A Brief Inquiry Into The Natural Rights ...
* ~ r the ox ; neither has it a tight to take it away unless fop a good and T f-lTlt tensor-, and then only by awarding adequate compensation . The same flifl eieigieie ^ - ^ every other le gitimate description of property . All such in /? m- ? m"te descrip tions of property are made or acquired by the owners the m-; f ? f ! T and not by the law . The law only protects such property ; it does not , ' „ or mate it . But this does not apply to the National Debt ?* Comd sucii ew te eate of propertr ^ the three per cents , exist otherwise than by law 1 Assu-5 Sr St not . I tis the law ' and the fair onl 7 » that could call such property into it -Lice . » « * t 0 exclaira » " 0 h » P ublic creditor lent his money to the * ^ vernui ' ent , and he has , therefore , a right to principal and interest at the ex-^ ^ a «•!_ # _' * _ .. ! il . /_ M HOC .

» ' seTse of t ,, e P uby , c" The answer 1 S - ' no G ° vernment has , or ever could have ; mnS . . ust r ight to mortgage the labour of people for the payment of debts con-* te \ led by them , which they derived no benefit from , and which they have no ' * f JL to meet . The law does not make a man pay his father ' s debts , if the father < lj left him no asset * . Neither should it make him pay die debts borrowed by a oweiovernment for the protection of property in which he had no share . If the v-nerfjiers of realised property chose to contvact tiaWVities of that sort , they ought , j n o one nesty . to discharge them out of their property . But to make men without any ' « ' aetLsete beyond the fruits of their daily toil , responsible for such debts , is
spoliation i 0 R 0 n the face of it . The poor man , as well as the rich man , ought to pay his i uotjuota of taxation for necessary government expe nses , because the government is a naduade for the protection of all ; but to make him pay interest on debts contracted : < : * '&»' other people for the protection of their property , is sheer robbery . Every nn ' enn ' enny extracted from him in that way is plunder . The law is the thief , and , the f funfuwibolde r but a leceiver of stolen goods at his expense . The fundholrler , if he bbasfaas an ? * aim ataH l CAn iiave ^ only ^ tf , e owner of realised property , upon . ffhfffhose estates , as lord Brougham tells us , the debt is hi the nature of a bond fide
jjnojnorf gage . let them , therefore , and them ouly . be saddled with the payment . AnAny other way of meeting the liability is only robbing one class of men to make i nrtnro perty for another class . Indeed , in a well-constituted state , public debts - vowoald not be suffered to exist at all ; for , after all , the funding system , like our ] latlanded system , is only a contrivance for enabling idle knaves to grow rich and fat on on the labours of others , to whom they yield ho equivalent . "FiTfiB hiFC and Adventtjbes of BfiNJAMiN Embleton . Newcastle- upon-Tyne : T . Dodds . No . 2 of this Autobiography , just issued , narrates how the hero
cicame to suffer seizure by the press gang ; how he was promoted to li lhe rank of quarter-gunner , captain of the forecastle , and subsec quenily quarter-master . On one occasion , returning from a cruise c off the coast of Norway , and driven into Shields by stress of weaj ther , he was enabled to send for his wife , who came with forty \ friends to see him . In spite of promotion and prize-money , Benjamin could not resist the temptation to make his escape , although at the cost of leaving behind him 195 / . prize-money , fourteen months' wages , & c , & c . Benjamin again took to the pit ; and it was not long before he became famous as a defender of the rights of the miners ; He also acquired some celebrity as a local preacher ,
and on again taking to the sea was m request as a manners .-minister . In 1819 he attended the famous Radical Meeting on the Newcastle Town Moor . He subsequently made voyages to St . Petersburg !! , and to a Prussian port . He again returned to the coal-mining , and this number concludes with an account of the struggle between the coal-pit owners and workers in 1830-31 . The " Pibst Report op the Society fob Promoting Working Men ' s Associations . London : G . Lumley , Southampton-street , High Holborn .
