      TUE LABOURER . A MONTHLY MAGAZINE OF POLITICS , LITERATURE , POBTM , & c . Edited by Feahqcs O'Cossob , Esq ., and Ernest Joses , Esq . I . ond ui : Northern i'tar office . The large and increasing sale of this infant magazine proves that the public are © four way of thinking as regards its merits . The March number will sot disappoint these who have read thi two preceding number * . Ons or two of tbe papers arc briefer than weeeuld have wished , but this , we suppose , was unavoidable , to make room for " The iW Man ' s Legal . Manual , " a moat valuable feature , which wa tope to see Continued . The subject discoursed of tn the " Manual" for this month is the JSew Act for the Eecoreryot Small Debts , and there of oar reader * Trim may have any occasion to be interested regarding tb . it Act , whether as debtors or creditors , will do well to expend sixpence in the purchase of this month ' s " Labourer , " wherein they will find the entire provisions of the said Act rendered as plain

      as A . B . C . Mr . O'Connor ' s letter on " The Land and its Capabilities , " in reply to the "Shopkeeper of Plymouth , " whicn appeared in this Journal of January 50 th , and which excited so much interest , is reprinted in this number of the " Labourer . " This latter explains in brief and simple terms the capability of occupants on the Chartist Farms to Jive weil , sav « money , and with that money become proprietors of their larm-baldings ia tlie course of atlwyeatsseven at tae farthest . The statements and calculations contained is this letter a child may understand , and understanding may therewith demolish the fallacies of " Whistlers" and all other humbugs . "The Phase of Political Parties" introduces the reader to a timely letter to the Prime Minister , the best praise of which will be the quotation of the following extract : —

      10 TUE RIGHT BOX . LORD JOES BCS 5 SLL . My Lord , you have cot yet seen the beginning of th « end—rely upon it that you have not ; aud , before we slightly touch the probable future , and the best means of meeting it , let us implore of yoa to believe that nun with brains not to be stultified by conventional impressions , however frequent aud familiar fashion may have made them , will vet laugii at your nhole policy when the Famine Trageey has been played out . Have you thought seriously ot the frightful lesson you are now teaching the Irish ptopie ; and should famine desolate the laud , hare you ev-. r ib u ^ ht of the consequences to this country and to Europe ? True , the moment of leant is not the exact moment of reflection ; but what will tbe reader of yiur biography say tu this picture ! " The n-sble Loid John Kussell was the leader of the Whig party in power when the fiigbtful famine commenced in 1845 , bat does not appear to bave had n-. rve to meet the calamity . AU thought of Ireland was lost in the interests of his City

      supporters , whose deb-gate he was . He tried three very uncertain measures for dealing with a national calamity . Firstly , a prayer composed by the Archbishop of Canterbury , asking Almightj God to avert what a bad system had created . Secondly , au appeal by tbe Queen to tbe people , iu tbe form of a royal letter , resorted to on such occasions in those dajs . Aud lastly , a M . Sojer , COOK TO A CLUB HOUSE , was transported to " reland to aid in producing ECONOMICAL SOUP f „ the people to liva upon ; a teature of political economy that appears ludicrous , wbtn , by tbe returns of the three previoasyears , we find that Ireland bad exported to England several million quarters of all kinds of grain , as well as live Stock and other eatables aud valuabUt of all drscript ' . oiiS of produce ; indeed , to fin extent which in these « 1 _ s makes the question of famine in such a country appear more like a riddle than a reality . " Now , my lord , rely upon it that such will be the oilmen of the historian who Shall write the history of the present time * , whin the Shackles of party shall be taken off the TEH .

      My lord , yon have done wiiely in stinti ' j g war-borses some little of tbtrir lood , and your next ir . ove must be to lay race-horses , hunters , hounds , and -all pleasure-horses Hinder a like restriction , and then jo _ will have to sti . p _ tl distillation from grains of all sorts , as it is useless , 3 UJ , St * ; -d , : . . -J .

      yet it would not be one whit more ridiculous than tht em . ployment of military men in agricultural service .

