been twenty-four hours previously . The two operators were at work , relieving each other occasionally , during the entire time , with the exception of a couple of hours , when they were interrupted by a storm at the western end of the line .

      Emigration . —A youth from Nottingham was found ui the streets of Plymouth , a few days ago , asking the road to Australia .

      The Rational Mode Of Pe1 Manently And Pe...

      THE RATIONAL MODE OF PE 1 MANENTLY AND PEACEABL ADJUSTING THE PRESENT DK ORDERED STATE OF EUROPE . Third Section . . Law 16 . —• ' That this invaluable practic knowledge can be acquired solely through a exteny ive search after truth , by an accurati patient , and unprejudiced inquiry into facta i developed 1 > 7 nature . " l lEASONS FOR THIS LAW . In consequence of the false fundament ! principle on w . hfch the human character hi been alone form ed , and thereby made to b irrational , truth M * been more dreaded by tli authorities of all nations than all the evil which have yet afflit * e <* mankind . Even no * it is more dreaded by the old authorities of tb world than the most p . owerful armies that ca be brought to oppose tfu ™! . The system of th world having been based i ^ n falsehood , and sup ported merely by falsehoo d an ( J Iwute force

      both ef which , from necessity * are hourl y increasing , cannot stand the teh ' * of plain , simple , straightforward truth . Prom , this test the old system of society now shrinks likfl a coward , or vainly attempts , while supported b y numbers , to destroy the advocates of t ruth , by the sword of the ignorant , misled by I heir earlytaught prejudices . This proceeding has as yet succeeded , and in consequence , all have grievously suffered in one way or another , but all , more or less , in every rank of life , in every age , and in all countries .

      But the knowledge of facts has been ever progressive ; these are always opposed / to falsehood , and now they are arrayed in such numbers in support of truth , that it is impossible falsehood can much longer maintain its power as heretofore over the mental faculties of the human race . Falsehood is the origin of Evil among men—Truth the foundation , of . Good . And both may be thus known : — Falsehood is ever inconsistent , and opposed to facts . Truth is always consistent with itself , and in accordance with every known fact ; and that which will not stand this test cannot be true .

      There is ne consistency in making man responsible for his original qualitiesanu * powers ; for the circumstances in which he may be placed , or for his feelings , convictions , and conduct ; for these necessaril y emanate from the faculties created for him at birth , and tbe circumstances which act upon those faculties from his birth . Every fact declares that he is the being created or manufactured in mind and body by these circumstances , and therefore , that he cannot justly or advantageously be educated or governed as an existence which forma itself , its feelings , convictions , or con « duct ; the latter always proceeding from one or other , or both of the former .

      The great truth , from ignorance of which society , throughjall its ramifications , now so severel y suffers , is , that the evils in all classes over the world are not created by the individuals who suffer from them , or who make others suffer , but are the necessary effects of the false system in which all are entangled ; and from which none can escape , except by the abandonment of the whole system in p rinciple and practice , and by the adoption of an entirely new system based on another principle—a principle in accordance with all known facts , and which is uniformly consistent with itself and those facts ,

      It is only by an accurate , patient , and unprejudiced inquiry into facts , fully investigated and pursued to their legitimate consistent results , regardless of the previous ignorance of our irrational ancestors , " who have always hitherto been governed by their imagination , based on false conceptions , that truths useful to mankind can be discovered and applied beneficiall y to practice . In consequence of the characters ef all being formed on the most erroneous and absurd

      notions respecting human nature , and society itself being constructed on the same false notions , no men have yet been so placed , as to investigate facts in the manner and spirit now recommended . Thus far , it has been made to appear to be the private interest , and for the safety of all , to lend their aid to support old notions , however false and injurious ; and if they chanced to discover some of the most important truths , on which depend the permanent happiness of the human race , they have not been in a position publicly to declare them

      or if they attempted to make them public , they have fallen martyrs to their conscientious feelings . Who , on account of their private interests , or fear of an ignorant and pre . judiced public erroneously instructed from their cradle , can now venture openly to advocate the divine truths , which are given in this universal government , constitution and code of laws ; although the permanent well-doing and happiness of all of the human race are deeply involved in their promulgation and adoption ?

