      THE SONG OF STJMMIB . - ' ... * rnuHCMi * ow » . AmW the huth of nortijtrn hills , Wn « early sunrise shone On verdant woods and shining streams , Aud summits gray and Ions , A minstrelfrom hie mountain home With res tie lyre came forth , And thai in native numbers sang The Summer of the North : — " We see the glory of thy steps Upon our bills once more ; Oh , thou , the hope of every heart , The jbjr of every shore ! Oar aides have gained their deepest bl « e >

      Our woods their vernal prime , For Heaven and Earth rejoice la thee , Thou glorious summer time * " Thine are the long and cloudiest days , The eves of golden light , Whose lingering glories meet themorn , And leave no room fox night ; The freshness of theearly dew , The glow of breathless noon , And the showers , for which the woodlands wait , As for a promised boon .

      « Thy roses send thair sweetness forth From leafy bower and brake , And thy lilies spread their floating snow Upon the sunlit lake ' ; To tha old forest ' s lonely depth Thy pretence joy imparts . And reaches ' , through tha clouds of car * , The depths of human hearts . " Wellhath onrdreamy ahildhoodloved To wander forth with the * , To leafy giove and grassy glen , And fountain fresh and free . Ba t where are they that in those fair And pleasant paths had part , And when will it return to us That summer of the heart f «» for hope hat changed to weariness ,

      And love hath changed to strife , And few , of all those early friends , Havebeenthefriends of life ; A « d we have left the sunny track Of childhood far behind . Andsee it oaly through the thorns That after years hare twined . "Buttbouartbrightand changeless stflf , Queen ofthe circlingyears ; Thy brow hath known no touch of time . Thine eye bo tnce of tears ; tor still as bright its SUBlbiuo fo 3 S Upon the woods and waves , . As if that light had never shone On broken hearts or graves , " Net less seasonable , and as welcome , will be th e Mowing simple batchanning lines , from the peno * another popular poetess : — -

      LTRICS OF LIFE . —BY HART HOWITT A StWDiT . «« Our six days'tod is over ; This is the day of rest : The bte hums in the clover , The lark syrings from her nest . AU living things are cheery Upon this Sabbath mom ; The blackbird cannot weary Of singing on the thorn ; . - The sheep within the meadow , Like driven snow they look ; The cows stand in the shadow " Within thewfllowybroek . "lis Eke that famous picture Which came from London down , — Ten must go and see that picture

      When next you ' re in the Own !—And then there ' s that engraving I told yon of last spring—I ' ve been these six months saving To buy that lovely thing ! Well , both of them resemble This view at early day , When diamond dew-drops tremble Upon the dog-rose spray ; In both there is the river . The church spire , and the mill ; The aspens seem to shiver ; The cloud floats o ' er the bill ! " As soon as breakfast ' s over , We'll forth this merry mora , Among the fragrant clover

      And through the summer cornj In the great church of Kature , Where God himself is priest , Wfell join each joyful creature , Flower , insert ; bird , and beast , The birds praise God in singing Among the leafy sprays , And a loving heart is worship , A joyful soul is praise ! Come then , this day of seven , God ' s gift to toil , shall be A little bit of heaven On earth to thee and mi ! 'lis I the babe wfll carry—My youngest , darling boy—And Bess sad little Harry ,

      They will be wild with joy ; For them the wild rose ming les "With woodbine on the bough . And birds in leafy dingles Shout welcome to them now t Sweet wife , make haste ! down yonder , Down by the miller ' s farm , Through old field-paths well wander , Tbj hand within my arm I *« For Sunday leisure heeding , The books I ' ve bought are these—The very books for reading Beneath the summer trees ! They ' re by that brave yoang poet "Who wrote of Locksley Hail-That charming rewej—yoa knew it—Ton saw it first of all ! And ' neath the lime-tree shady ,

      Among the summer corn , I'D read of Burleigh ' s lady—A Tillage maiden born . — Haste , haste , and get tbte ready , The morn is wearing on ; The woodland lanes are shady ; The dew dries ; let ' s be gone V A dish of Scotch " parritth , " thongh a plain , » s a wholesome dish , and " not to be sneezed at . It our readers consider a like compliment to be due to the author of the following lines , he will , no doubt , feel folly satisfied .

