      Parliamentary Reyletr. Narrow As Was The...

      Thexomplaint at this moment is , that a large portion of the most fertile lands are now l ying wholly uncultivated , and yet our Solons are for carrying [ away the very prime material hy which alone value can he given to it or wealth to the country—Labour . To every plan based upon the principle of reproductive labour applied to Ireland , for the benefit ofthe labourer , the landlords turn a deaf ear or denounce them as offsprings of the pernicious theories of Louis Blanc , - -who happens just now to he the popular bugbear hy which these nurses of old prejudices scare timid and unreasoning minds . Even now , when their selfishness and ignorance have plunged a noble country into utter ruin — -when landlordism has inflicted

      worse and more -wide-spread mischief and suffering upon Ireland , than years of bloody civil wars could have doneeven now , when the soil itself has become almost valueless to those who hare thus misused it—they stall keep a grim liold of it , and demand , as the final consummation of their policy , that a whole communit y shall be torn np from the land of its nativity , and transplanted to foreign shores , in order that a few hundred landlords may "do what they like with their own ! ' * Never was the monstrosity

      and the wickedness of the p rivate ownershi p of the soil more palpably and glaringly exposed than in this Irish illustration ! That accursed system lies at the root of most—if not of aU—the evils of -what is called civilisation . Without a free soil , true freedomeither political or social—is impossible , and we can only hope that now , -when the appalling results of this false and unjust princi ple have become so apparent , that it will create an agitation upon the subject , and a new public opinion , powerful enough to put an end to this crowning evil of our societarian

      arrangements . Mr . Drcsgioxd ' s motion on Taxation acted somewhat as Milton says the touch of Ithnriel ' s spear did to the Beyil , in the disguise of an Angel of . Lig ht . It showed the profitocracy in their proper persons . We have always saM , in reference to their schemes of " EnainMEeform .

      PROGRESS OF THE " WAR OF PRINCIPLES . " Brother Proletarians , Thereis a report in to-day ' s papers that the Romans have consented to admit the French into the Eternal City , to protect it against the Neapolitans . I place no faith in this rumour , were it for no other reason than that the Romans are quite able of themselves to protect their city against all that King

      BOMBA and his . band of cut-throats could attempt . Moreover , such an arrangement is utterly opposed to another arrangement reported by the Civita Vecchia correspondent of the "Times , " to the effect that two Envoys from the Roman Government are on their way to England , to solicit Lord PalMerston ' s mediation between the Romans and the French : and that General Oudinot has pledged himself to the Envoys not to attack Rome until the result of their mission is known .

      I shall indulge in the hope that the French are not yet within the walls of Rome ; and that the Romans have no intention to allow them to get there . As to the mission to Lord Palmerstoh , it may be true ; but if so I . feel persuaded that Mazzini must have been overruled , for he—knowing what he does of the perfidy of the English Government , and the bitter hatred of our aristocrats and moneymongers to Republicanism in every shape and form—le could not have willingl y assented to

      a mission so useless , if not mischievous and fatal I admit the possibility of Lord Pal-JHJrston mediating between the spoiler and Ms desired victim . ? hut his mediation will he onl y to betray the latter to the former . The coerced Portug « ese aud the betrayed Sicilians can tell the worth of JPalmersion ' s patronage . If the Romans trust to English sympathy , or Eflglish justice , thc . y are lost In no class bet ^ xsur own , brother Proletarians , are to be fonsd a hundred -men in all England , who feel fdr theRbniaBsfcrid would aid tfcem .

That heartless hypocrite ; the % * xg of Prussia , — who shed his erocodile tears over ihe patriots he murdered in March , 1848—has at lart utterly sorted with his nsask , and stands seif-cxposed the declared terrorist of Germany . Not eontent with

      absolving the Assembly , and trampiwg upon nis own pet " constitution , he has proclanned martial law flu-oug hout his dominions . . Unitary terrorism is the only hvw throughout Prussia .