      Falsehood , and accumulated and accumulating errors , necessarily emanating from that falsehood , have made moral cowards of all men and women , none of whom now dare to speak the truth as they are obliged to know it by an irresistible feeling of conviction on their own minds . The most obvious , natural , and certain convictions which internally exist through life , in all who have the faculty to observe and reflect ; lie dormant in each unexpressed , and through the whole period of their existence , until they die with them when they cease to exist . It is this moral cowardice in the search after

      truth , and fear of declaring it when found , that must be overcome , before there can be any chance for man to be made a consistent , rational , and happy being . The present political and social disorder throughout the civilised world , is the fortunate breaking up of this false , unjust , cruel , and most absurd system , by which , until now , the characters of all have been formed , and by which all nations and people have been so wretchedly governed . It is now alone that truth , consistent with itself and in accordance with all facts , can prevent universal anarchy , and otherwise , interminable contests , and give peace and order to the world .

      Law If . — " That man can never attain to a state of superior and permanent happiness , until he shall be surrounded by those external circumstances only which will train him , from birth ; to feel pure charity and sincere affection toward the whole of his species , to speak the truth onl y on all occasions , and to regard with a merciful disposition all that has life , ' '

      REASONS FOR THIS LAW . Experience , through the entire history of man , proves that he has been the creature of circumstances created before his birth , and in which he has been placed by society from his birth , and a patient search after truth , by investigating facts without previous prejudices , makes it evident that man must ever be the being of the bad , mixed , or good circumstances with which he shall be surrounded from the commencement of his existence in the womb , and after his birth through life .

      This is the most important truth ever developed from the commencement of the irrational existence of human nature . For this knowledge will hereafter give the full power to society to create an inferior , mixed , or superior character for all of the human race ; and it will soon appear to be the interest of all , that the best character only should be created for every individual . But now a most inferior character is created for all , through a combination of most vicious and injurious circumstances ; of circumstances blindl y created and unwisely continued through past ages to the present , when all are severely suffering from this error so fatal to their happiness .

      Now , a necessity has arisen for these varied combinations , in different classes and different countries , of vicious and injurious circumstances , to be rationall y abandoned , and superseded by those only which are virtuous and superior } and which may be now SO eaaU y ,

Instead of governments , as heretofore , plundering and murdering the producing classes for no rational object ; and creating inferior , injurious , and vicious circumstances by which to surround them , they will , through this knowledge , discover the injustice and cruelty with tbe total want of wisdom in all such insane proceedings , and with rational foresight commence new arrangements , with which to execute the essential business of life , that is ,

      to produce and distribute wealth , formcharacter , and govern in a manner very superior to the grossly ignorant and vicious mode by whicli these proceedings are now carried on in all countries over the world . And to this statement , sad and melancholy as it is , there is not one exception . All nations , hitherto , have had their affairs conducted on the most false and injurious principles , and hence the deplorable condition in mind and bod y , in

      i which the multitude in all countries now are . Under the existing wretched system , all are trained in the language of falsehood , and in a conduct of deception , without charity for the ! feelings , thoughts , or conduct of those trained j and educated to differ from them . While , j under a system based on true principles , de-1 rived direct from nature , a new combination of I good and superior circumstances would arise ,

      i simple and easy of construction—circumstances that would ensure a language of universal truth , without motive to express a falsehood ia look , word , or action j and create feelings which would pervade the whole being with jBrcre charity and sincere affection for those taught the most to differ from us , and also create a disposition to- be kind and merciful to all- that has life ; a character that would , is * fact , go far towards creating harmony throughout terrestrial creation .

      Law 18 . — " That such superior knowledge and feelings can never be given to man under those institutions ot society which have been founded on the . ' mistaken notion that each man forms his own feelings and convictions by his will , and , therefore , has merit or demerit , deserves praise or blame , reward o ? punishment , for them . "

      REASONS FOR THIS LAW . The existing institutions of society , in consequence of being based on falsehood , can never produce a superior character , or so govern man as to produce general permanent prosperity , or to do justice to human nature either individually or in the aggregate . It is vain , therefore , to imagine , that these old institutions , based on falsehood and folly , can be longer forced upon the growing experience of the age , or maintained when the foundation on which they have been constructed is undermined , and their injustice and iniquity are made known to the population of the world .