Tho story . sasad on . and pamfall j « r . ibitaih « sufferings of the people , the crimes of the priests and the withering influences of superstition . From "The Romance of a People we extractthe following wild and exciting description of

      THE DSAD DRIVER . A gloomy n ^ ht of win ter bad foldsd its clouds around the towers of Sandomir , when the Palatine , as was hii wont , proposed to issue forth on one of thoso secret missions ha had sa long successfully fulfilled . There was but one w " ho accompanied him on these occasi nsan old and long . trisd vassal , who claimed kindred to Theresa , aud was , therefore , cherished . To none otbsr was known whither he want , nor how he returned . Though his absence had ef late been frequtut and prolonged , its object had never been discovered , nor had he been noticed by the emissaries of government ; but ot late a party of men bad barn seen lurking in the neigh , bourhood of the castle—an unusual circumstauce , for the country around had become a desert , under tbe blight of Constantiue ' s misrule . A large black bound bad likewise been observed circling round the walls , and seeming the track of whoever crested their precinct * .

      It was intensely dark , and a cold mist lay upon thy earth , through which at times fell , slow and lasily , straggllng flak as of snow . A sledge was brought round to a postern of ths castle by the old and faithful servant , the door was re . closed , tht Palatine acd his companion mouaUd , and the bell-less horses started forth on the soon- in silence . But at th . same moment a dark mass , that bad betu reposing beneath the wall , started upward , like a demon out of th * earth ; a yell » s of fitrce delight rang on the spat , and the black shape glided behind th * Heeling car . Th < Palatine and his companion wsr . startled at the unearthly apparition . Whether thsy quickened their speed , or relaxed it , still that strange form was close btbiad upon their track . " What can it be 1 " exclaimed tbe c » unt . "It is not like anything human , nor could wan follow to fast . Fire ! aad we shall discover what it is . "

      Hit attendaat obeytd , and by the light of the red flash , they beheld the black hound that had lurked around the castle . It bayed deeply , with a muttering sound , like imprecation . "Goodhcavtu ! we are discovered and pursued ! On ! on !" "Shall 1 fire again !" "No . Ic mijht bring our enemies down upon us a once . Hark ! How that cursed hound bays , as though it were a signal ! On!—on 1 " With frenzied speed on Hew the horses : no tread aanouneed their progress , nor hoof nor sleigh gave a sound , as they whirled on over the soft show , that now came down thick and fast . A sharp blast arose , bringing the cold with it from tht north , whilst the frosty mitts sailed by in almost palpable'forms , like a spectral rout .

      On ! en ! away ! away ! Silent and swift rushed that strange flight , amid storm and darkness , to that the fantastic outlines of the vapours , and the weird shapa « f ths tracking hound , alone were discsrnible , and that but at intervals , through the universal gloom . The cold grew keener and keener , and tht deep baying of the pursutr rang clear upon the night air . From time to time the Falatiae addressed words of encouragement to his companion , who gave no reply ; but whenever h » spoke appeared to urge the panting horses to greater speed , for they more flaw than ran over the vast suow plains , along which , at far intervals , ttragding lights of scattered villages dived up and disappeared , left far behind almost as soon as passed . At length tlie baying of the bound ceatid altogether , and it ran steadily by the side of the sledge , its fi » rr eyes turned to those it bore , with a kok of fi « rce hunger .

      " . See . my frisnd ! " exclaimed the count , "It scarce looks earthly . Haste' We must soon arrive at our place of meeting . What strange shapes tha night mist assumes ! Methought , aven now , there were horsemen prickin ; on before our sledge . But haste ! Tbe frost will kill us . How tbe cold gains strength !" His companion replied not ; but still they rushed oa with uu : lackt-ccd speed : the silence was agniu unbroken , save by the ringing storm—and the time flew by . till th * Palatine , surprised at the ususual length of ths joumsy , again r . darejsed hisattetidaut , — " Anselm ! You must have mistaken the way . We never were thus long before , " There cume no reply . "Ansslm ! awake ! Surely ha sleeps . The track is lost , and we shall mist our friends . Answer me , Anselm !"

      isti ' . l the s * rf replied not . The couut strove to rise , but in vain—it seemed as though impalpable fetters boand him , his limbs were powerless with the intensity of the cold . "Anselui ! " he cried ; but again there came no answer , and a drtad thought smote him . With difficulty he stretched bis arm towards his companion—the latter was stiff and motionless ; it was but too true , the frost had done its work , the rein * were held by a corse , the dead had been bis driver ! Ye : the sledge flew on , and turned and veered as though tbe spirit of Anselm still guided tht horses ; while powerless , scarcely able to speak , sat the doomed conspirator . He strained his gaze with freuzied eager . uess to see if he could discern a human form , butau indistinct and saiftin ; shade wrapped every ubject . At length the storm parted above , and grey light fell down from heaven . It revealed a body of grim horsemen following the sledge , while two had ridden on before , and seized the reins .