Tou are a religious . kmg . May you realise in your own person tfie truth ofthe scriptural declaration : — " Those who live by the sword , shall perish by the sword . "

      The insurrection in Dresden has been suppressed —but only after seven days' fighting . I anticipated the failure of the insurrection , but I did not anticipate that the struggle would have continued duringseven days . One such another victory and the Saxon Jang will be undone . May his next fight be his last ! But , stop ; I must correct myself . The Xino of Saxony does m } , W > he onl y sets his miserable slaves to fight lor him . I perceive that the Morning Chronicle terms his Saxen kingship an " inoffensive monarch . the late

      This inoffensive worthy bronght about ^ msurrection , by betraying "Ms people to the R » o of Pbussia . He excited a conflict , and then ran away , to shelter himself in "the impregnable fortress of Eonigstein . " There he remained while his Saxon soldiers , aided by Prussian butchers , slaughtered his "beloved people . " One word to the Saxons : the next time their King consigns them to the tender mercies of his tmderling butchers , I advise them not to let his Kingship run to Konigstein . He wonld be of more utility as a hostage at Dresden .

      As I told you in my last letter , the Dresden Insurrection was but the beginning of the end . . Rhenish Prussia and Rhenish Bavaria are in a state of general insurrection . This day news . has arrived of the pro clamation of the , Republic in Saden and flig ht of . the Duke , The Times , Chronicle , and other papers pretend that the insurrections are already finished , or , at least , being rapidly "put down .

      theProletamns to accomplish a democratic revolution , that great change may be . effected with little orno disturbance or loss of life . If , on the other hand , war , massacre , and anarchy overspread Germany , the bourgeoisie will be to blame , and will , I trust , find the punishment they will , so well : merit , Wherever revolution is forced upon the people they should make the bourgeoisie responsible in their persons and property for the issue of the struggle . Brother Proletarians , I congratulate you on the'downfallof that arch-scoundrel Leon Faucher . Condemned by the vote of the National Assembly for tampering with the elections—left , in an inglorious minority of five—Monsieur Faucher found himself forced to place the resignation of his office , as Minister of the Interior , in the hands of the President . The curses * of hate and the hisses of scorn follow him in his retirement from office .

      The result of the French Elections is not yet known ; but one thing is certain : the wonderful progress of Red'Republican principles ia the army , feeeing that another revolution in France is inevitable , this is a most important fact . ' As yet we have seen only the beginning of the Revolutions of Europe ; the end is no longer uncertain now that thousands of French soldiers have recorded their votes for the Ripubliyue Demoeratique et Sociale .

At one o ' clock the high bailiff ( Wiliam Pritchard , Esq .. ) took the chair , and , having read the requisition he had received , said he had derived great pleasure in acceding to it , inasmuch as the meeting was convened for the pur-, pose of considering a matter of vast and important public interest , and which was now occupying " . *!

      very large portion of the public attention . ( Cheers . ) He then read two letters he had received from Mr .

      a v > Ywra FUUTUJX & . A Jew in Petticoat-lane , who had been a notorious fence for years in London , at last carried his p itcher to thc well once too often—in short , he was nabbodand-ln gged . From the first hewasquite aware that the scene of his future destiny would be laid in iNew South Wales ; and he set about providing for the change in the most business-like way imaginable . He realised all ho possessed , and had it placed to tlie account of his wife in one ofthe Sydney banks ; and the day after he received his sentence , sent her forward to the colorij to bo . ready for his arrival . Immediately upon his landing , his better half was ready with a petition to the governor to have him assigned to her as a convict servant , and , as she had

      qualified as a householder , the assignment was made to her as a matter of course . Indeed , a wife , if she had a family of children to back her claimand if she had not , she could easily borrow three or four brats for the occasion—rarely failed in having her husband assigned to her ; and thus the transported felon not only became his own master , but found himself in a place where he could employ tlie fruits of his past nefarious course to more advantage than he could have done had he been allowed to continue his career at home . The large and rapid fortune which these gentry have made in Sydney would almost appear fabulous , even in the purlieus of Capel-court during an epidemic mama for speculation . The spectacle of a millionaire emancipist is by no means a Vara avisand from