      It is not the interest of any one living , that these institutions should permanently remain , but it is the interest of all that not one of them should be prematurely or suddenly destroyed . Due reflection will make it evident society requires for the peace and safety of all its members that these institutions , as well as all the practices of society emanating from them , should be gradually superseded by others that would be permanently beneficial to all , and that would produce no injurious consequences by their introduction or subsequent proceedings .

      NATIONAL ORGANISATION OF TRADES

      TO TBE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I hasten at this my earliest opportunity , to tender you my meed of praise for the very favourable notice which you have given to the address and objects of the trades delegates in the Northern Star . As one of the delegates , I took much interest in tbe elaboration of the fundamental principles embodied in their address , as I believe they go practically and systematically to the root of the many evils by which labour is enslaved . I , therefore , purpose , with your permission , to further develops my view * apon the land , which is the first principle enunciated by the delegates . I lock upon the second principle in their address —namely , Universal Suffrage—as the means to the end . but I am aware that there is much work

      to be done before the suffrage can be turned to proper account . The public mind requires to be thoroughly enlightened upon the justice , utlity , and benefits to be derived by the community at larpe , by making the land national property ; particularly in the agricultural district ? , whete the evil genius of modern feudalism has entwined itself around the intellect of the rural population , and laid both mind and body prostrate at its feet . I therefore trust , that when the Association , which is now rapidly progressing , shall become thoroughly established throughout the principal towns , that it will then , with discretion and indomitable energy , consecrate itself to the enlightenment of the agricultural population—and that the schoolmaster will everywhere be seat abroad

      until the young mind of this country be literally besieged with instruction ; so that when the hour of their political enfranchisement arrives , they will be able to thoroughly understand the measures and the men that must secure their emancipation , and the principles propounded by ,, the delegates seem well adapted to that end . There may , perhaps , be a difference of opinion aa to the best and most speedy manner in which the land may ba made to revert to the State ; but if the justice of the principle be admitted , the manner in which that can be bait effected will be simply a matter for deliberation . However , with your permission , I will here give an outline of what appears to me to be a just and practical mode of restoring tbe land to the people . Either the estates of the landlords may be made to revert to the State at their decease , with lull compensation to

      their heirs , or they may , as a body , sell their lands to the State , and be paid by instalments , or the present or any future government may , en the ground of compensation , decree that it shall ba bo . Thus , ii we suppose the value oi an estate to be worth £ 500 , 000 . by paying the present proprietor , or his heirs , £ 20 000 per annum the who ' e sum would be paid in twenty-five years ; asd . taking that as an average , surely it ia quite sufficient to afford the sons of the aristocracy every faoility to place them * selves in an honest way of living in the world , instead of the land passing by hereditary right into the hands of the eld est eons of our noblemen , and the rest being left to look out for places in the church , army , and nary , or their fortunes to depend upon marrying an alderman ' s daughter or some rich heiress .

      The same scale of payment may be applied to the whole of tbe land as the landlords die off—or it should be placed under the protection of the State at onoe ; and on the former plan the whole , or , at least , the principal portion of it , would revert to the State in less tban thirty years . The question may suggest itself to such that have not considered this subject—where is the money to come from te pay the landlords ? I answer at once , from the rents derived from the land , aa it reverts to the state . For instance , suppose the average orice of land to be £ 40 per acre , an estate worth £ 500 , 000 would contain 12 , 500 acres . Allowing that to be

      let at £ 2 per acre , it wonld yield a revenue of £ 25 000 per annum , whioh would have a surplus of £ 5 , 000 for revenue purposes , after having paid the landlord his annual instalment of £ 20 , 000 . The same principle may be applied te the whole of the land at once , In the parliamentary papers , appendix II , ' Irish Foor Inquiry , ' part I , table 2 , the cultivated lands of Great Britain are stated at 31 , 014 , 000 acres—the uncultivated at 22 , 570 300 acres . The cultivated acres of Ireland ( see 'Public Works Report'for 1835 , page 107 ) are set down at 12 , 125 , 280 acres , which , being added to the former , makes the tJal number of acres of cultivated land in the united kingdom amount to 46139 , 280 .