      " Wi . o are ye I Whither go ye !! ' ga < iptd the Palatine . " To the Bclvidere P was the reply ; and on whirled the race ; steed succeeded steed , as they flagged and died ; rivers aud hills glided past ; towars and domes flitted by ; morning and night sunk ovar tham , aud the dungeon gat « s closed on the abducted patriot . Thegovernment , having discovered the traces of a conspiracy in which tbe Palatine was implicated , had posted a party of Cossacks Bear his castle , charged to follow him secretly to the meeting-place of the rebels , and thus at once to secure all implicated . Assisted by tin sleuth-hound , lest they should lose the track iu the darkness , they had followed close behind the sledge . It was then that the death of Anselm had saved thai vastconspiracy , for bad he lived to guide his master to the spot of their destination , all had been discovered aud lost . When the Cossacks found , by the exclamations if their prisoner , that Ansklm was dead and the track mistaken , pursuant to their further order , the ) seized ths reins , aud hurriid the Palatine on to th * lWvidere .

      This chapter concludes Tfith a truly poetical—we might say sublime picture of the destruction of the castie ol ihe Palatine and its brave defenders , and the heroic self-immolation of the maniac lsdy , the wife of the n-jble Pole . The " Confessions of a Kin ;; " two poems— " The Lite of a Flower , " and "The Good Old Days ;;" " Reviews , " die ., make up the remaining contents oi this number . We observe an announcement that a considerable portion of tbe April number will be devoted to a consideration and explanation of the Bank in its relation to the National Land Company .

Why does it not send tome of its trects to tbe lord mayor aud tht worshipful aldermen ! What is tha Peace Society about , that it does not udeavour to put down the xctkly aud yearly war

      Iiowltt's Journal. Edited By William And...

      some years ago by Air . Perkins , a country gentleman , who succeeded , alter the fiercest opposition oa the part of the London corporation , in obtaining an act of parliament to authorise tbe building of his market , which is thus described : —

      TBI MEW CATTLI MABKET AT IlLlNOTOtr . The ground admitted of perfect draining , and is now as sound as an acorn . Sheds were completed capable of housing in full comfort of 3 , 000 cattle . There were two well * » onk , which supplied each a tank . The tanks were kept supplied with water by a kind of wind engine , which raised the water at the rate of two hundred gallous per minute , without apparently lowering it in the wellt , filled the tanks , aud the tanks overflowed into pipes which conveyed the water to the troughs in every stall , and to every part of the area . This great area was fitted up with pins and stalls . The stalls for cattle were paved with granite , and fenced witn stout oaken framework . -The pens , for sheep , far more roomy than those at Smitbfleld , were all paved with bricks , and fenced with cast-iron railing . Ia the centre of the uuvHet were built four banking houiet , where the poaey traniactiom of the market could be made .

      The shcep-pens were calculated to hold 40 , 000 sheep , and there was sufficient space for the accommodation of 20 , 000 cattle . All was ready . Everything was in appearance favourable for business , but this business did not come . Because the London corporation , the butchers , the Smithfield publicans , and other " sinners , " were unhappily too strong for the projector of the new market . We don't wish the members of the London corporation any harm , but if , some fine morning , tho Lord -Mayor , or two or three jolly old Aldermen , should be tossed and gored and pitched "to 'he devil somewhat ere their time , " although , no doubt , such a catastrophe would sorely affect us , still we should have this consolation to mitigate our grief , that the sad event would greatly

