3peize Essay.—The Causes Of Crime ; Its ...
3 PEIZE ESSAY . —The causes of Crime ; its Pretention and Punishment . By Thomas ] Emer y , Framework Knitter . Leicester : J . Ayer , High-street "We learn , from a prefatory notice prefixed to ibis essay , that in January last , Air . Sioxe , Town Clerk of Leicester , offered a prize of Two Guineas for the best essay b y a working man or woman , residing in the town , on "The causes of Crime ; its Prevention and Punishment . " Though the prize would not have "been considered at all tempting , if offered to "the race that write" it—with other inducements—occasioned the production of no fewer than sixteen Essays . When we speak of
inducements other than the preferred " p rize "we allude to the deep interest felt by the thinking portion of the working classes as regards such subjects as the one treated of in this essay ; and also to the very natural desire of that class of men to distinguish themselves by the productions of their pens—a highly laudable ambition which all wellwishers to humanity will do their best to encourage . As the sixteen Essays , generally , were highly creditable to their authors , three other prizes of One Guinea each , were added by Messrs . Whexstokb , Stokes , and Paget , which prizes were awarded to William Dove , Thomas Winters , and Jaeez Fryer . The Essay under notice obtained for its author the original p rize of Two Guineas .
We mean no disparagement to Mr . Stone when we say that Air . Emer ' s "Essay " mig htjustly have claimed a much larger prize for its author . Thanking Mr . Stone , and regretting that there are too few Town-Clerks of his stamp ; we beg to add our thanks to Mr . Emery for a work which does Tiim credit , and which reflects honour on the class of which he is a memher . Passing ever Mr . Emery ' s opening observations—which we may observe , in pasing , are philosophically conceived , and elegantl y expressed—we come to his definition of
THE PRESENT AGE . " The age we live in" has received various appellation ? , and it may be said ihat the present age is highly characteristic of a desire to investigate the causes of things . Parties are no longer contented -with passing judgment upon a ineve immediate manifestation . The "it-is-beeausc-it-is" reasoning is not now acceptable . The " why" and the " wherefore" must receive further satisfaction . The chain of occurrences is being traced , whether consciously or otherwise ; and the start once made , we should not repine if the movement from link to link is not as rapid and regular as we could wish .
Human conduct is not now to he looked at in mere isolated detached phases . "Vice is not to be considered without reference to parentage and offspring . Crime is not to friffht us by its hideousness from lookintritin the face , and asking " whence comes it ? " The time is past for perpetuating the dogma that man is vicious because he is vicious—that he is criminal for the sake of being criminal . All who think upon the matter , shrink from the adoption of this barbarism in practice if not in theory . In all the affairs of civil society some approach is made to a recognition of the contractive influences of -virtuous Tiabits and vicious association hi the dc-Yelopenient of human character .
In the following observations the authoi argues that
IGXOKAXCE IS THE PARES ! OF CRIME . . Although in the preceding remaslcs I have given credit for a prevalent disposition to demand the reason of fbinrs- —to lrok below the surface—to trace consequences to causes—^ we have yet to attain a popular conception and appreciation of the causes which generate criminal conduct . Fomc parties a-rcrile the commission of crime to the recklessness and improvidence « f criminals . What is crime under such circumstances but the manifestation of anxiety io provide for want * , either real or fictitious , in an ignorant and unprincipled manner ? Others in going a step further assert that recklessness , improvidence , and crime are only manifestations of that depreciated self-re .-pect aud indifference to
publie good , engendered by bad national government and the deprivation of political ar . d social rights . And what is bid government , but palpable , self-imputative evidence against the assumed " collective wisdom" of a country ? And what is political and social serfdom , but proof positive of Jthc absence of that mental stamina which , if possessed , would assert its own dignitv , and morally enforce its own claims . Another class of Reformers assume that indifference topnblk good , less of self-respect , recklessness , improvidence , and criminality , are mainly attributable to the driukin ? customs of society ; whereas , dnm kenness is a secondary evil , arising from a mistaken method of obtaining p leasurable excitement . Look at tbe subject of crime from whatever poHit we may , we shall find it resolvable into some mental
aberration , moral deficiency , or individual incompetencyin fact we shall be led to the conclusion that" ignorance is tbe /« aroit of crime . " "In asserting that ignorance is tbe primary cause of crime , I mean not merely an ignorance of the rudiments of education , but an incapacity to appreciate ths tree interests of humanity— an ucacgoaintance with the philosop hy of every-day life . After dealing at some length Avith the statistics of crime , with tlie view of showing the general . ignorance of the multitude who figure at the police and assize cpurts , throng the p risons , and tenant the penal colonies , the

author proceeds to argue with , much force in favour of a system of
HATJ . 0 NAI , SECULAR EDUCATION . The system of education I propose would be greatly enhanced if it was formed upon au industrial basis Let there be land with these educational establishments , and conveniencies for the prosecution of useful handicraft callings ; and let tbe children of mor * advanced years be required to labour a few hours daily , in proportion to their capacities , on the land thus provided , and at some useful occupation . Here we should have a practical as well as a theoretical education . By skilful management , children would thenbe initiated into mdustrious habits , without that disgust engendered b y the indiscriminate and immoderate labour which at present calls our youthful populationi into the labour market . The business of life might then be taught under systematic arrangemeuts . Science and art would then be made
easy and entertaining . Pian ana 8 ystem mM ever present in the pupils' proceedings . Habits of independence and forethought would be acquired . Moral lessonsjwould not oaly be preceptively taught , but practicall y lUustrated . Principles of justice would be made familiar to the minds of the children by the proper performance of their little business transactions . And these educational and moral advantages would be secured through an establishment which might be made , in a great degree , if not entirely , self supporting . I know a host of difficulties will be suggested , bat if the amount of resources , the extent of system , and the precision of execution , which characterise other national institutions , be employed in the direction I have indicated , good will be effected , crime will be diminished , and progress accelerated to an indefinite extent .