      , five to twenty thousand a year may be taken as the average income of the aristocracy of that worthy class . . Indeed , they quite over-top the free and respectable inhabitants ; and the exhibition is the more glaring because they endeavour to revenge ' themselves for the noU me tanmre of the untainteu crtftten by the most ostentatious display of their health . ' You shall count hundreds of carriages-and-TOur , barouches , landaus , < Sk ., on the race course at FlVG-dook Farm 5 and yous- cicerone in giving you an account of their proprietors will only fee giving you acatalogue of the most successful felonry of the colony . ' ' Still , in spite of their display , there is always the iscanness ^ ofthe parvem amongst these ige . itry : * ferthey ^ will give anything to acquire a footingln the societV of the free settlers , whom , at

      the same time , they appear so ani & itious of outshining . I knew . ajL instance of a Wealthy emancipist , who had for a 16 ag timc been endeavouring in vain to induce a' respectable draper to lend him his countenance , by taking a seat in feis barouche ; despairing « t last offceing able agaift to scrape an acquaintance with him , he turned his attention to a person in the same trade ; but k more humble circumstances ; "ever the way . He finally succeeded ia ; eori ' Upting his -virtue , and in enrolling one firec r SdCtfer on the list 'of his acquaintances , by the lavish expenditure of himself and his emancipist-friends . It has < eTten struck me that these ipeoplo , who are certainly not endowed with any 'excess of modesty , so * arcly return to , da # zle their old Intends and enemies at home . I only know one

      instaace of the kind "; and if the reception he met With in his native place was generally known , I do not think that it wohM deter others from following His example . Master P—;— was a very large ihopse-dealer to Efecdlnshire , ransacking all the "fafes in the United Kingdom for hunters , carriagehorses , and h » oks , and , after making "them up , disiposing of rfiem "to groat advantage amongst the gentry within fifty miles of his stables . He was a master-hand-at'hfe craft , and had , notoriously , accumulated < oonsiderable wealth : ; but one luckless ( or , as it wJtimately turned out , lacky ) day , he happened to ¦ sell a'borse at a high figure to a gentleman who rctmmetiiitas unsound , and , . as'our hero refused tofetupn > the ! iKoney , aserecs'of expansive law-suits was the iresiilt , in which he was finally discomfited .

      LATEST NEWS . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . THURSDAY , Mat 17 . * HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The Landed Improvement and Dkalnage ( Ireland ) 'Bill was read a third time and passed . Poor Relief ( Ireland ) Bill . —On the question of the second reading of the said bill , _ Mr . Qrogan suggested various amendments which he considered necessary , with a view to the better carrying out of the relief of the poor . Mi-. P . ScnorE drew a melancholy p icture of the state of distress and starvation going on in Ireland , contending that , although the government said they were doing all they could for . the alleviation of these

      evils , in his opinion they had not done sufficient . He would suggest that in administering relief , -a greater responsibility should exist somewhere than was the case at present ; that some public officer should be appointed , whose duty it should be to give compulsory orders for relief in cases of urgent . necessity , for it was not a sufficient security ^ that the relieving officer might bo subject to dismissal , if a pauper uied « fcbrough his negligence . Mr . Osijorke desired to know . why the bill was brought forward at a time when there was a committee sitting up stairs oil the subject of the Irish Poor Laws . If thc passing of the measure was

      necessary before their report was received , why was not the bill brought ia . at the commencement of thc session ? At thc same time it was not his intention to oppose the second reading , because he felt that it was impossible with the present system of poor laws to struggle with the condition of Ireland . As to able-bodied poor , they did not exist .. There were no able-bodied men in Ireland except such as were employed by some few proprietors on their own estates . It was merely , deluding the people to suppose they could bo supported under the existing law , or by such a peddling change as that now under consideration .