      Allow the annual income of landlords , from all sources , derivable from the raw material of land , both from the boweh of the earth and its surface , to be £ 150 , 000 , 000 , which is far below the mark , considering that one-half of that sum ia paid aa rents by tenant farmers , and a much greater sum from expired leases of household property , ground rents of unexpired leases , rents for coal , lead , copper , iron , and other mines , slate , and stone quarries of various descriptions ; fisheries , turberles , game , and other sources of income . So that if we set the whole of the land tf the United Kingdom , both cultivated and uncultivated , down at 70 , 000 . 000 acres , we shall

      find , aeeording to that calculation , that the landlords receive , upea an average , £ 2 3 a . per acre for every aere of land they possess ; and without overcrowding this article with eupeiUncus statistics , I have no hesitation in saying that my ealculationa are much below the mark . It is therefore clear that if the land should gradually revert to the State we should not only be able to meet all liabilities but have a considerable surplus , which would enable ub to reduce on ; custom and excise duties , gradually reduce the rents on land , until the whole of it became national property , when custom and excise duties might be totally Abolished , and all the rent tbat would be required

      hi ii in r ~ - _ ninr ¦ - i inn H m —~* from land would simply be a mere rent tax to meet thJ general exigencies of the State , as stated in the adJreee of the delegates . Then , and not till then , we shall have a real veritable Free-trade , instead of the monstrous misnomer called Frae-trade at the present time . If the Parliament , in the manner here proposed , had dealt with the encumbered estates in Ireland , iastead of theminw * in which they will be disposed of by the provisions of the bill of last seesion , the most salutary effects in a few years would have b » en produced to that unhappy ountry ^ . batnadertho provisions of that Mt , the mult will be the substitution of ussrera and money lordsfor the original territorial arisftwraoy . II is

      , Impossible for me te say ia what maner a Parliament , representing the wishes ef tat whole people , would restore the kind te then ; but I have no heai . tation in saying , ( hat we may as well expect to arrest the eearse sf time by stopping the dial of St Pail ' s Cathedral , as to expect te snure justice to the people , or prosperity to the empire , while our present landed tenume continue te exist . Let , therefore , a general uadevstaading among Chartists , Socialists , and Trades' Unioaists—at least upon the question of the Land—be come to , and extend that knowledge to the rural districts , whieh , politically speaking , may ba said U have no existence . Let it everywhere be proclaimed by their firesides and in their workshops—ia the valley and

      on the mountain—that the nniversal right of tbe people to the soil ia based upon a principle of eternal justice , and the true and mset phlltBophical mode of dealing with it is to place it under the protection of the State—the Slate , meaning the whole universal people , divided into any number of electoral districts , aa set forth in the Charter—or federal states , which is the same thing ; so that , by an equal distribution of power , the possibility of government patronage is prevented—while , at tbo same time , ft ealntwy local power would be possessed by the people to eompel the public functionaries they elected to afford every facility sndfairplay to the people , either to cultivate the laid vn their own individual responsibility , or any number to associate together and cultivate the

      soil in their associated capacity . Do that ; and the means to JaJwsr are at once ' organised , ' whioh will do more for the settlement of this question of the association » r ' Organisation ef Labour , ' than eve ? can be done by a thousand years of discussion . It would destroy & 9 conteation , because it would esta * Wish real liberty . No man has a right to compel another to enter a community agains ; his will , even though he who would compel him , takes the correct and meat ptaloeop & ic view of what ia moatsuitable for human nature . On the other hawJ , who are they who dare to say t * a workman Your labour is my property . Ton must dispose ef it at toy price , and c » Rtinue to work for me as my slaw , or otherwise you shall not work . 1 deny your right to associate with ethers as a community V