We have not room to quote from the author ' s sensible comments on the Punishment of Crime . We extract the following from bis concludine remaris :-
—PBOGRESS BY EDUCATION . The reformation of the criminal by physical force is a hopeless project ; . Prisons and punishments will cease to be as such when they effect much improvement in the crimina l . To have better men , we must have better means , and to include these better means in prison tactics , would be to attract ill-requited , innocent industry , rather than to repel the vicious , reckless , and criminal . * * All available means should be employed to discipline the rising generation in intelligence and virtue . I know it may be objected that the effects of such efforts are remote from realisation . Is not this a
characteristic of all important and permanent improvements ? Is there a shorter cut to the ' good time " of virtue and happiness than by the steady march of mind ? I say again—diffuse knowledgepromote education—extirpate that monster-evil , ignorance ; and crime , with a train of intermediate , causative evils—recklessness , drunkenness , improvidence , poverty , political and social injustice—will be immensely diminished , progress will be accelerated , « nd an advanced state of civilisation attained ; in which the rare victim of criminality will receive other treatment than vindictive violence , and sanguinary execution .
We have hut one fault to charge against this Essay ; but it is one of importance . We thinkthatMr . EMERYhas too exclusivel y looked to Ignorance as the parent of Crime . Crime , like the criminal himself , is not the offspring of one parent only . Poverty unites with Ignorance in giving birth to Crime . The action of poverty in producing crime , has received too little attention from Mr . Emery . With the exception of this deficiency the Essay deserves our warmest praise . Another pamphlet by the same author shall have our earl y attention .
The Four P'S, About Which Everybody Is C...
The four P ' s , about which Everybody is concerned , viz ., Princes , Peers , Priests , and People . By George Hows . London : W . Strange , Paternoster-row . In a part of England where there is great need of "Light—more Light , "—Lincolnshire , Mr . Hows has lately arisen to enlighten those who have long sat in the "valley of the shadow of death . " Taking the New Testament for his text-hook , Mr . Hows is thundering away , both with speech and pen , against the evil doers who sit in hig h p laces . Without entering into an analysis of _ this pamphlet , the following extracts will suffice to give the reader a taste of Mr . How s quality as a Reformer , and a writer : — THE PREYING ANIMAL .
It appears that all animals have an innate weakness , and become the prey of other animals . Priests prey and feed on men and women . You , reader , with the rest of your kind , have an imaginary ring passed through your nose , and are led about by bishops and priests . Don't be angry , dear friend , it ' s a great fact . If you doubt it , if you prove restive , it don ' t alter the case—look at your tithe system , your church rates , your proctors , ecclesiastical courts , & c , & c , and deny the statement if you can . In addition to thii , think of all the " religious'' machinery of dazzling crowns , thrones , & c , and the theory of infernafen theological , adopted alike by Papist , Protestant , and Dissenter , and acknowledge till you know and act better the truth of the ring metaphor . 11 EHED 1 TAHY BULB .
Whoever heard of hereditary doctors , lawyer , or coblers ! Then why have hereditary ruleis ? If it would be absurd to have hereditary doctors , lawyerrs , and coblers , it is more absurd to have hereditary rulers .
IG . VOBAXCE A > T > FOLLY . Nature makes men and women ; men and women in their ignorance make and permit sham princes . PRINCES AXD PEASANTS . Strip ihe prince of his artificial trappings , his crown , his robe , his coronet , his sceptr e ; and who will know which is the prince and which the peasant ? A peasant is frequently a prince in mind ; a prince is sometimes a mere scavenger of nature .
SHUTTLE AND CCT . "What I think of the present system of things , is this : — 'Tis a game at cards : princes , aristocracy , priesthood , and rulers shuffle , cut , and deal the pack , and by some dishonest trick , keep all the court cards and trumps to themselves . MOKE ON . We live in an age of electric telegraphs , steam presses , and railways . The people are going forward ; if princes , peers , and priests , stand still , they will he snuffed out—extinguished . If they don't move on , they'll be moved off . Bravo friend Hows . Smite the Philistines
"hip and thig h , " and hasten the good time when the diabolical reign of Princes , Peers , and Priests , shall g ive way to tlie rule of the People .