This pamphlet narrates the labours and progress of a society of earnest , truthful , noble-hearted men , who , for some three or four years past , have been devoting time , money , and much of anxious effort to advance the great and good work of industrial association . Jt also contains an official and well digested report of the proceedings of the co-operative conference , held in London in July last ; and in addition thereto , much valuable information as to the present state' of co-operative bodies in various parts of the ., country . The reader will find a lengthy extract from this pamphlet in another column . The Home . Part XV . Edited by Richard Oastler , \ ork-street , Catherine-street . London .
This publication we are proud to recognise as an unswerving advocate of the rights of labour . Its conscientious , warm-hearted editor is well-known as the staunch champion of the Ten Hours Act ; and although we have but little sympathy with his respect ior " ourbeloved constitution , " we heartily subscribe to his opposition to the » lpt alone" philosophy of the professors of political economy , or unlimited competition . We find in this part a series of letters addressed to the iron trades on lhe late « strike of the employers aeainst the Amalgamated Society . These letters ^ contain many just and wise reflections well worthy the careful consideration of alt working men . ______________

Sadleks Welj.S. Shakespeare's Henry The ...
SADLEKS WELJ . S . Shakespeare ' s Henry the Fifth , performed at Sadler ^ Weils on Monday nUt , is not indebted for its revival entirely to Mr . Phelps ; for it 4 s produced by Mr . Macready , who made it a most gorgeous military . spectacle ; and indeed ifc was only by the appliances of decoration Ld [ show that such a piece could be made a fr all at tractive . The noble , chivalrous character of the King was well suited to Macreadv ' s 2 i » There are bursts of magnificent poetry which even ueao . } s genm .. ovrtaii „ i . } mt thev are entirely conhas scarcel excelled but they are en irely
con-ShaWe himself y ; fined to the character of the King , scarcely a remarkable hue being tittered by any other personages , excepting in the comic scenes , wheie th reIreCtouclJof Shakspearean Immour , Ana \ indeed tw « three of the comic marts-Ancient Pistol , Fluellen , and Mrs ^ 4 Ze Zo % ones , besides the Xing hto e * - » actor of superior talent would submit to pertai . Mr . Phelps ^ endeavoured to make the play attractive by the same »^ ljg ^ Mr . Macready . He made it a brilliant spectacle , crowding t tge with croups of princes , nobles , and soldiers , armyed with critical accural in the costumes of the time . The storming oJ ^ r and the tight of Agincourt were managed intheir scenic details mto excellent skill ; and the royal pageant at the court of Prance which terminated the piece , was coupdmlof surpassing magmheence Mr . PhelpVperformance of the Kingwas ext remely . ™» edft _ He looked right royal «* ^ g h ^ e and * br 0 U § ht J X S £ % onen frank manly temper of the warlike monarch . Of theothei ZSS ^ S eau be said , * 1 *™ W «*^* do which could enable them , in any way to distinguish ihemse ve . Of the comic characters Mr . Pall ' s Captain Fludhn was the bet
Mr . G , Bennett ' s Pistol was good m part ,, lhe « scene n which Mrs . QuicJdy appears was well performed by Mrs . H . Mai--ta * her description of " the poor fat bught ' s death was genuine comedy , lhe play was well received . Mr . Phelps was greatly applauded in his principal scenes ; and much applause was likewise bestowed upon the splendid decorations and striking scenic effects .
OL YMPIC . Sarah la Creole , a drama by MM ., A . Descourcelles and Jaimes , brought out at the Ambigu Comique last March , had been very skilfully adapted into English by Mr . Morns Barnett , whose ^ version was on Wednesday evening produced at the Olympic Theatre with decided success .
Sadleks Welj.S. Shakespeare's Henry The ...
MARYLBBONE . Don Eoderiek , an historical drama in three acts , is the title of a new piece which was procured at this theatre , the principal character bemg personated by the author , Mr . J . R , O'Neill . It went ott pretty well , and Mr . OWeill was called before the audience at the conclusion , and made his acknowledgments . Mrs . Lingham plaved JUeota with effect , and Mr . Francis was also amusing as Sancho . lhe "Irish Tutor" followed , in which Mr . Malone made his first appearance as Terry VRourke .