      accelerate the abolition of" the Smithfield nuisance . Putting a lord in the pillory was the shortest way to bring that barbarism to an end , and a mad bull goring and tossing a purple-faced , pot-bellied Alderman would give the quietus to a national disgrace which has outlived the pillory too many years . How dare the Rovernment allow the continuance of this nuisance for one day longer f Mr . Perkins ' market should be bought by thogovernment , and made national property , and thia Smithfield abomination put down by " the strong arm of the law . " Why is not this done ? Or rather , why do the English people submit to be ruled by the aristocratic

      imbeciles and money-mongering scoundrels , who fatten and profit by such enormous evils as this horrible Smithfield market ? Mr . llowitt contributes several other papers , to wit , a pleasant and itasonablt article on the month—February ; a continuation of his charming description of " The Odenwald . " in which we are introduced to the famous town of Weinsberg , and the poet Justinus Kerner ; Init the mest impwtaat of Mr . llowitt ' s contributions is , his appeal to the English people in behalf of the people of Ireland , which we copied into this journal of February 20 th .. That appeal stamps Mr . llowitt a true philanthropist and veritable patriot , and does him infinite honour .

      One of the most wonderful stones we ever readif true as it professes to be , then certainly the most wonderful—is the history of " The 1 hilanthropic Assassin , " one Raoul Croc alias Gottlikb Kin-halter , contained in this Part of llowitt ' s Journal . This miscreant , though a Germar , was a disciple of " the great English Malthus , " and . ' ; bcHevine , like his teacher , that tho world was overerowded , he set about rectifying that misfortune by murdering as many people as he could ! " He confessed io having killed twenty-seven individuals ; to have occasioned

      the execution of five others , who were accused and found guilty of the murders ; and to have wounded fourteen others . " jThis prince of political economists should have his bust erected in every union workhouse and free-trade factory-bell . Why does ' not John Bright propo ? o a Parliamentary grant for a national monument to Raoul Ccoc ? Let every hater of the political economists buy this Part of llowitt ' i Journal , or if they cannot afford to buy the Part , then buy Nos . 8 and 9 and read ( his story for themselves . It is the most tremendous " counterblast" Maithusianism has ever encountered .

      Papers on " Physiology for the People , " " Universal Language , " and other subjects , are well worthy of notice , but want of mom forbids . We must , however , make way for a del iithtful little poem , in which Mary llowitt has some share : —

      THE LOVER . F & OK THE GEBHAN OP DEINEICSI VQS 3 The maiden wiih brown eyes and hair Cams o ' er the dewy meadows ; The nightingales were singing clear , Among the evening shadows . 1 saw and heard her stepping free ; She passed like sunshine o ' er the lea ; 1 saw she was the girl for me ! Her skirts were lifted from the dew ; Htr boddice fitted tightly : Herplaited hair , her apron blue , The mght . breeze wafted lightly ; Herstockinsp white , as white could be ; Said I , that maiden fair to tea Is just the very girl for me 1 The brindlecowher call obeyed ,

      Came all the meadows thorough ; And as she milked , said I , " Swtet tnaid , God shield thte from all sorrow I " She looked with eyes no bright and free ; Said I , she is the girl for me ; She shall my heart ' s beloved be 1 Her eyes they teemed to answer "Yes ;" My heart with love wss gushing ; And I contrived rcy lips tt press Upon her warm cheek , blushing , That blushing chetk , so fresh to see 1 Said I , this maiden , fair and free , She is the vary girl for me 1

      I helped her over hsdge and stile , With frothy milk-pail laden ; And tang to scare tbe goblins vile That might affright the maiden ; For now ' twas dark b y bush and tree ; And said I , " maiden dear to me , Wilt thou my heart ' s belovsd be V — " Wherefore so late ! " her mother cried , In wrath htr daughter viewing , " Soft , gentle mother !'' I replied , ¦ ' Thy daughter I ' ve been wooing : Givs thy consent— -then bless'd are we ! Sweet mother , givt consent , for she Is willing my beloved to be 1 "

      MARYLEBONE THEATRE . We paid a visit to this comfortable little suburban theatre on Tuesday evening last , and were by no means diiappointed at the bill of fare pressated for public approval . The performances commenced with the wellknown and deservedly papular play of " William Tell ;" followed by the laughable piece of "Robert le Grange , " and concluding with "Black . Eyed Susan . " Of the plot of tlie « e pieces we apprehend but few of our readers can be unacquainted . The continued repetition of their representation at our various placet of public amusement has not lessened the love for true liberty , so beautifully and forcibly depicted in tht character of Tell , nor created hts admiration of the manly courage of the British tar , whose true nobility is made manifest in so

      coaspicuous a manner throughout the entire latttr dramn . Mr . Rayner , as Tell , was very t-ffVctive throughout : nor « ' ^ st we or ., ' - * * . r voWrti the Albert of Miss . '¦ : ¦ .

      POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . The lecturer on natural philosophy of this establishment , Dr . Bachhoffner , has been engaged iu delivering lectures on astronomy . This gentleman stated , on Monday last , that the lecture which he was about to deliver was intended as an outline of the various subjests that would be dwelt up > n more at large in the subsequent lectures . He endeavoured to impress upon his audience the importance and pleasure derived even from a slight acquaintance with this sublime scitnee . The lecturer , after describing the erroneous views of Ptolemy , and the dogmas of Aristotle , which had enthralled the world for more than 1 , 400 years , as aleo Uie abortive attempts ot Tycho Brahe , thra directed tho attention of his auditors to the only true system , originally taught by Pythagoras , and revived b y Coperniem , and finally fixed on more solid foundation by the labours of Galileo , Kepler , Newton , La Plase , aud others—that , although tht destroy ing hand of Time must and will level to the dust the most gorgeous fabric of man ' s genius , yet this would undoubtedly flourish as the ouly true system until tha end ci

      The Prussian Constitution. (Froth Our Ge...

      THE PRUSSIAN CONSTITUTION . ( Froth our German Correspondn > t . ) At 'last thi . s long-expected piece of workmanshi p Ira made i ' . s appearance . ' At last—if wo believo the Timet , fiiobe , some French and some German papers-Prussia has passed over to the ranks of constitutional countries . The Aor < A < rf » Star , however , has already sufficiently provod that this so-called Constitution it nothing but a trap offered to the Prussian people to cheat them of tho rights promised by the late kiiv . ' , at the time ho wanted popular support . That tins is the fact , that Frederick William triea by this so-called Constitution to obtain mosey without being obliged to make concessions to public opinion , is certain beyond all doubt . The democratic papers of all

      conntrica-iii b ranee , particularly the National and heforme , nay , tlie ministerial Journal dti Dtbati , — agree in this opinion . The fettered German press itself stammers words which allow no other conclusion but that the movement party in Prussia is quite aware ol the sly intentions of their " open-hearted generous" king . The question then is this : will the kins succeed in his plans ? Will ths Central Assembly of Estates be either stupid or cowardly enough to guarantee a new loan , without securing to the people extended liberties , and thus give the king the means to continue the present syiteiu for an indefinite length of time ? We answer : No ; they will not , thev cannot .

      I lie hitherto followed plan of government in Prussia was the consequence of the relative position of the nobility and the middle classes in Prussia . The nobility had lost too much ofitsformcrstrength , wealtlun * inftnence , todominat » the king as formerly it had done . The middle classes were not yet strong enough to overcome the dead weight of the nobility , which cramped their ccnimtrcial and industrial progress . Thus the king , representing the central power of the state , and supported by the numerous class of government officers , eirii and military , besides having the army at his disposal , was enabled to keep down the middle classes by the nobility , and the nobility by the middle classes , by flattering now the interests of the one . and then those of tlie other ; and balancing , as much as passible , the influence of both . This stage of absolute monarchy has been gone through by almost all the cirilizsd countriesof Europe , and in those mostadvanced it has now given place to the government ef the middle classes .

      Prussia , the most advanced of German countries , bad hitherto wanted a middle class , wealthy , strong , united and . energetic enough to shake off the domination of absolutism , and to crush the remains of feudal nobility . The two o attending elements , nobility and middle classes , are , however , placet in such circumstances , that by tho natural progress of inuu .-try and civilization , tho one ( the middle classes ) must increase in wealth and influence , while the other ( the nobility ) must decrease , impoverish and lose more aid more its ascendancy . While , therefore , the Prussian nobility and large landed proprietors , found themselves every y * ar in a worse position , first , by the ruinous wars with France in the beginning of this century ; then by the English Corn Laws , which shut them out from the market of that country ; then by the competition of Australia , in one of their