oun MISSION ' . We are censured for strong language ; but we will cry out , we will he heard . We do not write for hire , but because we cannot help writing , not for ourselves alone , ovrs arc but isolated wrongs amid crying millions , but in the name of the myriads who suiter dumbly . We sec hig h aspirations crushed in the infancy of their being , noble faculties destroyed , and ' bleeding hearts torn asunder by au unjust state of society . It is onr mission to war against such a society , and could we wreak our feelings upon expression , there should he such an uprising in England to-morrow , as answered the thunderous battle-summons of Mazzini in Italy , and Kossuth in Hungary . But we are told that we
shall frig hten middle class reformers , who would otherwise aid us ; well , we must still utter truth , and in strong language too , and if they are frightened at truth , that is notour fault ; moreover , we have little or no faith in middle class reformers ; we live among the middle classes , we know them , we have weighed them , and have no faith ic them ; moneygrubbers with their brains behind , they do not know the sublime meaning of those word-pictures of the Christ-preached millenium Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity . As a body , they have no chivalry , no generosity ^ and there is no sacrifice hi them ; love has no altar in their hearts , and their respectability is a gilded hypocrisy . How were they awoke to an enthusiasm for devoted and all-glorious Hungary ? was it not by a voice crying from the breeches
pocket ; did not their orators tell them that Hungary free , would be a splendid mart for British wares ? that was the potent talisman , self-interest and they cheered like a shoal of Californian sharkers * just in sig ht of their El Dorado ; yes , they cheered ; but what else have they done ? » * * * * We will not oppose these Financials , although Household Suffrage would not enfranchise us nor the voting mind of our order ; we will help them cren as far as they will go , but we cannot place the destiny of labour in the bands of those who do not comprehend the labour question , and the misery expressed in those words— "Emp lover and Employed .

In the succeeding article the peace-mongers come in for an awful thrashing- — " Something for Democrats to do" is the title of a fiery appeal on the subject of the death of Williams ( apparently written before the writer knew of the death of Sharp ); and the murderous proscription under which so many thousands of the patriots of continental Europe have fallen victims . The writer says : —•
THERE IS MUCH FOB US TO DO . Is there not much for us to do ? answer ye g lorious proscribed of Rome and France ; ye exiles of Germany and Hungary ; now in England ; A few months ago , and we beheld the glorious exhibition of men struggling for liberty ! we beheld liberty triumphantly march onwards ! Red Republicanism , in France and Germany , ay , and in England , winning its widening way , putting forth glorious buds of promise , leaves of beauty , and flowers of loveliness ; but , with the summer that should have ripened them into fruit , came the blasting breath of withering tyranny , and lo ! liberty has fled from Rome ; tyranny is triumphant in prostrate Hungary ; the red blood of Milan has flowed in vain ;
the Baden republic is crushed ; her brave defenders massacred by scores , and her living sons are slaves ; Berlin and Vienna have shared no better fate ; Venice too has fallen , the glorious Venice-city of the sea ! after her brave resistance to the tyrants ' tool , Radetzki ; and , after all , these noble and gallant struggles for freedom and republican institutions , they have fallen—dropfe like stars from Liberty ' s heaven , into the dark ocean of deathly despotism . Is there not something for us to do ? are there no alliances for ns to form ? yes , let us enter an alliance which death alone shall dissolve , for the purpose of destroying oppression , uprooting bigotry , and spreading abroad the grand principles of liberty

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . Br THOMAS MAXTI . Y WHEELER , Late Secretary to tha National Charter Associatio and National Land Company .
Chapter XXVIII . Love , oh Love ! Thou art the essence of the Universe-Soul of the visible world—and canst create Hope—joy—pain—passion—madness or despair , As suiteth tby high will . To some thou bring ' st A balm—a lenitive for every wound The unkind world inflicts on them ; to others Thybreath but breathes destruction , and thy smile Scathes like the lightning : now a star of peace , Heralding sweet evening to our stormy day , And now a meteor with far-scattering fire , Shedding red ruin on our flowers of life . In all—Whether arrayed in hues of deep repose , Or armed with burning venjjeance to consume Our yielding hearts—alike omnipotent . Marie A . Watts .
Oh . ' beautiful it is to look Upon a guileless maiden ' s eyes , When mirror'd clear , as in a brook , Each feeling of her young heart lies ; When joy is radiant in her smiles , Or sparkles the ingenuous tear , Ere yet corrupted by the wiles Of this dark world , her bosom clear From aught of falsehood , or deceit , Its every inmost thought displays , With calm serenity does meet , — In conscious innocence—the gaze : 'Tis said from such a maiden ' s eye E ' en beasts of prey will daunted fly . —Nemo
It was at one of the London meetings that Arthur Morton first became acquainted with Mary Graham , the daughter ofashoemaker who had for some years been active in the democratic movement . Attending all the Chartist meetings , she had often attracted his attention , and , by a kind of fascination , his eye always sought her , and wandered uneasily round the assembly if she was not visible . Yet he had never spoken to her , nor even made an effort to court her acquaintance , which ho could easily have effected , for never was maiden more free from affectation , or of a more open and friendly disposition , than Mary Graham . Inheriting from her parents an ardent and enthusiastic disposition , to be a Chartist was sufficient to claim a share of her friendship , and
it was displayed with a warmth and impetuosity that , had it not been general to all , and the evident offspring of a heart free from guile , might have rendered her liable to the charge of coquetry—a charge entirely misplaced and false . Often had she wondered at the silence preserved to wards her by Arthur even when circumstances had so situated them that silence might bo construed into actual rudeness ; it evidently was not shyness , for Arthur had entirely overcome this tormentor of his early years ; and it could not be rudeness , for . though no words fell from his lips , yet his features expressed a kindl y feeling . Arthur . Morton having enshrined the image of Julia in his heart , vainly supposed that he was proof against any future attacks ot Love : but