THE MARIONETTE S /< The Carpet Bag and Sketch-Book" is the title of a new entertainment , produced at the Marionettes' Theatre , Adelaide-street , Strand . It is somewhat in the-monopologue siyle of Mathew ' s celebrated " Evenings at Home , " the representative of the various chaacterS > introduced being Mr . W . S . Woodin , who exhibits very great versatility of talent and flexibility of voice and feature in his impersonations of the various individuals presented . The illustrations are aided by some cleverly painted pictures from Mr . Woodin ' s
Sketch-Book , and diversified by singing in chciracfcer and costume . We are introduced to a London maid-of-all-. vork , narrating in most amusing style her embarrassments in being caught . entertaining a follower , We have the " gent" about town , who knows everything and everybody , laughing heartily at his own jokes , which he never tells , and relating most amusing stories which he never finishes . Then there is the crusty old traveller and the fine old English gentleman , the old Greenwich pensioner , and an operatic illustraiion , in character , of the
wet and final shilling day at the Crystal-palace . In the second part Mr . Woodin gives us very clever representations of Scotsmen , Yankees , the pleasures of a picnic party , wifclfthe finale ot the lions of London . It is impossible to deny to Mr . Woodin the possession of extraordinary powers of adaptation and imitation , but "he attempts to crowd too much , into a single entertainment , and a'judicious curtailment of his introductions and songs would make the whole pass over much more pleasantly and agreeably . With this amendment Mr . Woodin's soirees will become as popular as they are clever and
amusing . The National and Vernon Gaileries . —The latter , at Marlborougli-house , Pall-mall , which has been closed . to the public for the last six weeks , is re-opened , and may be visited on the first four days of every week , between the hours of 10 and 5 . The Gallery of Practical Art , at Marlborough-house is , in addition to the Vernon collection , free to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays . Mr . Btjnn ' s Literary and Dramatic Entertainment . —
This celebrated theatrical manager made his first appearance iri New York , on the 11 th of October , at Niblo ' s Saloon , before a highly respectable audience . The entertainment consisted of an olla podrida of historical sketches of the stage from the earliest times , reminiscences of distinguished actors , dramatic anecdotes , recitations of choice passages , and critical remarks . A large portion of . the performance was of course devoted to Shakspeare , whose genius was
commented on with enthusiastic appreciation . The historical and critical details presented by the .. speaker were so blended with lively anecdotes , excellent touches of humour , and varied recitations , as to prevent all sense of tediousness and to keep up the interest of the audience to the close of the evening . Mr . Bunn in personal appearawcfc , is a genuine specimen of a hold ,.. jluff Englishman—rhe shows that in all that relates to the drama he is "to the manner born "—
his familiarity with the stage for * a long space of time has stored Ins memory with a fund of traditional wit and anecdote—no'man excels him in telling a story—his style is a model of clean , finished , and effective elocution , —his words dropping bright and neatly-coined from his lips—and though claiming no eminence in the dramatic art , is well qualified for the ro . e he has undertaken . On the wliole , his performance was successful , though some of his attempted hits deservedly fell dead on the audience—especially the abortive pleasantry of
illustrating the renown of Shakspeare , by alluding to the monaymaking talent by which he was enabled to erect a splendid mansion in place of his native cottage . According to the emphatic showing of Mr . Bunn , this fact filled the measure of Shakspeare glory . ^ At the close of the first part of the entertainment , several pictorial illustrations of different scenes in Shakspeare's life were introduced with admirable effect , and greatly to the satisfaction of the audience . Mr . Bunn has evidently made a favorable impression by his performance , and we have no doubt will have a prosperous career in this country . — New York Tribune .
Abd-El-Kader's Intended Place Of Detenti...
ABD-EL-KADER'S INTENDED PLACE OF DETENTION . The town of Broussa , ( or Bursa , as it is also spelt ) , which has been selected as the scene of Abd-el-Kader's future detention , is one of the most prosperous in the Turkish dominions . It is situated hvthe pachalik of Natolia , at the base of the Olympus , whose peak rises into the regions of perpetual snow . It is about twenty . two leagues irom Constantinople , and the same distance from Kutahieh , famous as the place of intemement of another hero in misfortune—Louis Kossuth .
