Tree Trade out Free Traded ; or , the Self-Enfranchiser . By " Wajtsbeck . " London : W . Strange , 21 , Paternoster-row . Cohbised with some eccentricities of thought and expression there are some -wholesome buths set forth in this pamphlet The author observes : — Lei our first political right be onr all-absorbing iieme : the accomplishment of which , to be the imumtable datum from which to begin the regenerafc ' OD of onr conntry , and the ultimate spread of Peace . Union , and Freedom , over the whole world .
The enemies of Freedom and Progress would fain instil intothe minds ofthe people a contrary doctrine ; bnt believe them not , for they are false and interested counsellors—slaves who live on the spoil of other men ' s rights , whose impunity rears its head orer prostrate reason—whose bulwarks of safety . is ik supposed ignorance of the great mass of the people . Believe them not , for they are deceitful enemies under the guise of pretended friends . From this right all other good must flow , or flow in vain , it is a theme which demands the alterations of the adhlest minds that the ruling power of the universe ios created . It is the alpha of man ' s political Existence .
We have no faith in " Wansbeek's " scheme of " petitioning . " Humbly begging and praying " with hated breath and in a bondman ' s fccy , '' will never vim anything but ; contempt from the withholders of the rights of the pMple .
"Thelabour Question.'' "Should The Taxes...
"TheLabour Question . ' "Should the Taxes on Knowledge be Abolished ? ' The Reasoner Part L YoL IX . London : J . Watson , 3 , Queen ' s Head-passage , Paternoster-row . The two first-named of these publications are tracts issued by the " Political and Social Tract Society , " established at the John-street Institution . The author of tract No . 1 treats of tbe Labour Question in its Ideal Experimental , and Practical Aspect . The following ffluatrates tbe " Organisation of Labour" in its rudimentary form : —
Parliament is asked to appropriate some piece of Taste land , capable of sustaining from 200 to 500 poor families ; to build suitable habitations for them —plain , substantial houses , drained and \ entUated so as to be salubrious . The buildings might be arranged on a co-operative plan , so far as the common conveniences are concerned , which are already being realised in Model Washing and Lodging Houses , and Baths . There , might be a public kitchen and a public table , for those adults who were very hua-£ ry would make no permanent objections to a dinner in company . In such a colony trades and ma-^ afaetures should be introduced in such proportion as would enable the residents to supply themselves , torend
as far as possible , without barter—in fine , er them self-supporting and self-dependent . _ Let Proper superintendents and directors be appointed bv the founders of the colony . Let it be understood that whoever came were to perform such work as might be appointed to them to do . Let the hours w labour be so ordered so as not to exceed the avenge extent of strength of the parties -who are to perform it—their remuneration being wholesome ^ ter , wholesome food , sufficient clothing , and a teefol education for their children . The . surplus Jtodncts of the colony—when any—should be disposed of , to repay the cost of its foundation and ^ pense of direction ; and afterwards it should bejtoie the property ofthe colonists , who would have ¦ wore them the prospect of ultimate emancipation , ^ oere should be bo air of charity about the
place" o personal hmniliation—but such order and en-• wsement of duty as would ensure the productive"Ks of the place . These arrangements made , let the government *« itei the destitute and able families of the unem-Myed to enter such a colony . Let there be no Salification as to opinion-all shades of politics and weology should be equally elligible , and the coming , « ajmg , or leaving , equally optimal . Many would fWcome-many would not stay ; but if they Pushed , their blood would not , as now , be atthe ?«* of the law , which binds up all property and f ares the poor to perish , or degrades them in the ^ M-house . There should be no degradation here , ^ e colony should be such a place that a man of ^ epecdent spirit could come to it The principle regulation should be , as far as possible—Assis ^* without interference , help without dominion .