fearful of putting it to the test , he shunned the company of the young of the other sex , with a dogree of morbid sensitiveness , entirely at variance with his usual manner . Circumstances at length forced on him an acquaintance with Mary Graham . A grand lottery was got up ior tlie benefit of the Victims : in conjunction with other females Mary was appointed to superintend tlie distribution of the fancy portion of the articles ; Arthur was also upon the committee ; -common politeness , independent of business considerations , forced them into conversation , and the ice once broken there was no after reserve—their feelings , their ideas were similar , both were connected with the same movement , and both impelled to action by the same hopes
and aspirations . Can we then wonder that their acquaintance speedily ripened into intimacy ? Arthur was still young , and though Mary , who was scarcel y eighteen , was much his junior , yet the discrepancy was rather in favour of the creation of Love than otherwise—in her glowing spirits Arthur could retrace the freshness of his own youthful feelings , and she could look up with admiration to his superior wisdom and experience ; and the charm of his conversation , the amiability of his manners—so different to the coarse behaviour of tlie generality of his sex she had hitherto met with—was not lost upon her , for she speedily loved him with all the warmth and enthusiasm which her young heart was capable of . It was Mary ' s first initiation into the great mystery which sways all our destinies ; the void
which had hitherto existed in her heart was now filled to overflowing—the warmth of feeling which had in vain endeavoured to expend itself in tho exuberance of friendship—which she lavished on all ^ hc came in contact with—had now found a novel yet legitimate outlet . Of a light , buoyant disposition , the gravity and passivencss of Arthur ' s demeanour threw a mystery around him , that never fails to interest a woman ' s heart : it is not the gay or lighthearted , the jovial companion or the witty guest , that finds most favour in the eyes of the gentle sex ; a sigh and a tear , even if breathed and shed for the love of another , is a greater passport to their hearts than aught that mirth or cheerfulness can essay This may in some instances he incorrect , but with Mary Graham it was a veritable fact .
Slowly did Arthur yield his heart to the seductions ofMary ' s attractions ; but d ,-iy by day tlie defences with which he surrounded himself were sapped and undermined , until in an hour when past feelings and associations were painfully vivid on his imagination , he related to her the ill-starred fate of his first lore ; the sympathy it drew forth from the ever pitying heart of Mary , and the tears—yes , tears—of Jove and sisterly pity that mingled with his , entirely completed the conquest , and henceforth their two hearts became one . Oh ! how rarely is it that female errors or weakness meet with pity or forgiveness from their own sex . How have wc grieved to hear those whom we thought all gentleness and love , dwell with bitterness and acrimony upon the faults of a sister , whilst they overlook , or treat with indifference , far more heinous faults in the male sex . How unlovely , how unfeminine is this , and to what base suspicions may it not give
rise ; ' tis a fault in the education , —an error in the morality of our females , —productive of equal injurious results with those it affects to condemn . Mary Graham , —almost destitute of education , owing hut little to the experience of others , hut acting according to the dictates of her heart , ( always just and true in . the young and the innocent , )—Was as for above the women of the world in true morality as she - . vas inferior to them in art and finesse , and yet they , envious of her good qualities , would fain slander her fair fame ; for young as she was , —pure as Arthur believed her to be , — - the liveliness of her manners , her enthusiastic attendance at Chartist meetings , and her open and fearless disposition , had given a handle to tlie straig ht-laced , the sly , and tho demure ; and oh ! to their shame , be it said , seldom do men attempt to check this disposition , but rather ( especially if their vanity is flattered thereby , ) do they encourage and attempt to give a seemingness to the untruth , —
Sunshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The Ninet...
often , oh ! how often , to the injury of those whom , in their hearts , they esteem , but who fall a sacrifice to this cowardl y system of detraction . -their fair fame destroyed , they Jose their own self-esteem , are careless of the consequences , and ultimately become the character they were represented to be ; Arthur Morton was aware of all this , and it was thus he ni [ - loader , reflect on this also . Hitherto we have dwelt on the character , and have neglected the portrait of our heroine . She was about the middle height , with a form as symmetrical as an artist could desire ; a profusion of glossy raven tresses fell around a face , rather round than oval , whilst a delicate tint as of morning ' s j I lUumine ( l her cheek ; her eyes were largo and brilliant , and of the richest brown ; her lips
wereas the ripe cherry , and seemed never to part but with a smile . ; if not supereminently lovely she was sufficiently so to attract general attention , and to constitute her the pride and delight of her parents Being the-eldest of a large family , whoso means of livelihood were but scanty , she was early initiated into the secrets of domestic economy , and devoted her whole time to the comforts and attentions of homo , her sole enjoyment and recreation being her attendance on public meetings , whither she was generally accompanied by her parents . Though brought up in poverty , and compelled to undergo the many privations , and to make the manv shifts which ever fall to tho lot of the poor , yet sho had contracted no mean or debasing habitV thought
or ieeiing , and had thus escaped one of the evils which poverty too often inflicts on the poor-rendering them careless of the amenities and courtesies of the more fortunate ranks of society , and too often engendering in them a want of self-respect , which is the parent of a host of evils , and a sure accompaniment of a slavish disposition . How true it is that evil engenders evil ; and though poverty ia HO Sin , yet It IS the parent , the incentive to a thousand enmes that a competency would have saved the perpetrators from committing . How much have our legislators to answer for in this respect ? They make laws which by keeping the bulk of the commimity in poverty induces crime j and then with relentless hand they punish ihe child of their own