      Lord Claude Hamilton called upon the government , to introduce a bill on the subject of settlement . . ' Mr . Gallaoiian said by tho existing law occupiers of crown ' property were exempt from tho payment of rates , and suggested ' that . they should be called upon to contribute their fair proportion towards the relief of distress . ; Col . Duna'e did not believe that the committer wouldmsike any report . Mr . Bri g ht had the committee completely under his influence , and he knew many witnesses had been examined on subjects totally irrelevant to the Irish poor law .

      Mr . H . Herbert charged tho government witli having changed the character of tho Irish people from habits of honest self-dependence into tliat of hopeless beggary , no resource being left but that of the Imperial Exchequer . Sir w . Somkrville defended the course taken by the government in introducing the bill , which was the result of a portion of the evidence taken by the committee and already submitted to the House . Mr . V . Smitu was desirous of knowing , from what source , when the maximum rate was exhausted , the fm-ther amount for the relief of thc poor was to bo raised , whether from the land or the consolidation fund . .

      Lord J , Russell defended the principle of a maximum rate , and with regard to a rate-in-aid , as a general principle , thought it ought not to be continued beyond a limited period . Respecting the consolidated fund , he did not think it would be any ground for calling upon that fund to say that the 7 s . rate had been found insufficient , for it would be much better to leave those who were still to be relieved to such sources as they had before the poor law was introduced . The noble lord concluded his observations of a gcneval character by stating that he should reserve any remarks on the details until the bill went into committee .

      Mr . Horsman contended , in . a powerful speech , tb & t Ireland possessed great resources , land and labour , within herself , and enormous accumulations of capital close at hand , which was looking for . investment , and asked whether it was to be said that the present opportunity which providence had given was to be lost because in a British parliament there was not energy , or skill , or capacity enough to turn them to thc best advantage . Could they sit quietly down with a conclusion so discreditable to their intelligence , to their patriotism , and to their common ¦ sense ? The treatment of Ireland was the foulest that ever disgraced a Christian conntry , but he trusted the time had now arrived when parliament would do something to remedy the wrongs of a virtuous , a generous , but a much oppressed people . After a few observations from Mr . Napier , Mr . Clements , Mr . M . O'Connell , Sir II . 13 arron , Mr . IIonsell , Mr , S . Crawford , Sir D . Nobreys , and Mr . Statifoed , the bill was read a second time .

      The Police of Towns ( Scotland ) Bill was read a second , and the Accounts of Turnpike Trusts ( Scotdand ) Bill a third time , and passed . Sale op Skead . —Mr . Bankes postponed his mo-* ion for a committee on tho subject ofthe sale of ¦ bread until after Whitsuntide . Mr . : Smith O'Brien . —Lord John Kusskll stated that he should propose on Friday that the record in the case of the conviction of Mr . TV . S . O'Brien he read , that then ho should move two resolutions , and that a new writ be issued for the election Of a . member for the county of Limerick in the place of Mr . W . S . O'Brien , The House ithen adjourned .

      The following appeared in our Town Edition of last week : — FRIDAY , May 11 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Rate-in-Aid Bill . —The Earl of Carlisle then proceeded to move the second reading of the Rate-in-Aid Bill . The provisions of this measure have been so repeatedly explained in its progress through the House of Commons that it is unnecessary to give them here . A long discussion ensued , when The Eari of Roden moved , as an amendment that the bill be read a second time on that day six months . The amendment was supported by the Archbishop of Dublin , Lord Beaumont , thc Earl of Rosse , Earl Fitzwilliam ; Lord Monteaole , and the Earl of Wicklow ; and the original motion was supported by the Marquis of Clanricarde , the Earl St . Germans , Lord Audley , and the Marquis of Lansdowne . Their lordships then divided—• Contents for tlie second readinir ... i 8

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The second reading of the Land Improvement and Drainage ( Ireland ) Bin having been moved , Major Blackall complained of tho many abuses which had been committed in the public works in Ireland , instanced them by the reading of documents , suggested amendments , urged that the cultivation of flax should be encouraged by the erection of mills , and expressed his intention of not opposing the bill .