to objections made to the plans of Mr . Owen J * Jjf > e ground of their indefiniteness , have not been " ^ . . founded .. - TJie English are not theorists ; their SS , essentially practical , deals directly , with J ™ and remedies . Mr . Owen has done this . with S ^ good sense than he has been credited with , g ^ nng social disturbances arisa from the collider competitive interests , and the number " of ^ aopioyed daily augmenting through the increase j ^ n op n j at } on and the displacements of machinery , -nas proposed the institution nf Hnme Colonies

facta and arguments previously published . in favour of tho repeal of the iniquitous Taxes on Knowledge . r . ThePart of . the' Becsoner contains the first four , numbers ' . of a new ::. and improved Series of- that publication ; The ^ "Keasbner . Tracts , " , publiabed ^ -wiat each number , constitute a valuable feature of the new series ; : We give ^ tbe following ; sensible observations on : J „?; :. - ^ ¦< - . ¦¦¦• ¦» 'L . - OiTH-TjEiso . —If Sir Peter Laurie meant what he said the other day on the bench respecting oaths , itis reasonable to expect that hisworship will lend his assistance to those who are desirous of " putting down . " amongst other follies bf the agej the system of Bible-kissiner now practised in our courts bf
justice .- / In , the Times of February , 19 th , in the report of . the case of Mr . Kenealy , who , stood charged with brutally ill-using his natural child , a boy . six years old , Sir P . Laurie is stated to . have declared— " If a person , cannot speak the truth without being sworn , I would- not believe him on his oath .- ' It is clear he does not feel that thelips which have been forced by legal form to touch the Sew Testament , are more likely to breathe put words of -truth , than those-which have not " smacked the ' calves * skin . " : 'He knows well enough that the oath is ' nbfc only a mockery of religion , butah insult to the majesty of truth . . It is to be hoped the time will soon icome . when this piece of mummery will be . abolished . It cannot : but
carry with it effects most hurtful to the moral nature of man , and if so , must be a very pestilence in tbe heart of society . For . what does it , by implication teach ? Just tnis : that men are under no obligation to speak . the truth , in ; ordinary every-day life—that in their general intercourse with the world it is of little consequence whether they , ntter falsehoods / or : hot — and that the truth is only required of them when placed in a witness box , after they have kissed the outside of a book , the contents of which they are perhaps wholly ignorant of ; and . because , if after this kissing they chance to be caught in a lie , the law . can punish them for something called perjury . So - that the law really saysj « I can ' t punish yon for saying what is false , -but for saying
what is false q / zer the ceremony of bang mom . ^ la a general way you may tell lies , if convenient , without any great sin , but in this , particular instance you incur a penalty if you speak not the truth . ' . To any reflective mind this must appear most demoralising , and doubtless it is so . " . ' It is placing form before spirit—an empty , trifling , irreverent bodymotion before tbe eternal , : ever-beautiful idea of Truth . We should teach manking that theuvduty to Truth and Justice is antecedent to all oaths and outward forms .. ' Until we do this we shall fail to build up in the mind a " lofty conception of moral
principle . The more we learn upon the crutch of the External the weaker will become the nerved spring of the Inner souL Here are a few lines from 'famous old . Chaucer on the , subject of swearing : —I Great swearing isa thing ' abominable ; . Andfalseswearingisyet morereprbvable . The highe God forbade swearing at all , Witness on Matthew ; but in special . Of swearing , saith tbe holy Jeremie , Thou shalt swear soth thine oatbes and not lie . And swear in doom , and eke in righteousness , ' But idle swearing is a cursedriess . " . ' . FbaskGrast

Royal Polytechsic Institution. Tee Secon...
ROYAL POLYTECHSIC INSTITUTION . Tee second lecture of Br . Bachhofiher ' s proves no less interesting than the first oh the Philosophy of Scientific Recreation . The learned Doctor , in this , explains the principles . governing-the effects commonly , known as light ,. and shadow , and colour ; although , at first , a subject seemingly devoid of popular interest , under such skilful management it bears ah all absorbent theme . The most prominent features connected with tbe philosophy of sight were beautifully entered into by the Pr ofessor , one and all tending in their . minute perfection to evidence the wisdom and skill of an all-wise . Creator . ' . ' Had one little muscle been forgot in the construction of the eye , we should have been under the necessity of using one hand to observe any object presented in the other . . The involuntary motion , or winking of
the eye , could have as little been dispensed with , servings by its peculiar motion , to close and preserve i the eye from all adventitious matters ., The movement of the upper lid of the eye is explained by the Doctor , when carried on involuntary , so extremely rapid as to preserve the image ofthe object without cessation upon the mind , but . however-quickly this winking be performed , designedly we cannot prevent the momentary loss of the image during . such process , this ( the Doctor ) made the basis of a number of experiments . The next point touched upon , was the operation of seeing hot performed , as we may imagine , by the eyes , but by the , mind ., Dr . Bachhoffner concluded his admirable lecture by a number of most brilliant experiments . Sir Henry Bishop still continues his delightful lectures on Music daily .