      We havebeforespoken in terms of warm and honest laudation ofthe poetical talent of the author ' ofthe annexed "Fragments . " We are sure that our teadera will agree with us , that Joseph Butler can write genuine poetry .

      SELECTED FRAGMENTS , » I JOSETH H . BOIUB . 1 . From an unpublished Drama . —Att n . — ( Marco in Prison . ) * . * . * " Were these cors'd chains but off I might dig out A passage , and escape before the dawn : This is the lot of him who serves a tyrant ! ( Oftbtip Ml state . ) When did not chains , and darkness , yea , and death , ' ' ' Become the portien of the faol who placed His faith ou them ! Thtir words are brittle stuff ! Aud when we hope to gain their lofty favour

      They snap the tender thread that holds us up And down we ' iall—oft'dmes to rise no sere I 0 Freedom J thy immortal sunny ray Gives lift unto the heart . The blood of those Who die in thy great cause shall never sink Into the earth , —and every spot where fell Thy brave devoted bauds shall be a shrine "Worsfaipp'd by pilgrims till the end of that , . Rivers may change their course , and' mountains sink In the dread earthquake . But the saeredgrennd Where Liberty was bought with noble blood ShaU not bs blotted from the page of time !

      —God neer made a bondman , , . Ke ' er made one man to be his fellows ' eisilm , Ne ' er curs 'd the earth , that its fair breast should yield Unto the proud lord milk , bnt to the peasant . Nothing bat poiioa ! ' .,.--,

      —Think not Freedom ' s won . With gentle smiles and yielding blandishments ; She spurns your dainty wooer , t ; . , . — . And turns to sinewy arms and hearts of steal . ~ The war-cloud U her conch—her matin hymn j The battle-shout of freemen !

      IT . * * " •' . ' . ' » There sever was a lovelier star , Bosomed in the vast realms of spaee , Than was our earth , ere savage War And mad -Ambition came to chase . The smiling form of Petes away , ; And blot with cloud the face of day . Then kings and tyrants rose to berth Bnliog with iron sway the earth . Oppression too was born . When wrongM—the poor men cried in Tain ,

      Still galled the oppressive , cruel chain , Bed glowM the fields with battle ' s stain , In tbe aright eye of morn . - Then rose proud thrones in glittering pride , With countless cast of gold , And monarch * fleers swept o ' er the tide , And—men were bought—and sold ! While , boundle *• as the ocean ware , Ambition mads the world * grare—Building a shrine of human bones , And glorying in the wreck of thrones .

      While nations at tha drum ' s load thrill , Kush'd like the Siroc , strong to kill . Then fell the ponderous hammers' blows , To form the tampered sword for ioes—And the dread cannons * mouth seat wide Its glebes of fate—while roll'd the side Of fira and fury—far aad wide ! * * * ? Extreme of dread I mutt despots Tale , And man be still their waited tool ! No—see upon the freeman ' s thigh The scourge of tyrants glittering high , ' And strong in God—and his right hand lie riser—for his native land . Since no alternative remains ,.

      He shads his blood to burst his chains , By tbe free Swifzers sparkling riffs , Or on your heights , gray Tyrol's hills , Or in tbe Spartan ' * mountain pass , — Where died tbe heart leonSdas , — Or on some desert wild and stem , A If anion moor , or Bannockborn 1 Or for Columbia ' s rising sun , Beholds some infant , Washington !—He built no steps of human bones , To rise to power on gilded thrones ; It was a holy sword he wielded , A holy cause bis buokter shielded , And every stream and mighty river Shall murmur of his fame for ever !