      chief productions , wool , and by many other oircumst : mci s — the middle classes of Prussia increased cnonnoui . lv in wealth , productive powers , and influence in general . The wars with Fiance , ths shutting out of English manufactured goods from ths Continental markets , created manufacturing industry in Prussia ; and when peace was re-established , the upstart manufacturers were powerful enough to force government to gram them protective duties ( 1 S 18 ) . Soon afterwards , tiie Zollverein was founded , a union which ulniOft exclusively advanced the interests of the middle clawe-. And , above all , tha violent competitive struggle arising between the different trading and manufacturing nations during these last 30 years ol l > cacc , forced the somewhat indolent Prussian middle cla .-ses , either to allow themselves to be entirely ruined by foreign competition , or to set to work in go .. d e ; ime : t , as weil as their neighbours .

      The progress of the middle classes was very little visible up to the year 1810 , when the ascension to the ihruneofa new King appeared to them the proper moment to show that , since 1815 , things were rather changed in Prussia . 1 need not recapitulate how the middle c \ ma movement has progressed since that time ; how all parts of the kingdom acceded to it , until at last nil the middle classes , a great part of the peasantry , and not a tew of the nobility , joined in it . A representative constitution , liberty of the piess , open courts of law , immoveability of the judges , trial by jury—such were the demands of the middle clawes . The peasantry or small landed proprietors saw very well—in the more enlightened parts of the kingdom ,

      at leiu-t—that such measures were lor their inlvreali too , being the only ones by which they could hope to free themselves from tho remnants of feudality , and to have that influence upon the making of laws which i o whs desirable for them to possess . The poorer part of the nobility thought that the constitutional system might , iperhaps , give them such a position iii Ikv legislature as their interests demanded ; aud that , at all events , this system could not be more ruinous to them than that under which they lived . It was principally the nobility of Prussia Proper and Posen . who , being severely oppressed by want of markets for their produce , acceded to the Liberal movement from such considerations .

      The middle classes themselves got more and more ir . te an uucomiortable position . They had increased their manufacturing aud mining concerns , as well as their shipping , to a considerable extent ; they were the chief furnishers for the whole market of the Zollverein ; their wealth and numbers had increased very much . But during the last ten ov fifteen years the enormous progress of English manufactures aud mining operations have threatened them with a deadly competition . Every glut in the English market threw large quantities of English goeds into the Zuilverein , where tlu-y were sold at prices more ruinous to the Germans than to tho English , because these- latter made , during the limes of flourishing trade , large profits in the American and other maikets , while the Prussians could never soli their

      produce anywhere but within the circle of their own line of custt-ms . Their shipping were almost excluded from the ports of foreign nations , while ships til all flags entered the Prussian ports on equal conditions with the Prussians . Thus , although there is comparatively little capital iu Prussia , there commenced a difficulty of investing thiscapitalprofitably . Trade appeared to be labouring under a continual pressure ; factories , machinery , swek in trade , were slowly , but continually , depreciated ; and this general uneasiness was for a moment only interrupted by the railway speculations which _ , within the last eight years , were started in Prussia . These speculations ,

      by raising the value of ready money , increased the deureciaUonofstockintradeiaud were themselves , on nn average , nee very profitable , ou account of the comparatively thin population and trade of the greater part of the country . They offered , however , a stili better chance of profit than other industrial investments ; and thus every one who could dispose of some capital engaged in them . Very soon these speculations assumed , as usual , a feverish character , and ended in a crisis which now for about a twelvemonth has oppressed the Prussian money markets . Thus the middle classes found themselves in a very ' . i !!" ' .-tiiicr ! able position i ; t tV hrtfinriin ? : of the pr « - SLM : ' . vc . - i . ' - . the n . 'Met m .-. rsds and ;!

U * moment was eviiienily come ior the luxtiie t-liusja w take the government out of the hands of an imbecile king , weak nobility , and self-conceited bureau crai-iy , and to secure it to themselves .