      Mr . Sharman Crawford supported the second reading , but at the same time expressed his belief that the bill would but very inefficiently deal with the evils of Ireland . It was a great mistake to suppose that there was no capital in Ireland ; there was plenty , and if a secure title could be given , it would soon be invested in land . The Chancellor of tho Exchequer , after referring to some observations of Mr . O . Gore on a former occasion , said the whole of the circumstances complained of arose from the negligence of Irish proprietors , who left everything to the , overseere , and then complained ofthe auras charged on them . Mr . F . French and Mr . Horsman both opposed the measure , when " .. ' Sir George Grey replied , and the bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed on Monday . .

      Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill . — -The Solicitor-General then moved the second reading of the Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill . Mr . Stafford cordiall y approved of tho bill , and thanked the government for bringing it forward . Mr . John O'Connell concurred in Mr . Stafford ' s panegyric on the bill . Colonel Dunne observed that he could not concur with those whe unreservedly approved of tho bill . He objected to the principle of Testing , without ap . peal , such extraordinary powers n the hands of any three persons . Sir A ; Brooke thought that some supplementary measure should be introduced , rendering it imperii tircon such as purchased land under it to reside for some portion of the year in Ireland , or to find eiflployment for the people .

He also feared the ' effect which it would have upon the interests of mortgagees . Mr . Sadleir approved of tlie bill . Mr . Keooh again expressed his approbation ofthe bill , as one which would confer advantages on all classes in Ivelund , from the peasant to tlie proprietor .

      House Of Lords. - Writ Of Error; Friday,...

      HOUSE OF LORDS . - WRIT OF ERROR ; Friday , May 11 . ' O'BRIEN- V . THE QUEEN . M ' JIASUS V . THE QUBES . Mr . ' 0 'CALLAGHAN having finished his argument 0 n behalf of Mr . M'Manus , and the learned judges bavin * asked leave of their lordships , . withdrew to draw up their answer to the question . They returned soon after , and Lord Chief Justice Wilde read their answer to t his effect , that , they-were unanimously of opinion that thc errors assigned by the p laintiffs in error had not been maintained . Ihe first objection , relatingto the caption of . the record , was ^ bunded on tlie facts disclosed in the cai > tion , that the commission had been executed by three commissioners nominated for . that purpose ; acting under a commission directed to them and others . The judges present were all of opinion that the statement of the appointment was sufficient ., and

      not made uncertain by the further statement that the commission included ^ others besides the three judges , thc second objection raised on behalf of the plaintiffs in error involved two questions ; first ,, whether a copy of the indictment and a list of the witnesses must of right be delivered to a prisoner indicted foi- high treason ? 2 ndly , whether , if he was so entitled , the objection could be made the subject of a plea ? Her Majesty ' s judges were of opinion , that the plaintiffs in error were not entitled as of ri g ht to a copy of the indictment , or to a list of the witnesses , and being of that opinion , it was unnecessary to consider whether the objection to the non-delivery of them could'be antsubjectfor a plea .

      Tlie right ofthe plaintiffs in error to tlie delivery of these documents was put in the provisions of . the English act , 36 Geo . III ., which it was contended was extended to Ireland , if not including in its terms , by " the acts 57 Geo . Ill , and 11 and \ 'i Vict . The judges , however , were of opinion that in no way was . tho act 36 Geo . III . operative in Ireland . It was made perpetual in England by the act ot 57 Geo . III . His lordship stated the operation of several sections of the last-mentioned act , and of 11 and 12 Vict , upon the act of 30 Geo . III ., and said they did not affect the crime charged in the 6 th , count of this indictment . As to the next objection that the counts of the indictment , charging a levying of war , < fec . in Ireland , did not contain , any offence known to the law , the judges were of