      The subjoined most beautiful and affecting linos were written by the late William Motherwell , and fint published in Toft's Magoxine ; observing a re print of them in a recent number of a provincial contemporary ,.. we boohed them . for our "feast . " Who will question , who can doubt that the following poem is " one of the truest and tenderest effusions of the Scottish lyrical muse , which modern days { . we will add—or ancient either—] hate produced . "

      ' JBAN 1 E MOBBISOH " . - I've wander'd east , I ' ve wanderM west . Through many a weary way ; But never , never can forget , The lave of life ' s young day . The fire that's blawn on Beltane e ' en , ' May well be black gin Tide ; " But blacker fa'awaits the heart Where first fond luve grows cool . Oh ! dear , dear JeanieMorrison , The thoaghts o * bygone years Still ding their shadows ower my path ,

      And blind my e ' en wr tears . They blind my e'en wi' saut , saut tears , And sair and sick I pine , As memory idly summons up The With blinks o'lang syne . 5 T was then we luvit ilk ither weel , 'Twas then we twa did part ; Sweet time—sad time ! twa bairns at schule , Twa bairni , and but ae heart ! Twas then we sat on ae laiga oink To leir ilk ither lear ; And tones / and looks , and smiles were shed , Kemember'd evtr mair .

      I wonder , Jeanie , aften yet , When sitting on that bink , Cheek teaching cheek , looflock'din loof , What our wee heads could think ? When baith bent down ower , ae braid page Wi ae bulk on our knee , Thy lips were on thy lesson , but My lesson was in thee . - 1 Oh mind ye bow we hong oar heads , How cbetksburn'd redwi' shame . Whene ' er tbe schule-weans , laughin' said , "We decked together hame 1 And mind ye o' the Saturdays , ( The schule then skail't at noon ) When wo ran aff to speel thebraes—Thebroomy braes o' June !

      Hy head rins round and round about , Hy heart flows like a sea , As ane by ane the thoughts rush bach 0 ' schule-time and o' thee . Ob , ' mornfo'life ' Oh , mornin 'IuTfl ! Ob , lightsome days and lang , When binukd hopes around oar hearts Like simmer blossoms sprang . Oh ! mind ye , luve , how oft we left The dearin'dinsome loan , To wander by the green burn side , And hear its waters croon ; The simmer leaves hung ower oar heads , The flowers burst round our feet , And in the gloamin' o * the wad , Tbe throisU whusslit sweet .

      The throssil whusslit in the wnd . The burn snng to tbe trees , And we with Nature ' s heart in tuna Concerted harmonies , And on the knowe abune the burn , For hours together sat In the silentness o'joy , till baith Wi' very gladness grat ! Aye , aye , dear Jeanie Morrison , Tearj trinkled down jour cheek , Like dewdrops on a rose , yet nane Had ony power to speak ! That was a time , a blessed time , When hearts were fresh and young , When freely gush'd all feelings forth , Unsyllabled , unsung !

      I marvel , Jeanie Morrison , Gin I ha ' e been to thee As closely twined wi' earliest thoehts As je ha ' e been to me I - Oh ! tell me gin their music fills Thine ear as it does mine : Oh ! ssy gin e ' er your heart grows grit Wi' dreamiogs of lang syne ! I ' ve wander 'd east , I ' ve wander'd west , I ' ve borne aweary lot ; ; But in my wanderings , far or near , Tc never were forgot .