      Both of these extremes are tyrannyr It appears to me that the great question first to be settled is not so much the ' Organisation of Labour /" as tbe orga * nmticn of the means of labour . The best way , in my opinion ^ o organise the means te labour—if we look at the question in a nationa & point of view—would be to make tha land national proner » y » -to afford every facility either for assooiatad or individual labourand the true settlement of the Labour Question would follow , with as much-certainty as water finds its level , sad as unerringly as the needle tends towards th ® pole . But while the real democracy is divided in itself , and disputing about abstract dogmas , or coatecdlng for the superiority of the- association of Labour over individual exertion , and vice

      versa , it must be clear that instead of uniting to create a system of government under whioh both principles woald be fairly and speedily tested , they 9 re playing the game of their opponents in the-aaest effectual manner . I sincerely trust the members of the Trades' Organisation will direct their exertbss to the creation of this good and friendly feeling among all real reformers , to create va . extensive and <>¦ - lightened public opinion—in short , to secure , as far as possible , a unanimity of action and sentiment among : the people , whether they be Trades' Unionists , Chartists , or Socialists , apon this question of the Land ; and when tbe full recognition ef that principle is established , it will be found that all disputes will cease as to the manner in whisb they shall employ themselves in its cultivation , because each will be at full liberty to test the principle of individualism or association ; and it will then be found that

      practice and experience will settle what has been the dispute of ages , and what must continue to be disputed in future generations , unless all who are agreed to the universal right of the people to the soil , adhere unanimously to that point , and leave it to time to settle the question of superiority of a cooperative , or competitive itate of society . les , it is time alone—the sole arbitrator of human affairsthat must settle this all-important question . But it is the intelligence , the energy , the concentrated action of the democracy of Europe that must accelerate its consummation . The trades will have to take up this question sooner or later , and 1 implore them to commence at onee ; it is the only means by which they can find that protection and reward for their labour , which they have in vain sought to accomplish by Trades Unions , and all because they have left untouched the primary causes by whieh labour is enslaved .

      Eamkquakb.—The Shock, Of The Earthquake ...

      Eamkquakb . —The shock , of the earthquake felt on Saturday , Deo . 27 . at Bois-le-Duc ( Netherlands ) , was equally perceptible at O .-s , Gtffell , Nulland , Schyndel , Heerwyk . Dinther , Eindhoven , and above all at Nistenroode and Werstenboeoh . In the latter commune the shock was so strong that _ stones were shaken from chimneys , and plates and dishes fell out of cupboards . It is remarkable that this phenomenon shortly preceded the-considerable change which has taken place in the weather . The Abnemschx Courani informs us that this shook was felt likwiae at Arnhena . In that town it lasted for four seconds , and caused objects hanging from the ceilings of the houses to vibrate . —Brussels Herald .

      Golo Mises in Enoiaho . —While we have American returns of gold mines in California , we are well pleased to find that at home parties do not lose sight of the precious metal . It is well known that our metalliferous rocks and Icdes yield gold and silver , although , in most instances , teo minute to render them of any commercial value , and generally speaking being found in the gossans . It is now some months since that attention was directed , through our columns , to the produce of gold is Merionethshire ; and although the question may be open as to whether the sovereign is obtained minus or plus the value , yet the fact has been elucidated that the mineral lodes in North Wales yield gold , a bar of

      which , weighing 3 b . 7 oz ., has been placed in our own hand ' , as the product of the Cwm-hesian Mine , near Dolgolly . The mine is worked for lead , and the lode is represented to us as being ' interlaced' with strings of gold . Some six n seven pounds of the precious metal have been obtained , and the ore at bank will we are informed , yield at least 200 oz . of gold . We merely mention the circumstance with the view of directing the attention of eur readers who may possess information on a subject so important as that mooted—tbe extraction of gold from our mineral veins . We are well aware that the matter is one » f pounds , shillings , and pence , and having noticed it , we leave it to others to enter into further detail . —^ ftntner Journal .

      Immense Import op Foreign Grain . —During the last few days the arrivals of grain to this port have been very considerable , and in consequence of the greater part having been bonded , pending the reduction of the duty to Is ., per quarter , which ia to take effect on the 1 st February , 1849 , warehouse room has been difficult to obtain . The fallowing are the quantities now in bond at this port -. —Wheat ; 30 . 000 qrs . ; barley . 21 . 000 qrs . ; oais , 4 . 000 qra . : peas , 7 000 qrs . ; beans , 12 , 000 qra . ; rye meal . 800 owt .