      It is a curious fact , but which is rapeated at every revolutionary epoch , that at th » very moment when the leading class of a movement ia most favourably placed for the accomplishment o [ that movement . the old worn-out government is reduced to beg the assistance of this same leading class . Thus iu 1789 , in Fr . uice , when famine , bad trade , and divisions among the nobility pushed , so to say , tho middle classes to a revolution—fct that very moment the government found its money resources exhausted , and was reduced to W / in the revolution by the conv cation of tho SUrc-s-treneral . Thus in ISil in Prussia . At tha very moment when the more

      indolent Prussian middle classes are almost forced by circumstances to change the governmental systoia , at that moment the king , by want of money , ia forced to commence that change of system , and toconvocate in his turn the Prussian States-General . It is indubitable that the States would offer him muuk less resistance than they will now , if the money market wus easy , tho factories at full work ( which would be caused by a flourishing trade and ready sale , and consequent high prices for manufactured goods in England ) and corti at a reasonably low price . But so it is : ; in times of approaching revolution , the progressive classes of mietj have alvwys all chapce $ on their side ,

      The Prussian Constitution. (Froth Our Ge...

      I have , during the course of 1845 and 1846 , more than once shown to the readers of the Star , that the King of Prussia was in a tery embarrassed financial situation ; I have at the same time called their attention to the several clever p lans by which his ministers sought to extricate him ; and predicted that the whole affair must end ; by a convocation of tho States-General , The cveflt ,. tbo « , was neither unoxpeoted , nor , as it now is represented , caused by the free grace of his squandering majesty ; nothing

      • ut sneer necessity , poverty and distress could move nim to such a step , and ther * is not a child in ? ku . " * wm , h . £ 8 thi 8 " The-only question , then , is « _ , _ i « •» _ I'J 18 ?' " middl 8 « lasa " . by investing ™ _ \ h !! W ^ ffwa ^ allow the king to S « m «™ . done h . therto and to disregard ior S hJl „ V T 3 their P ««»«» and their wants ? cannot do this . We have proved it from the ai . uation oi the -espective cla « eB and we shall now prove lklromthoiwmpositionof the States-General themselves .

      Members ?> f high and low nobility ... su Do . for towns and peasantry ... " 305 As the king has declared his intention to increase the members oi the high nobility ( SOin all ) b y new creations of peers , * e may add to the nobility , about 30 more ; 341 members of nobility , or government party . Deduct from this number the liberal fractions of the lower nobility , namely , all the nobility of Prussia Proper , two-thirds of that of P « gen , and some members of tho Khenish , Silesian , Brandenburg and Wcstphalian nobility , say 70 liberal mambers , voting with the towns and peasantry , and the position of parties is as f ' ol'ow : — Nobility , or government party 271 Towns and peasantry , or liberal oppoeitioa 370

      Thus , even allowing that thirty or forty towns or peasantry members from the remote districts should vote for the government , there will always be a liberal majority of from twenty-fivq to fifty votes remaining , and with a little energy on the part of the Liberals , it will be easy to meat eviry demand for money with another demand for liber *! institutions . There is besides , no doubt , that , under presant circumstances , tho people will support the middle classes , and b y their pressure from without , which indeed is very much wanted , strengthen the courage and enliven the energies of those within .

      Thus , the Prussian constitution , insign'ficant ia itself , is , for all that , the be ^ innini ; of a nc-v epoch for that country , and for ail Germany . It marks the downfall ot absolutism and nobility , and tha ascendancy of the middle classes ; it marks the beginning of a movement which will very soon lead to a representative constitution for the middle classes , a free press , independent judges and trial by jury , and whiok will end God knows where , it marks t ! -n repetition of 1780 in Prussia . And if the revoli tionary movement which now begins , will directly iiterest the middle classes only , it is yet hot at all indifferent to the interests of the people . From tlie moment tbe power of the middle classes is

      constituted , from that moment begins the separate and distinct democratic movement . Jn the struggle agaiust despotism and aristocracy , the people , the democratic party , cannot but play a secondary part ; the first place belongs to the middle classes . ' From the moment , however , the middle classes establish their own government , identify themselves with a nen despotism and aristocracy against the people , from that moment democracy takes its stand as the only , the exclusive movement party ; from that moment the struggle is simplified , reduced to two parties , and changes , by that circumstance , into a " war to the knife . " The history of the French and English democratic parties fully proves this .