The lave o 'life ' s young day . 0 dear , dear Jeanie Morrison , Since we were sinder'd young , I ' ve never seen yonr face ; nor heard . The music o * your tongue ; ¦ Bat I ceuld hug all wretchedness , And happy could I dee Did I but ken your heart stilt dream 'd ; bygone days and me !

      a As is universally known , the Duke of Wellington is in the habit of giving a grand banquet'annually , on the 18 th of June , to the surviving chiefs ofthe British army who shared with him the perils and " glory" of Waterloo . Last ytar the National ( Paris paper ) exhibited an unseemly display of i / 1-temper because of the Duke ' s dinner ; treating his DukeshipV "feed" as a national insult to France ! We hope the . National will show better sense this year . The Duke ' s banqueti ia merely the ' stuffing match of a few old military aristocrats , who once a year meet to " fight their battles o'er again , " without reference to the feelings or views of the English people ; the English people being quite as indifferent towards them . This year , to turn therecollectiohof a gigantic tragedy into a present farce , ; Prince

      Albert , attired in a Field-Marshal ' s ' uniform , "honoured" the Duke with his attendance . The Prince wssaccompanied by the Marquis of Abercorri , " Groom of the Stole to His Royal Highness . " We are not sufficiently acquainted with : the world of "flunkeydom"tobe able , to tell oar readers what are the duties of a " groom of the stole . " When the " hob nobbing " began there was of course the usual loyal palaver concerning " Her Majesty" and "His Koyal Highness ; " this called up " Field-Marshal" Albert , who in returning' thanks said , " He felt highly flattered at being the only officer not present on the ever-memorable field of Waterloo , who had the honour of a seat at their banquet table . " No doubt" His Royal Highness " does feel exceedingly comfortable , or , as he say ^—" highly nattered " that be was not at- Waterloo . Byron

      «* y » : — : "' Tib sweet to win—no matter how—one's laurels ;" and " the Prince" seems to be exactly of the same opinion . We are told that on the Prince rising to address the company the band played tho "Coburg March , " which meant the march from Pimlico to Windsor , arid back again . To - .- » Greatly , daring dine , " .., is also one ofthe toils of his Field-Marshalship , and " war to the knife " and fork is , we baliere , his usual and ' thrillihg battle-cry . Two years ago we commenced our

      BEAUTIES OF BIRON , by giving that magnificent and matchless description of the events preceding the battle of Waterloo , with the final catastrophe , from Child * Harold , commencing : — l " Stop!—for thy tread is on an empire ' s dust ) An earthquake ' s spoil is sepulchred below 1 " Subsequently we " honoured" "tho Duke" by republishing the exquisite satire from Don Juan , commencing : — "• ' " Ob , Wellington ! or * Villainton '—for fame Sounds the heroic syllables both ways . " A few more words from the pen of Byron ( in ' . * honour" ofthe recent . ' , ' banquet" ) will no . denbt be welcomed by oar readers . The blood of the most stagnant-hearted slave might ran fire at the trampet-like sound of the following lines : — '

      WATERLOO . ODE PfcOK THE FBBHCH , We do not curse thee , Waterloo ! Thongh Freedom ' s blood thy plain bedew ; There't was shed , but is not sunk—Rising from each gory trunk , like the water-spout from ocean , With a strong and growing motion-It scars aud mingles in the air , With that of lost Labedoyere—With that of him whose honour'd grave

      Contains the " bravest of the brave . " A crimson cloud it spreads and glows , Bat shall return to whence it rose ; When 'tis full ' twill burst asunder—Never yet was heard such thunder , As then shall wake the world with wonder-Never yet was seen such lightning As o ' er heaven shall then be bright ' mog ! Iiifce the ' Wormwood Star foretold By the sainted seer of old , Showering down a fiery flood , Turning rivers into blood .

      The chief has fallen , hut notbyyou , ¦ Vanquishers of Waterloo ! . When tbe soldier citizen Sway'd not o ' er his fellow-men—Save in deeds that led them on Where Glory smiled on Freedom's ton—Who of all the despots banded , With that youthful chief competed ? Who could boast o ' er France defeated , Till lone Tyranny commanded ! Till goaded by Ambitiou ' i sting , The Hero sunk into the King ! Then he fell : —so perish all Who would men by man enthral !

      in . And thou , too , of the snow-white plumel Whose realm refuted thee ev ' n a tomb ; Better hadst thou still been leading France o ' er hosts of hirelings bleeding , Than sold thyself to death and shame For a meanly royal name ; Such as he of Naples wears , Wbo . thy bloed-bought title bears , Little didst thou , deem , when dashing On thy war-horse through the ranks ,