      The Loss of thb Mutink . —The following is an extract from a letter , containing a detailed account of the lo « s of the Mutine . The letter is dated Venice , December 24 th , 1848 . — ' Fearful that ex aggerated reports may reach home , I write by the earliest opportunity to inform you of the wreck of the Mutine , whieh took place on the 21 st at Palestrina , about ten miles from Venice , in one of the heaviest gales ot wind ( commonly called ' Boras' in this part of the world ) I ever saw . Fortunately every one has been saved , with the exception of four officers and one marine , vis ., Edward White ( acting mate ) , drowned in a most gallant attempt to get on shore in the dingy with a line ; H . E . Charlton , ( acting mate , ) dead from exhaustion and intense

      oold ; James Burke , ( assistant-surgeon , ) whose death was eansed in a similar manner ; James Dowse , ( carpenter , ) who fell out of the bowline knot as they were hauling him on shore , and was drowned ; and Edward James , ( private , Royal Marines , ) found frozen to death under the forecastle . How so many were saved appears to be almost miraculous , after being exposed nearly thirty hours to the most dreadful weather ; the cold being so intense that the seas frcaa on everything as they came on bsard . Many are suffering severely trora their hands and feet being frostbitten . It is impossible to speak too highly of the kindness and hospitality evinced by the inhabitants and authorities of Palestrina , who seized officers and mea as they were landed , and carried them up into the houses , actually giving up their own beds ,

      ana supplying tnem with warm drinks , and , in fact , doing everything their dearest friends could have done for them . The ship is now lying within twenty yards of the shore , ( having beaten over three quarters of » mile of shoal water , ) with her masts and rudder gone , and back broken . It is expected we S wt the l ? . ° J ^ tWngs on board , though there is no hope for the ship , The people on board were landed by means of a hawser run ou to the shew , with a bowline-knot and hauling-line . t HoBSEBJORiHH Frskch RwcBUO .-We understand that the government of Franca has a number or agents in this country purchasing horses suitable tor troopers .

' To discover , if possible , how , by such means , profitable and constant employment can be found for all the people . The whale earth is the stage on which this tragedy will be performed . The weal or wee of the whole race of mankind is the stake in this game !

      Tha contemplation of the immense and universal changes that must , for many years , pass over the prospects and conditions of every class of people and nation is perplexing and distracting * Competition is so longer curbed ! He is emancipated ; and , unrestrained , ascends his triumphal oar , to propagate throughout the globe the worship of 'tha sod' Cheapness" !—to sacrifice life , honour , truth , at ' m shrine ! Under his banner are ranged the greedy ; thirsty , worshippers of waalth , resolved at all hazards , by cheapening labour everywhere , to enrich themselves ! Emulation and strife—the destroyers of peace and

      happiness—are . let loose upon mankind ! The miversa ! contest for pre-eminence is unceasingly maintained I Wealth and power are sought for in cheapness-and exterminating toil I In that game , depression must succeed depression , until the starving point is realised , and the cheapest country wins , when enfeebled by the strife—in maddened feebleness—panting and exhausted' , she is crowned 'the workshop-of the world . ' But ere that goal is gained , hundreds of millions of property will have b « en destroyed ; millions of human beinea will era thea have been sacrificed in the worship of the demos ' cheapness /

      I will n » 4 assay to describe the-horrors of that field of universal waste and slaughter ; nor will I pretend to name the conqueror ; I am contend to ask—Who will' reap the benefit of those incalculable losses and innumerable humin ea--crlfiees ? Willi the labourers be tbo gaineri In tbafc victory T Their wages must , of necessity , be reduced to the starvation limit . Will the- farmers gain by that conquest ? Their produce must be at the lowest point . Will the landlords be the reapers , in that harvest t When ' Cheapness has done her work , rents will be nominal ! The wages of the artisans , the profit of the manufacturers and the shopkeepers , must , under that pressure , be reduced to the bankrupt standard 1