¦ ^^^^^™ — - METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL . On Monday evening a crowded meeting , convened byihe Metropolitan Sanitary Association , was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , Strand , in favour of this bill . Lord R . Grosvenor , M . P ., filled the chair , and on the platform , were Lord Ebrington , M . P ., Mr . Mackinnon , M ; P ., Mr . G . Thompson , M . P ., Mr , Wyld , M . P ., the Rev . Dr . Watlington , and many others who have distinguished themselves in the causeof sanitary reform . The , Chairman ,. in opening the proceedings , observed , that the subject they had assembled to discuss was one of extreme importance to every single member of the country—the decent interment of the dead , or , as the Patriarch Abraham had more appropriately described it , "the burial of the dead
out of our sight ; because when the spiritual part of us had winged its way from the last remains of mortality , however much they might have been cherished during life , nature spoke to us in a warning voice , not to be misunderstood , that if we had any . regard for . the survivors , wo roust consent to bury the dead Out of our sight . Until recently it was supposed that our system of sepulture was carried on in a decent manner ; but public feeling had beeni suddenly disturbed by : the , revelations contained in Mr . Walker ' s pamphlet , which revealed to their astonished eyes that scenes were enacted in this country which not . only ^ were not creditable to us , but which would have disgraced Hottentots and Esquimaux . The parties impugned had loudly
denied tbe fact . Inquiries were made ; a case of most crying evil was established ; and it was discovered , that of all thenations of the earth between Calcutta and California , England was the only one , with all her boasted civilisation , that had failed to make provision for the decent interment ofthe dead ; and not only that , but we had suffered interests to grow up in perpetuation , of-that horrible system which it almost defied human ingenuity to remove . We had at last a practical remedy in the shape of a bill now before Parliament . ( Hear . ) The principle on which that bill was founded would meet , he thought , with universal concurrence . ( Cheers and "No , no . " ) The principle to which he alluded was ; this—that that which was . of
universal concern should not bo left to chance arrangements or isolated exertions ; but that in the case of the interment of the dead it should be carried into effect . by those who had no particular interest toi serve , who should be entirely responsible to public opinion , and who should carry their duty into effect in such a manner , that every man , woman , and child , who choso to inquire , should be able to ascertain exactly in what manner the . remains of their friends and relatives were to be disposed of . ( Cheers and uproar , and cries of " So they can now . " )[ The reason , why that measure most strongly commended itself to his sympathies was that it was for the benefit of the working
classes . ( "Oh , " and cheers . ) He firmly believed that there was implanted in the working classes of this country the strongest sentiment for tbe dead . He . knew instances in which they had almost starved themselves to secure the decent interment of their friends ; but that honourable , honest , dignified feeling had been most grossly outraged by tho scenes they had been compelled to witness . .. They might think it a sentimental or fanciful idea of his ; but he did indulge a hope if these national cemeteries " should be established , as ' was-contemplated by tins bill , at ho very . . extreme-distance from 'the . metropolis ^ that on ' the Sunday ^ the ' working . classes of'this -great metropolis would . ' go , forth on the railways fbntbe sake of . searching out the spot and planting , a flower oh the tomb of some dearlost one . ( Cheers . ) He

It could not be supposed that the government could consent to turn undertakers ' and . those who ' were alreadin-the

Deputation Of Protectionists To Lord Joh...