      Like a stream which burst its banks , . While belm » ts cleft , and sabres clashing , Sbaneand shivered fast around thee—Of . the fate at last which found thee : ' Was . that haughty plume laid low By a slave ' s ' dishonest blow ! .., . . Once- as tbe moon sways e ' er the tide , It rqil'd in air the wiirrior ' s guide J Through the smoke-created night Of the black and sulphurous fight , Tbe soldier raised bis seeking eye To catch that crest ' s ascendancy . , And as it onward rolling rose . So moved his heart upon our foes . , There , where death ' s brief pang was quickest , And the . hattle ' s wreck lay thickest , Strew'd beneath the advancing bimner . . Ofthe eagle ' sburniagcrest— : ; .. . ( There with thunder clouds to fail her , WAo could then her wing

      arrest-Victory beaming from her breast ?} While the broken line enlarging Fell , or fled along the plain ; There be sure was Murat charging ! Thfie bs ne ' wsnall charge again I IV . O ' er glories gone tbe invaders march , Weep's triumph o ' er eachlevellM arch—Butlet Freedom rejoice , With her heart in her voice ; Bat , her hand on her sword , Beubly shall she be adored ; France hath twice too well been taught

      The " moral lesson" dearly bought—Her safety sits not on a throne , With Capet or Napoleon ! Bat in equal rights and laws , Hearts and hands in one great cause-Freedom , such as God hath given Unto all beneath his heaven , - With their breath , and from their birth , Though Guilt would sweep it from tho earth ; With a fierce and lavish hand Scattering nations' wsalth like sand ; Pouring nations' blood like water , In imperial seas of slaughter !

      T , But the heart and the mind , And the voice of mankind , ShaU arise in communion— ,, And who shall resist that proud union ? The time is past when swords subdued—Man may die—the soul ' s renew'd : Bven ; in this low world of care . Freedom ne ' er shall want an heir ; Millions breathe but to inherit Here for eyer-boundirig spirit-When once more her hosts assemble , Tyrants shall believe and tremble-Smile they at this Hie threat ! Crimson tears will follow yet !

      Prospects Of The Drama, That The Present...

      PROSPECTS OF THE DRAMA , That the present generation has for some time past exhibited symptoms of a disrelish for entertainments purely dramatic , few persons who have been anything but superficial observers can doubt ; The appetite for the legitimate , as it is the cant of the day to call the productions of Shakspere and the elder dramatists , is not by any means 'nationally , vigorous—popular feeling in this respect , as in everything else , appearing to have sought other channels for its expression . The devotees of the Avonian bard , and the worshippers at the shrine-of Ot way and Massinger , cum multis aliis , lament this general apostasy , and sigh over the fallen glories of Drury , and the desecration of the home of the Kembies . forgetting that it isl

      the nature of most sublunary matters to be subject i to change / and that public , tastes and amusements are hy no means exempt from this universal law . Opera , burlesque , and melodrama may be safely said to have been ; obtaining for some years , to the prejudice of tragedy and comedy ; and though it is beyond our ijimits analytically to discuss the why and the wherefore of this , it must be evident to the moat commonplace understandings , that those who are tho convenient scape-goats for all theatrical grievances—mana ; gers , are not in this instance ihe individuals who have brought about the change . A few general observations are sufficient to show that lessees are blameless in this matter , and that the vox populi has decreed , at all events for a time , the suspension of any reof the

      presentation poetic drama ;—whether a reaction in its favour , may take place , is quite another question , Bunu , Macrcady , and Osbaldiston at the national theatres , as it is the fashion te nomenclature ' those huge mistakes ; have proved to a demonstration that playing the "legitimate" has been the most rapid road that could bs taken to arrivoat the Bankruptcy Court;—the first-named has therefore very wisely discarded it , —the ex- " eminent" manager is contentto star it in the metropolis and the provinces , and the last serves up the palatable and profitable dish of domestic melodrama at a transpontine establishment . . Mr ' and Mrs Keeley tried their hands at it on one or two occasions during * their regime , and invariably burnt tlieir { fingers : —Sadikr ' b Wslls appears