creation ; for , alas , the poor criminal finds no pity ; but respectability is a great softener of the law ' s austerity , Snd societ y goes hand in hand with the law m shunning the poor , and in endeavouring to "litigate the rich offender ' s punishment . Mary Graham was fortun ate in possessing a mother who united in herself all the qualities necessary to form the character of a young maiden in the class to which sliebelonged ; frugal and a good housewife , yet possessing sufficient energy and romance in her disposition , to prevent her ever becoming a domestic drudge—possessed of a strong mind , and owing some slight advantages to education , she seemed by instinct to comprehend any subject which attracted her attention . Amongst these was politics ; and in correctness of reasoning and a happy appreciation of , and expression of ideas , few men could compare with her ; but it was onl y in private company , or in the domestic circle , that this faculfy was observable ; for though a great frequenter of public assemblies , her character was of a retiring nature—more
htted to adorn home than shine in public . Arthur Morton , when increasing intimacy had admitted him as a visitor at their humble home , watched with admiration the developement of these qualities , and ever entertaining the highest respect for the judgment of the matron , it formed a strong link in his attachment to the daughter , thatshe was brought up under the eye , and had imbibed the principles of this excellent woman . Week after week passed away , and Arthur , who had obtained employment at his own trade , became more and more a visitor at Mr . Graham ' s ; he was Marv ' s constant escort to all the meetings of the Chartist body ; and the image of his bst Julia , though still dtar to his remembrance , was sometimes forgotten in the rapture of present enjoyment or , if remembered , it was with a calm and quiet feeling as near akin to joy as grief—like the taint reams of past sickness recalled to memory in the hour of buoyancy and health .

The Peace Congress, And Democratic Progr...
THE PEACE CONGRESS , AND DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS . ( From the October number of the Democratic Review . ) In this article we think it necessary to offer a few remarks on the late Peace Congress at Paris . Having read the short sketches of its proceedings , which appeared in the English papers , we aro led to the conclusion that the members , of this , self styled Peace Congress , have evaded the principal and most essential ingredients for the establishment of their professed object . They seem to have entirely overlooked the operating causes which have , of late , led to so much bloodshed , and which will continue to produce similar results until those causes are removed . Their time seems to have been occupied in mutual laudationand
, listening to compliments from the Parisian betrayers of European freedom , who well knew that it was all a solemn farcp ; In the published debates attributed to them , they appear to have looked at the question only in relation to the rupture between kings or cabinets , leaving untouched the question of the social and political thraldom of the people . It may do very well for M . Jules Avigdon , the banker of Nice , or Mr . Samuel Gwvey of Lombard Street , and such like milHonaries , to amuse themselves with philanthropic speeches and letters , but such will not bring lls a whit uigher the much desired goal . There may have been a large amount of good feeling among the parties who composed the Congress . There may have been some well-intentioned personages then aud there assembled ,
who fancied that the ambition and avarice of belligerent powers might be soothed by a few honied words , and the wealthy traders of such states thereby be delivered from the danger and expense of war . To our thinking they need not be so very solicitous in this particular matter , as that species of war , which they fo much deprecate , is even now , fast hastening to a close , by reason of the inability of the various governments to indulge in such costly amusements ; and the national taxation , strung to its highest pitch , is barely sufficient to supply troops io keep down domestic discontent . How beautifully simple some of these worthy men ' s speeches appear I They take it for granted that if the various governments of Europe consented to disband their armies , universal peace would follow . They seem to forget that there is an unceasing intestine war raging at this moment in every civilised community , and that under the appearance of peace , the rich opprcsor and the poor
oppressed are at daggers drawn . Look at the colliers strike in Staffordshire , and the s . ockingers strikes in the counties of Leicester , Derby , and Nottingham . Look at the rapidity with which barracks have been raised of late years in the vicinity of the manufacturing towns which are in a continual slate of siege , closely guarded by large bodies of police and soldiery . See the concentration of a huge war establ'shment in the heart of England , seated like a spider in the centre of its web , on the diverging lines of iron road . Ask Sir George Grey to disband a portion of the army , and he will tell you that so ' -diers are necessary to preserve " order . " in the manufacturing districts , or , in other words , to keep an ill paid and discontented populace in subjection and slavery . This is the real vocation of standing armies , and , so long , as the masses continue in social and political bondage , they will form au indispensable appendage to every European Government .
In the face of these undeniable fac ' s , how futile the proceedings of this congress appear . How many of the veritable sons of labour graced that assemblage by ( heir presence ? Look over the list . You will find manufacturers , lawyers , parsons , bankers , adventurers and speculators of all grades and names who , like the voluptuous aristocracy of Vienna desire peace that they may enjoy themselves in safety—Where , we again ask , were the representatives of labour ? Labour is peace . Justice to labour must necessarily be the foundation of a true and lasting peace . Were none of the sims of labour even invited ? No ! Then the ingredients of veritab ' c peace were not present , and tlie congress therefore was a mere nonentity .