DEPUTATION OF PROTECTIONISTS TO LORD JOHN RUSSKLL . On Saturday last a deputation from the delegates who assembled at the Crown and Anchor , in the course of the week , waited on Lord John Russell , at his official residence in Downing-street , to present to him an address agreed to by the " Conference , " held at the . Crown , and Anchor Tavern , .. on the 7 th inst .. - ' '¦" -. ¦ ¦ - ¦ ' - ¦ Mr . 'G . Fi Yonuo headed the deputation , and read the address which was agreed to at the meeting of delegates ,
After a desultory conversation , in which the bad temper displayed by the meeting was the principal topic of discussion , ¦ Lord John Russell said : I can only aay that I take upon myself the whole responsibility of . any advice which I may feel it my duty , to give / to my sovereign . My experience leads me directly . to the opposite conclusionto that arrived at by yon upon the point , whether we ought to go on , with Free Trade , or return to the princi ples of Protection and Restriction , nor do I think it desirable to dissolve parliament ih order to arrive at the sense of the country on the subject : With fespect to the suffer ' - ing which is stated to exist , though I think much of what is said is incorrect , I have heard sufficient from some parts of the country to know that deep suffering
does exist , and I am aware that . that suffering-is partly attributable to the recent change in our coni mercial Jaws , and I . beliereitto be inevitable . . Tea years since , ! clearly , saw that this country required some change of those laws affecting supply , as it was yearly becoming more commercial , My object was to make the transition so as to occasion as little suffering as possible . , I . am sarry to say that , a combination of agricultural and other interests decided that no necessity for any change of our . system existed in 1840 , though the opinion of parliament in 1846 became completely changed . A general election followed their decision in 1847 , and tlie electors decided to continue" the policy the ; House of Commons had laid down in 1846 . I do not think it
was very wise on the part of the interests in 1840 not to seek some compromise of the . great question which I then brought under consideration . I think it would be fur more unwise now to . pretend to reimpose protective duties , for , so far from , that settling the question , I believe it would give rise to fresh agitation for alterations of the laws , which would be injurious ; to the protected'interests , themselves ; arid I-believe that nothing-could , be , more injurious to tliejpermanent . interests ofthe country than for parliament to impose protective duties in 1851 , which would again lead to agitation and their repeal in 1852 or 1853 . All return to the former
system being , as I believe , impossible , it may be desirable to equalise , if possible , tlie charges upon land , which I believe to be the wish of all parties . However great or difficult the change , I believe that the general aspect of tho country is encouraging , and that it is the duty and . interest of all parties to endeavour to adapt thcmselves . to it . Entertaining these views ,. I feel it ; my duty , either as a minister of the crown or a member of parliament , to , acr , in conformity / with them , and if I entertained your views I should act ' accordirigly . Mr . Young and Mr . Guihme having addressed a few words to bis lordship in supnort of their views , the deputation withdrew . " :
PaOTECTIONIST DEPUTATION TO LoRO STANLEY . — After the deputation had left . Lord John Russell ' s official residence , in Downing-street , on Saturday las'i they proceeded by appointment to wait on Lord Stanley , at the mansion of- the Earl- of Eglinton in St . James ' s-square , where Mr . Lay ton , as chairman of the deputation , presented an address to his lord : ship , in his'" acknowledged character of leader of the great Protection Party in the House ; of Lords . " In his ^ eplyi Lord Stanley counselled patience and-perseverance . Step by step , if not the quickest ? was at least the soundest , policy . It was only by gaining first one man and then the other that , in a permanent body like the , House of Lords , they could convert a mihoritv into a majority in favour of the
protective principles . His lordship concluded his address as follows : — " If you ask my advice , I say persevere in the course you have adopted . Agitate the country from one end to the other .., Continue to call meetings in every direction . Do not fear , do not flinch from discussion . 'B y all means ' accept the offer of holding a meeting in that magnificent building at Liverpool ; and in onr greatest ' eommorcial towns show that there is a feeling . in regard to the result of bur so-called free trade widely different from that whjch was anticipated by ; thefree traders , and from that which did prevail only a- few- yeafs ago ; VYour efforts . - . may ; ' nbt be bo goon crowned withsuccess as you hope ; ' but , ' depend upon it . let ' us stand hand to hand firmly , together , let the landlord , ' the tenant , and the labourer—aye ; and tho country shopkeeper—aye , before long , the