      Fellow-Countrymen—In that war none can gain , save a very few merchants of enormous- wealth , and those persons whs-enjoy a fixed money income . But it in scarcely to be imagined that , amid'such . universal devastation , security can be maintained ! What then ? Should nature rebel against tbe tyranny of * Cheapness , ' those few who fancy that * , they are ee « eured from « very risk would be overwhelmed and sacrificed in that terrible reaction , the natural result of their extortion I What boots it , then , should England prove the c « nemeror ? Her eons would be enfeebled and impoverished ! She would become a land of sterile barrenness I

      She could not maintain her ascendancy , both ia agriculture and manufacture . Where , then , would be the promised increase in the produce of her fields ? Her soil would be uncultivated , because , from foreign lands , the food of man could be procured at a ' cheaper' rate . The surface of our country would be dotted and blackened with manufactories ! And you , my fellow countrymen , would universally seek employment in mines , and pits , and furnaces , and mills , subject to the endless changes wrought by unceasing competition—now one trade being ' all the go , ' and then another—forcing you to change your home and crafts , and migrate from district to district as' Cheapness' led the way I You would depend fe * food on foreigners , consoled by the reflection , ' Eegland is the workshop of tha world . '

      Should England chance to lose the game , how then ? Her wealth would be destroyed , her fields neglected , her mills and warehouses dismantled I She would be reduced to second childhood—imbecile and weak—an easy prey to her successful rivals ! Soon she would be numbered one of their tributaries ! Ia sober seriousness I ask my fellow-eonntrymen , Is it wise or safe to enter en a game where gain a desolation , where leas is subjugation ? Have I mistaken the progress and effects of

      rampant competition ? Let it be shown . Words , in my opinion , are too weak to give the fall description of the deaths , disorders lessee , aid derangements that must universally follow when the greedy worshippers ) of ' Cheapness ' are let loose upon mankind . Language cannot describe the fall of those mighty and multitudinous interests that will be engaged in mortal conflict for existence when ' free selling aa Tiell as free buying , or Free Trade , fully and fairly carried out , ' shall have become the law of the whole earth .

      In England , as elsewhere , every branch of manufacture and agriculture , with the hundreds of millions of persons and the thousands of millions of capital engaged therein , must be subjected to perpetual fluctuation . Each counting house would imbibe the restless , agonising spirit of the Stock Exchange I The breasts of emoloyers and shop , keepers would be tortured and racked between tha perpetual flickerings of hope , fear , and despair ! The workpeople could never calculate their earnings , or the certainty or nature of their employmentsthey would necessarily become reckless and improvident—uncertainty and anxiety would drive them to distraction ! In fact , the minds of all would be aa stretched on tenter hooka '—life would become a burden—the p , rave , man ' s sole repose . But , ' la those days shall men seek death , and shall not find it ; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them . '

      Our manufacturing . towns-Birmingham , Bradford Coventry , Glasgow , Hanley , Huddersfield . Leeds , Leicester , Manchester , Northampton Nor . wich , Nottingham , Sheffield , Worcester , and other places , would change their manufactures , inhabitant * , pnees , and wages , at the bidding of their foreieri rivals . Those , again , being , in their turn , depressed and changed by the spirit of English mastership , desperately struggling for ascendency ; each , weak ! ened by successive losses , would be driven from the field of competition , crippled , disabled , ru ' ned » At last , the oheape it' being the winner , would become the workshop of an impoverished world .

      Do you imagine that manufacturers aad tradesmen will cease to operate when losses overbalance profits * Then are yen ignorant of the effects upon the human mind of unrestrained competition . Thereby man ia Beaded to madness ; ho forgets the tradesman's feelings and habits , and unconsciously becomes a reckless gambler , willing to risk his all upon 'the tarn of the market . ' v Hitherto I have failed to discover the benefits promised as the result of Mr W . Rand ' s third and last remedy . In my next , for want of room in this , I will resume my search , Meantime , fellowoountyrmen , try to solve this problem . Buy at the cheapest market , ' say our bree-trade wiseacres . Ireland has done so ; her labour is surely as cheap as Midas himself could w » h