The ' ; Congress" persuade themselves that "peace " simply implies the absence oi foreign war , and that it merely requires an understanding amongst the wealthy to establish the elysium they so much desire . But they will bo assuredly undeceived , as , the war of democracy against unjust institutions will never cease but with their total annihilation . The landed , and monied aristocracy may " lav the flattering unction fo their souls" that the manoeuvres of diplomacy will afford them peace , in their time , but they will find that the Temple of Peace , to be permanent , must be founded on the eternal and inalienable Rights of Man . Let us thsn , as the friends of veritable peace , proceed a stage further in our labour of love .
Ihe excitement and enthusiasm of the English population in the lar » e towns , in 1848 , when compared with the apathy and indifference which they display in 1849 , ought to be an instructive lesson to all sincere democrats . Last year , thousands of men avowed their willingness to take un arms , and over throw by force the evil institutions of which they complained . They saw that the French people had done so , and saw no reason why they might not do the same , but the French people did ' not content themselves with bare hooting and shouting . Therein lies the difference . However , a number of earnest men were led astray by this apparent determination , and are now paying the penalty of their credulity , whilst the
mob brawlers are no more seen , and the wives and families of their victims are 'doomed to suffer the horrors of starvation , or submit to the tavsnts of the poor-law " dogs in office . " A fair specimen may be seen in the fact that a London mnb cheered Williams and Sharp intoTothill Field ' s Prison , and there left them to perish of cold and hunger . So much for the philosophy of mobs . We must not close our eyes to these undeniable facts and grave lessons . They prove to us that mob excitement is the mere ehulition of momentary feeling very little superior to animal instinct , a ' nd that , for impressions to be lasting , they must be the result of conviction and intelligence . The present state of trade iu some dis-
The Peace Congress, And Democratic Progr...
tricts , has produced that state of torpidity which affects an over fed animal , but in this case overworking has also something to do with the matter , let , when the day of suffering again arrives , through an inevitabl y glutted market , we shall ag'in behold i housands of perishing operatives emerging again into daylight , vowing devo ' ion to democratic principles , and demanding leaders to head them against their oppressors . We have passed through this ordeal repeatedly , and each time with similar results . Agitation , excitement , and turmoil , have led to the imprisonment and banishment of our best and ablest friends , whilst the brawlers have uniformly deserted them in their prisons , and left them and their families to perish . We must have done with
this . These mobs arc not composed of democrats . Mark that well , and store it up in your memory . They prove what they are by their subsequent conduct , and the most favourable light in which they can be viewed , is that they do not understand our principles . Ignorance of the real enemy of their welfare is the besetting sin of the working class . They know not the continuous efforts which are necessary in order to remove the evil institutions of society . This is the great obstacle in our way , and to remove it must all our energies be directed ., As a first step in this direction we propose the establishment of Democratic Tract Societies , to disseminate our views .
A few earnest men might at once make a commencement , and any isolated democrat might thus become a useful worker in the cau-c . This may be done without interfering with any existing organisation , and without much trouble . To make a beginning is the main point . - Our foregoing remarks show that we do not attach so much importance to mere numbers . Let us begin by acting in small circles , and extend our powers upon certain data , and calculate our future strength upon intelligence . Not the Intelligence of the shams , but that sterling information which flows from an honest desire to serve our fellow men . Who then will be the first volunteers in " the Democratic Propaganda I " One op the men of the futuke .
Royal Polytechnic Institution. The Inter...
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . The interesting experiments connected with the science of electricity , are now being performed upon a gigantic scale by Dr . Bachhoffner , in a scries of lectures , explanatory of the highly interesting subject . This gentleman ' s lectures aro rendered exceedingly interesting , no less by his popular style of delivery , thorough knowledge of his subject , and also by the great facilities placed at his command for illustration . The immense electric plate machine , formerly mado use of in this Institution for generating : electricity ( seven feet in diameter ) , the largest ofits kind in the world , is now considered but a secondary instrument in comparison with its more powerful and successful rival—the hydro-electric machine now employed for the purpose of experiments . This apparatus may- be described as a locomotive boiler , mounted on glass legs , the steam generated being driven through certain pipes , whereby the friction of the escaping steam , with
particles of condensed water against each other , this peculiar manifestation of electric power is produced . The experiments are upon a beautiful , and never' before attempted , scale of magnitude , and require to be seen to be appreciated . The chemical lectures by Mr . Ashley are still cmbracing the different interesting details of various manufacturies . The process of bleaching has formed the topic of the present week ' s discourse . Tho lecturer entered at some length into the history of chlorine—the active agent now made use of , in the above process , stating that no one subject possessed more important details than the history of the discovery , and subject examination of this gas , bringin" us in contact with the important epochs of Schule , Butholret , Davey , Faraday , and many other names of eminence and scientific association . The lecturer illustrated his remarks upon the subject of bleaching , by a number of curious and conclusive experiments .
Sir J. Franklin's Expedition. We (Shippi...