      to be its Inst and sole abiding-place in the metropolis , and the secret of ( its success here has arisen from the selection by Mr Phelps of a good workingcompany . the non-engagement of stars , the low rent of his house , and the limited extent of hia expenses . It has intermittingly gleamed at the Pjukoess ' s with a fitful light , but then everyone went to see the last ofthe Kombles , or'the great tragedian—the face of the one not being exactly familiar—and the " points " of the other proving always attractive . It is now , since the closing of its asylum at Islington , virtually without a home , and under these circumstances Charles Keanand his talented wife return to England , report assigning them to the JJatmarket . Charles Kean was always the fashion " with the

      description of people who frequent Mr Webster ' s esta- blishment , but the presti ge even of his name and that of , his all-accomplished partner will not , in our opinion , be sufficient for a revival of a past taste , and we confess we do not exactly see how the lessee ' of the " little theatre " is to support these a r tist e s with his present company efficiently in the line of character they have been accustomed to play . It should also be borne in mind that tragedy was never a staple attraction at this house , and we incline to the opinion that after the novelty has worn off , a return even here must be had to the usual bill of fare , and we shall then find the Keans treating with Maddox , and finally provincialising . ? The supporters of the " legitimate" are big with the hope that Bunn has been ousted from Daunt Lane , and in anticipation have assigned its direction to the Keeleys , Mr Spicer , Macready , a Committee

      of Management , and , in fact , every one doubtless but the right Individual , who , if he possess one particle of comnunvsense , will never attempt to run counter to the popular taste . Should Bunn resume the reins of management ( which we believe will really be the case ) he may give his patrons a taste of the Keans . as he was anxious to do ofthe Kunible , but he will be too wise to present them with toujour / perdrix , and the admirers of Shakspere would be sorry to see bis resuscitation entrusted to such bands . Madame Yestris and Mr Charles Mathews take the Lyceum , where , of course , the lightest description of dramatic vol an vent will bo the order of the day ; so that wc are almost atraid the restoration ofthe poetio drama must await the completion of Mr Buckstone ' s new theatre in Leicester-square , or ' the opening of Mr Mscready ' g long talked-of model establishment ,-things not very likely to come to pass just yet .

      A Lament On The Death Ot The Liberator, ...

      A lament on the death ot the Liberator , published in the Cork Southern Reporter , commences with the following lines : — " The greatest on earth has departed : The Moses of Ireland is dead I " . Since last year , -says the Oxford Chronicle , flour has doubled in price , and labourers' wages have advanced one shilling . A North American traveller describes a nocturnal insect peculiar to the Prairies , as originating in a cross between the bull-dog and a house fly . The following was lately exhibited in a collar window of this town : — " Anew Skool . held , hear every nite , but Sunde nite , tuppuns a weke , them as Iems manners tuppuns moar . "—Preston Chronicle .

      The editor of the . Mm Fork Despatch thinks that no persunscanlook so supremely , utterly , and hopelessly simple , as . two lovers caught in the poetical act of kissing . They look , he says , like detected sheep-stealers . Seamen generally leave a portion of .. their wages to be drawn by their wives . Ono woman , * ays the Hampshire ¦ Independent , went so often to draw her husband's wages , that suspicion was awakened , and she was found to be tbewife . of five sailors !