      There is another circumstance to be remarked . The conquest of public power by the middle classes of Prussia will change the political position of all European countries . The alliance of the North will bo dissolved . Austria and Russia , tho chief spoliators of Poland , will be entirely isolatedjfrom the rest of Europe , for Prussia carries along with her the smaller states of Germany , who all huve constitutional governments . Thus the balance of power in Euiops will be entirely changed by the consequences f this insignificant constitution ; the desertion oi thiee-founhs of Germany from the camp of stationary Eastern Europe into that of progressive Western Europe . In February , ISiO , broke out the last Poiish insurrection . In February , 1 S 47 , Frederick William convocates his States-General . The vengeance of Poland w draiving nigh > E ,

      Thb Ki.To Op Bavaria's Favourite Ladv.— ...

      Thb Ki . to op Bavaria ' s favourite Ladv . — Munich , February 20 . —Mademoiselle . Lola Moutes , who has left bo mauy souvenirs at Berlin , Dresden , and Paris , and who enjojia here an exalted protection which creates some scaui i . il , has just given ri ; e to a disturbance which has required the interference of the police . Yesterday , at about noon , the handsome Spaniard was walking in the St . Louis-street , followed by an enormous bull-dog ; the animal barked at the horses of a brewer ' s cart , which was standing before a public-house . The horses were frightened , and made some movements which excited the dog ' a rage ; he rushed at one of the homes , aud severel y bit him . This amused Mdlle . Lola , but did not suit the carman , who desired her to take her dog away rather angrily , observing that nobody ought to be permitted to walk in the Buiarian capital with so ferocious a companion . Aldlle . Lola , either not understanding the carman ' s words , or rather uudtr-. ¦ standitig them too welt ( for she is said to speak

      German easily enough ) , struck the carman with ner umbrella in such style as to cut his face , and make the blood flow copiously from it . A large number of bystanders sided with the carman , abused Mdllc . Lo ' a , and gradually grew so exasperated , that deeming her position a perilous one , she threw herself into a chemist ' s shop , and shut the door su very violently that a number of panes of glass were shattered . The crowd gathered in front of the druggist ' s , and loudly demanded that she should be delivered up ; as the summons was not obeyed , the remaining panes were promptly demolished . Mdlle . Lola was enabled to return home at night ; but this morning , as early as dawn , another large crowd gathei ed under her windows , and began demolishing them as promptly as tlie apothecary ' s had Leen . The police succeeded iu dispersing the mob , but as other gatherings were continualiy taking place , it has been deemed necessary testation a party of gendarmes near her residence , and a sentinel at her iioor . It is expected that Mdlle , Lola Monies will shortlv have to answer before the

      Tribunal of Correction for the use she has thus made of her umbrella . A letter from Munich , of the 22 d , says— * The exasperation ef the populace of our city against Mdlle . Lola-Monies has become so great , that the authorities , in order to pro vent disturbances , have required tho youug lady to quit tho town . This she did k < st night , going to the village of Staremberg , situated at about live leagues from Munich . LLr carriage was escorted by a strong detachment of dragoous from the garrison . " At ihb Loxuos Fkvkb . IIospitai , on Monday , afternoon , between the hours of two and three , much alarm was created iu the vicinity of Battle-bridge , in consequence of the outbreak of a hie in the Fever Hospital , liing ' s-cross . The flames iirst showed themselves by shooting through thereof of the nurse ward , at the northern end of the building . From , tha

      strong hold the lire hiul then obtained , it becanie quite clear that the iomatcs would be unable to ttUhdue it , and the first thing sought to ho ^ accomplished was the removal of th * patieni * , fraca . the burning building . Owing to the precautions taken , not one ol the patients was hurt iu belqg removed , and it is to be hoped that they will not . ultimately receive any injury . As saon as information waa received at the lire-stations , Mr . Braidwood starred to the scene with six . u . - > even brigade engines , ioliowod speedily by otheis . The firemen carried the hose to tuo Sop of tho building , and were enabled topswent tha conflagration from travelling farther ; . but they w » ro unable to get the flames entirely extinguished until the root oi the nurses' ward ( betweea twenty and thirty fee * square ) was burned off , the ceilings below damated by water , and the beds , and other ! . i " ij ,. ii ! i'tte ' .---i .