SIR J . FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION . We ( Shipping Gazette ) have now to lay before our readers the following interesting details . Pilot Office , Hull , Oct 4 , 1840 . Sir , —I have no small gratification in being able to forward what I believe to bo an authentic account of Captain Franklin and his companions . The Truelove Parker , arrived here last night from Davis' Straits , bringing a plan which Captain Kerr , of the Superior , received from an Esquimaux , describing the ships under Franklin to be beset on tlie north side of Barrow ' s Straits , and Sir J . Ross ' s ships on tlie s : > uth side ; he a / so states that on the 30 th March , this year , he ( the native ) was on board Franklin ' s ships , and that a daily communication was maintained between
the respective commanders . The plan is drawn by lead pencil , and is a very creditable production . Thomas Ward , Esq , the owner of the Tiuelove , will by this mail forward the plan aud other information to the Lords of the Admiralty , to whom he has already forwarded a telegraphic communication . Sincerely hoping and believing that this information is based on a sound foundation , I am , sir , yours obediently , Dale Browx . The fcllowinL' is the communication referred to b-Mr . Brown , which was received at the Admiralty on Friday morning : —
Hull , Oct . 4 , 1819 . Sir , —I had the satisfaction of making a short communication this morning by telegraph , relative to Sir John Franklin ' s expedition . I have now to forward for the inspection of their lordships the Admiralty chart of Baffin ' s Bay , & c , which Captain Parker , <> t the Truelove , has put into my hands , together with his remarks , which will , perhaps , convey better information than any lengthened detail of mine , and a rough sketch made by an Esquimaux , given to Captain Kerr , of the Chieftain , who handed it over to Parker .
It appears that the Chieftain and other ships got to Pond ' s Bay a day or two before the Truelove ; immediately they reached that place , some of the natives went on board , and without questioning , the man drew the sketch , and by signs and in words of h s own language , understood by the masters of the whalers , stated that two of the ships had been fi ozen up for four years on the west side of Prince Regent ' s Inlet , and that the other two had been frozen up on the east side for one year—that the two ships which had been there the longest had tried to get beyond Cape Rennall , but not being able , had come into Prince Regent ' s Inlet to winter , where the ice had not broken up since—that he and his companions had been on board all the four ships in March last , and
they were then all . safe . After receiving this account from the master of the Chieftain , Mr . Parker turned his attention to the endeavour to reach Prince Regent's Inlet , or at any rate to examine L inca-iiire Sound , for the purpose of giving such info-marioii ; is might be obtainable of the state of the country , &« ., and of using his utmost efforts to carry out the instructions of their lordships . Ho accordingly left his fishing-ground off Scott's Bay , and proceeded north on the 22 nd July , on the passage to Lancashire Sound , and having met with the Advice , Captain Penny , of Dundee ( with whom he was on friendly terms . ) agreed to accompany him . At that tune both the ships were well fished , the Truelove having 115 tuns of oil on board , and the Advice 140 tuns ; but the masters judged ( and rightly too ) that although ilurisk was great with such valuable cargoes onboard ,
they would be disgraced if the attempt were not made to render all the assistance which they were capable of doing . On the 5 th August they got ns far as Crokev ' s Bay , where they were stopped by n solid body of ice stretching across the straits to Admiralty Inlet ; and no water being visible to the ' westward , they were compelled to-return , coming close in with the edge of the ice , and on the 8 th of August Mr . Parker landed a cask of preserved meats , and thirty hags of coals ( which had bci-n sent on hoard by Lady Franklin ) upon Cape _ Hay , dtposited the letters , cylinders , < fcc , according to ihe instructions of their lordships , and having erected a high pole to nth-set the attention of the ships or bouts which might pass at a future time , they made the best of their way back to the fishing-ground , which they reached on the 17 th August .
If their lordships wish for further lufovmatmn . or to submit specific questions , my humble endeavours shall be used to obtain correct answers ; and if they would prefer that Sir . Parker should attend in London , he is ready to do so , on receiving orders to that effect . I am respccfully , sir , your most obedient servant , Thomas Ward , owner of the Truelove . No trace was seen of the Investigator ' s launch , neither did there appear to be any reason to doubt the correctness of the statement made by the Esquimaux , that the tipper part of Lancaster ' s Sound was a solid mass of ice . On the 8 th August , which was a clear day , Mr . Parker landed on high ground at Cape Hay , with his telescope , to see if anything could be discovered of the North Star , but no ship of any description was visable in Lancaster ' s Sound except the Advice .

" C 0 UU 1 WE HUT SEE OUR . SKI . VES AS OTHERS 3 EJ 5 Us . "—From the diary of a Frenchman in London , wo take the following : — "You will often iiii-et in the town statues of Lord Wellington , and vou will often see the name of Waterloo inscribed at tho corners of streets . Not having the cmhm-as da choix , the English are obliged to repent themselves . Thev serve up Wellington in all kinds of sauce , lie is their hero of every day , and their hero of Sundays . They multip ly his likeness with inexhaustible profusion , representing the great man in all forms , in all postures , and in all costumes , on
foot , on horseback , a I antique , a la moda-ne ; as Cajsav , as the Great Frederick , as Napoleon , as Franconi ; sometimes clothed in uniform , in u great coat , in a cloak , in a waterproof , in a coat with a stiff collar . He must certainly be somewhere represented with an umbrella in his hand . Under all these disguises it is always the same man , with his heroic Punchlike face . " Ax I . vyiTATiox to a Ball . —Tigerissimo IT .-iynau has published a proclamation , calling upon all members of the Into Hungarian Diet to come ; uid be tried by court-martial . Ho forgot to add , by way of post-scriptum , " Muskets kept continually ' at full cock , and an unlimited supply of bull cartrld « ros on the promises . "
" Oiuiuns" Punctually Executed . — Tho old King of Hanover , has executed his order upon Haynau—tho order of the Guelph . We understand that Madame Tussaud , fired with emulation of J ' . rnest , has also sent to tho Austrian Whip , her order for the Chamber of Horrors . He has certainly v > on Ma f admission . The Lecexd of the Wkekix . —A ciii-re ^ pondent offers the following as ono version of tli « £ ! uv . pshii-e legend of the origin of the Wrekin . The devil one hot day was carryini" a shovelful of earth towards
the Severn , with tho intention of stopping it up . On his way he met a cobbler with a bundle of old shoes on his back . The dovil stopped to rest , and asked the cobbler bow far it was to the river . The latter , shrewdly guessing his motive for the inquiry , replied that it was a long way—so long , indeed , that he had worn out all those shoes in walking thither . Upon this the devil , in despair , threw down his load of earth , and scraped his dirty foot on the shovel . The shovelful forms the Wrekin—and tho dirt from the devil ' s foot the little hill adjoining . . dt / Leiueuni .