      ] We have much pleasure in transferring fa > oar colirmns . the following able and excellent article by ' he Editor of The Nottingham Review : '— '

      THE DOC . TR 1 KB OV lNTERVENTlOS . Ws presume Lord Palmerslon is at lust satisfied , for tbe clash of arms is once more heard—tho " met « or-fl « g ofwaris hoisted , ana Britain practically pledged to tlis suppression of liberty , and tho vfodAcavton of a despot . His warlike predilections are therefore likely . to be gratified for a while , his morbid taste for contest will be pampered;—he has meddled , and fretted , and provoked to some purpose . Driven by tbe spirit of the ago from a more ivavsr arena , his restless genius has taken refuys in the Tioui ; and there he seems likely to luxuriate in a little ef that bloody work which his btatbbuar soul lorctb , though Britain is thereby thrust into . a position most ignominious ,. ; and while Vr Foreign Secretary dances , shemust pay the piper . We say Lord

      Palmerston ii doubtleis satisfied , but is England , la justice , is liberty , satisfied also ? iVill England applaud tbe yet further draining of her coffers , to gratify , the , whim , to carry out the policy , and pamper the weak-minded pug . nucity of antiquated diplomatists ? Will justice be served . by a crusade against the men who hare manfully revolted against a despotism , to submit to which were to play the part of BASTiani J And as to freedom , has it not been mangled enough already by the world ' s allied tyrannies , without being y « t futthcr trampled on by tb « hireling bullies , who now move forward , as so-cslled heroes , under the bandit flag of intervention t And what , wo would ask , is this intervention ; about which Whigs in office are now babbling so emptily , which has startled the peace-loving ears of the age with its demon notes of preparation , and been allowed to constitute a pretext for an expenditure of the national resources in tbe old , and , W 6 had hoped , bankrupt trade of bloodsheddiug ! Intervention is nothing more than an armed interference with

      the affairs of other nations , under the cover of arbitrary treaties ruada between certain powers . It is meddling , sword in band , with business with which we can justly have no concern . It is waging an aggressive war against some country , which may dure , in its own vindication , to violate some of the leaden rules of diplomacy , and enforcing its submission , at the cannon ' s mouth , of a despotic combination of forces , against which resistance were vain btcause fruitless . In ferret tiou is nothing wore than a specious name given to any unrighteous and despotic crusade , in which stbong nations may choose to engage , for the purpose ef repressing the rising spirit of freedom , and checking the progress of the great principle of democracy ,. It is a worn-out watchword of an okikmgutbhed conservatism . It is a figment of the all but discarded thing called aggressive war , and , if affirmed as a principle , mutt ' effectually prevent the internal development of cations , and guarantee the stability even of the most despotic thrones . , . '

      We would ask thertfs . it not high .. time that 'England repudiated a principle so hostile to the spirit which now animates her masses , and refused to defile her sword by ieln company with the agencies of despotism , and wirlding it for Ihe slaughter of the rising genius of freedom 1 ( lave not the days , gone by when , such twaddle as was recently talked by the Premier could excite aught else than' disgust 1 In fine , are the people of England willing to be taxed to carry on the out-of-dato policy of an outof date Foreign Secretary ; or to become the patient and willing abettors . of the tyrannical designs of the crowned trickster of France , or the imbecile cabinet . of Spain ? We have no doubt in our minds as to the ' answer which Enfiland wilt return to these . questions rr an answer wfefeh will we trust be thundered in the ears of tbe

      members of the war party , when they make their appearance on the hustings at tbe next general election . However successfully Lord Palmerstoh may defend himself and his policy in the ptinoiilfo-ridd * e » Commons , or the ontigntty-lovtHfl Lords , he cannot , we aro assured , appease the popular indignation which his warlike dabbling has excited;—he cannot persuade the English people that it was either just or necessary to plunge them into tbs vortex of . warlike intervention , for the purpose ef coercing Portugal into submission to a , despotic VTngo , against whose tyranny she is now in arms ; he cannot invoke their respect for arbitrary treaties , to which they were hot consenting parties , which are violated , or abided by , as may best suit the policy of rulers ; and which can only become venerable by becoming accordant with the