      opinion that that objection also laued . Tlie onence there charged was declared to be treason by the 25 th of Edw . III ., and that'act was made applicable to Ireland by Poyning ' s acts . The next objection applied to the allocutus , and the judges were of opinion that the form used was proper , What was asked of a prisoner after verdict was , what he had to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him . The variety of precedents proved nothing in support of the objection . . The objection raised on thc record as to the challenges was abandoned in the . argument , and very properly . The judges did not enter into further reasons in support ' of their answers to the questions put by their lordships , because the objections had been already so fully and satisfactorily disposed of by the learned judges before whom they were raised in Ireland .

      Thc Lord Chancellor observing that thc learned judges agreed unanimousl y in their opinion , and in the opinion of the learned judges in the court below , did not suppose their lordships would have any . difficulty in coming to the same opinion . For himself , ho had not from tho beginning ofthe argument felt any doubt in the case . It was impossible to road the reasons of ihe judgment in tho court belowwhich were extremely elaborate , and most creditable to the judges there—and to entertain a doubt that they had come to n right conclusion . That conclusion is sustained and confirmed by the unanimeua opinion of the learned judges present . His lordship concluded by moving that the judgment of the court below for the defendant in error be affirmed . Lord Lyxdhurst expressed his concurrence in the observation and motion made by the Lord Chan ^ cellor .

      Lord Brougham , in expressing his assent , said he could not do so without paying a tribute to thegreat learning and ability with which the judges ia Ireland had dealt with the ease . He never read an abler or more satisfactory judgment that that-of Chief Justice Blackburn , and the other judges were , entitled to similar respect . Lord Campbell concurred in all tho respect that was paid and due to the learned judges in Ireland , and he also agreed in the opinion expressed by the Lord Chancellor . Judgments were then given for the defendant iii error m each case . Upon the motion of Lord Brougham it was ordered that thoopinion just delivered by the learned judges be printed .

      Fire In The Old Jewry.—Last Night, Short...

      Fire in the Old Jewry . —Last night , shortly before eight o ' clock , a fire broke outupon the premises occupied conjointly by Mr . Roberts , an auctioneer ; and Mr . Lloyd , a solicitor , No . 7 , Old Jewry , Cheapside . It appears that a young man named Mears , a clerk to Mr . Lloyd , was engaged on the first floor warming a quantity of gold-Size Which boiled over , and the contents of the saucepan became ignited . Tho unfortunate man then took the saucepan off the fire , and was , it is supposed , in the act of carrying it down into the street , when his foot slipped , and thc liquid ran down the staircase , setting it on ' fire , and at the same time running over the man ' s body . After running to and fro for some time , he at length fell into the street , and some parties having thrown water over him , the fire about his person was extinguished , but not until he was frightfull y burned , so that it is doubtful whether he can recover . Tho flames in the house were , fortunately , confined to the staircaso .

      Cioar Makers . —A crowded public meeting on behalf of the cigar makers lately in the employ of Messrs . Newton , Jonas , and Caronols , was held in the Hall of Science , City-road , on Wednesday , May 9 th . Mr . Edwards in the chair . The meeting was . addressed by Messrs . Brisck , A . Walton , Moss , A . Campbell , and Hart ; and the following resolutions wore carried unanimously . — " That this mcetin-v is of opinion that tho men lately in the employ of " Messrs . Sewton , Jones , and Caronels , are fully justified in withdrawing themselves from the employ of those gentlemen , they having themselves declared , most

      emphatically , in the presence of neutral parties , their decided belief that the system of bunch making introduced into their establishment , would ultimately be found alike pernicious to the employers and employed , and have a general tendency to injure the trade of cigar making . "— " That this meet , ing is of opinion that the cigar makers who have lately withdrawn themselves from the employ ofthe Messrs . Newton , Jonas , and Caronels , are well worthy the support of the Trades of the Metropolis , and the country generally , and , therefore , pledge ourselves to use our best exertions in rendering them our support .