The Way of the World , —A waggish speculator , one of a numerous family in the world , recently said , "Five years ago I was not worth a p .- 'my in tho world , now sec where I am through my own exertions . " Well , where are you ? " " Why , a thousand pounds in debt . " It Won ' t Do—It won't do to plimgo into a lawsuit , relying wholly upon the justice of your cause , and not equipped beforehand with a brimming purse . It won ' t do for a man when a horse kicks him , to kick in return . It won't do to crack jokes on old maids , in the presence of unmarried ladies
who have passed the age of forty . It won t do , when a mosquito bites your face in the night , to beat your own cranium to pieces with youv fist , under an impression that you arc killing the mosquito . It won't do for a man to fancy that a woman is in lovo with him because she treats him civilly , or that . she has virtually engaged herself to him because sho has always endured his company . It won't do to be desperately enamoured of a pretty face until you have seen it at the breakfast table . It is a popular delusion to believe that the powder on a lady since has the same effect as in tho barrel of a musket—assisting her to go off .
The Siiopociucy . —Mr . Vale relates , in his New-York Independent Beacon , that "About the year 1830 , Mr . M ., a portlay , elderley , and very respectable looking gentleman , of literary and liberal taste , called at Jone ' s book-store in Fulton-street , Now York , and inquired for ' Palmer ' s Principles of Nature , ' and 'Pain ' s Age of Reason . " Tho hootseller , with great gravity , and with some indignation , replied that he was surprised that a gentleman of his appearance should think of asking a respectable bookseller for such works ; ' and with much insolence added , 'ho ( Mr . M . ) ought to be ashamed of himself ; ' at the same time lie handed
him a catalogue , with the remark— ' these , sir , aro the books I keep , ' and in a softened tone * , f voice , begged him to take a seat and look over it . There was something in this altered tone of voice which struck Mr . M . as curious ; besides , he wished an opportunity of repelling what he thought an insult , or of demanding an explanation . Mr . M ., therefore , took tho catalogue and sat down to read . Immediately afterwards two gentlemen , dressed in black , with white neckcloths , left tho store , when tho bookseller immediately turned to Mr . M . and said , ' 1 have thorn books , but those gentlemen are clcrmimcn . ''
Yankekland . —An American paper says that , so numerous is the company in some of tho inns in the White Mountains , -it night they place travellers on the floor in rowf , till they get to sleep , then sot thorn up against the wall , and lay down another lot ; and so on till all arc accommodated . The Smiths . —Whereas , the following persons have assumed the name of Smith , all respectable persons aro hereby warned against its adoption by theni - . —Louis 1 ' nilippe was Jack Smith ; a comic writer is Albert Smith ; Mrs . Manning has culled herself Mrs . Smith . Added to these cases , let it bo borne in mind that Smiths make frequent use of vices , and forge repeatedly .
The CnocoDJT . ES of the Nile . — Crocodiles stuffed , were often brought to us to buy ; but the Arabs take a great deal of trouble to get them , making an ambush in tho sands where they resort , and taking aim when within a few yards of their foe ; for as such they regard those monsters , though thoy seldom suffer from them . Above the cataracts , a Greek officer in the Pasha ' s service told me they aro very fierce , and the troops of Scnnaar lost numbers of men by them and tho hippopotamus , when bathing ; but . I heard of only one death occurring below the cataracts this year . This was of an old
woman , who was drawing water near Keneh ; a crocodile encircled her with his tail ; I rushed her into the water , and then , sewing her by t ' ac waist , held her under water as long as she continued to move . When lifeless , ho swam with the corpse across the river to the opposite bank , and tho villagers , now assembled , saw him quietly feeding on their old friend , as an otter roighMipon a salmon . The Egyptian who narrated this circumstance told us with a grin that it was his grandmother ; that he had shot tho assas .-dn three days afterwards , and sold him to an Englishman for 7 s . till . —The Crescnt and the Civ ,-- * .
The Dublin Cc . riiercial Journal tells a story of a young lady who sang ' alto' at church , and who had some defect q £ spocch , such that when there was a favourite anthem sung , commencing "Turn , 0 Lord , 0 turn away I" tVc , much performed by the choir , shc ' atwiiys chanted it " Tschurn , tschurn , 0 Lord .