      spirit of nations , and the convictions of the age ; and hence , in spite of all the quibbling and special pleading in which his lordship may indulge , he to all intents and purposes stands convicted of a compromise of peace—a sacrifice of the nation ' s wealth , and a violation o { its wishes , for the sake of observing it mere punctilio of diplomacy , and conserving the title of , a despot to a crown degraded , and a power abused . Every well-wisher to the cause of national progress andfreodom is called upon to examine the real nature and tendency , of the thing known as intervention , for unlets it bo discarded and discountenanced by Britain , she must remain an aider and abettor , instead of a consistent antagonist of the varied tyrannies of the world . Let any man look into this question for himself , * nd he

      will find that this intervention is nothing more than a cunning devise of despotism , to prevent the tide of progress roiling on too fast . It holds over all nations a sort of moral turrorism , which hampers their endeavours to work out mora fully their idea of nationality , and to arm all sections with a healthy , virtuous , and well-directed power , Every step taken which is hostile to tho wishes of some jealous rival , may bring down upon them the thunders of aggressive warfare ; and their contemplated revolution for the better may be quenched at the onset in blood . Admit the principle of interrention , and you in point of fact admit the justice of a nation , or clique of nations , commencing an aggressive war on some rival , whose policy and objects may be hostile to their prejudices and ambition , —and are pledged to the infamy of drawing the sword to drive back freedom—of

      subjutrating states by the power of hireling armies—of resisting the tide of improvement by the erection of ft barrier of mere physical force . Why at this very moment Prussia is hampered by a fear of Russian intervention . Spain ' s Queen is menaced and enslaved by Prance . The shadow of Austria ^ falls with a deadening influence on the spirit of down-trodden Italy ; and the ghost of Poland stalks through Europe ,, to proclaim the achievements of intervention . Yes , the slavery of this principle is felt through the wide world of civilization . The iron of this foul instrument of tyranny is fast entering into the soul of nations ; nad never , never can Freedom advance with its wonted power and majesty , until this principle is discarded , and empires left to pursue their own career of interminable improvement , without the menace of jealous and rival powers to startle and retard them on their

      way . We call , then , on every true friend of freedom to repudiate this remnant of a more barbarous past , and aid In driving it from the council-chambers of statesmen . We call upon the free , the liberal , the advanced minds if England—who are placed , alike by their spirit and their sentiments , at the head of the hourly augmenting forces of improvement , to declare that no longer shall Britain rerilain . the abettor of the policy arid designs of the dbspot , or be allowed to fling one' barrier in the way of that national-progress , which is necessary to tbe moral health , the happiness , and the dignity of communities .

      It Requires No Comments Of Ours To Expos...

      It requires no comments of ours to expose the flimsy excuses put forth by Lord John Russell , Mr Macaulay , ind the other apologists for Interfering between the Queen of Portugal and her dissatisfied subjects . If the practice of foreign intervention is admitted as justifiable in the case of Portugal , then it is equally justifiable when the people ' of any other nation we ore in alliance with attempt at any time to vindicate their right to selfgovernment , and take strong . measures for reforming theabnses of their governors . The corrylng of Catholic emancipation was only effected by popular intimidation . The passing Ofthe Kefoirn Act was notoriously a case where the King and the nobles of this country were compelled against their will to submit , under threats of

      physical violence—as the Queen of Portugal would have been , had it not been for the interference of the British fleet , at Oporto ; and , consequently , the Emperor of Russia , or any other despot on the Continent , would have been quite as much justified to interfere and suppress tbe accomplishment ofthe popular wish hero , either on these occasions or on the repeal of the Corn Laws , as the ministry of the day have felt themselves free to suppress the ^ popular i desire in Portugal . This foreign intervention , it should be borne in mind by those amongst us who support it on this occasion , applies in two ways ; and if we are to-day allowed to put down liberty abroad , foreigners , who choose to take the same trouble , are thereby afforded an equal pretext for interfering to put down liberty at home . —Renfrewshire Rtformtr .