Broussa was once the residence of the King of Bithynia . In the middle ages , until the falling of Adrianople , it was the capital ot the Ottoman Empire . It is now the seat of the Mollah of the first-class , a Pacha , a Greek metropolitan , and an Armenian bishop . The population of the town was estimated at 100 , 000 , which is probably within 30 , 000 of the truth . It has extensive suburbs , is provided with rarnparis , and commanded by a fortress of great antiquity ,
adorned with Roman sculptures . The chief buildings are its mosques % nd caravanseries . The peo ple derive their subsistence irom commerce and manufactures , in which the artisans are very expert . The satins and tapestry are the most esteemed of its fabrics , among which gauzes , taffetas , and cotton ! are to be mentioned . The trade with the interior is facilitated by the caiavans which pass through Broussa , in the line between Smyrna aiid other Asiatic towns ; the trade by sea is carried on by the shallow port of Moudama , on the Gulf of Marmora . The clay called meerschaum is obtained Irom a mountain close by Broussa .

— L- Penalty of Pkocrastination . — " Waiter , I ll take my hat , " S ag 8 nt J eman at a P Y one evening , as he was going home . " What kind of a hat did you wear ? " "A bran-new hat , that I paid a guinea for this morning . " "Well , sir , " said the waiter , " all the good hats have been gone more than two hours . " Handsome Men . —If you are ever vhveatened with a handsome
man in the tamily , just take a clothes pounder , while he is yet in the bud , and batter his head to pumice . From some causes or other handsome men are invariably asses ; they cultivate their hair and complexion so much , that they have no time to think of their brains . By the time they reach thirty their heads and hands are equally soft . Again , we say , if you wish to find an intelligent man , just look for one with features so rough that you might use his face for a nutmeg grater .
Frenchman s English . —The keeper of a restaurant , not far from the Boulevards , has had his bill of fare translated into English .-The words Les Cab ' mets se servent « la carte are rendered " The withdrawing-rooms . are served up after the bill . '' " Sir , " said a little blustering man to his religious opponent , " 1 say , Sir , to what sect do you belong ? " " Well , I don ' t exactly know , " replied the other ; " but to judge from your make , size , audi appearance , I should say you belonged to a class called the insect . " A Soldier ' s Retort . —As the King of Prussia was passing im review several regiments near Potsdam , he observed a soldier who had a large scar over his face . Finding he was a 'Frenchman ,. Frederick asked him in his native language , " In what ale-house did ' you get wounded ? '' The soldier smartly replied , " In that where ; your Majesty paid the reckoning . "
JOSEPHINE , We did not meet in courtly hall , Where Birth and Beauty throng , Where Luxury holds festival , And wit awakes the song ; We met where dar . _ er spirits meet , In the home of Sin and Shame , Where Satan shows his cloven feet , And hides his titled name ; And she knew she could not be , Love , What once she might have been , But she was kind to me , Love , My pretty Josephine .
We did not part beneath the sky ,, As warmer lovers part , Where night conceals the glisJen / cg- eye , But not the throbbing lieait We parted on the spot of gtioundl Where we first had laughed ! art love , And ever the jests were toudi around , And the lamps wer < _ -bright above : " The heaven is very dftrlE / love , The blast is very Iteeii ^ But merrily rides my bark , Love—Good night , my Jiosephinet "
She did not speak of ring or vow ,. But filled the cup of wine , And took the rcses from her bro .. r To make a wreath for mine ; And hade me , when the gale should lift My light skiff on the wave , To think as little of the gift As of the hand that gave ; " Go gaily o ' er , the sea , Love , And find your own heart ' s queen ; And look not back \ o me , Love , Your humble Josephine !"
That garland breathes and blooms no more , Past are those idle hours ; I would not , could I choose , restore The fondness or the flowers ; Yet oft thuir withered witchery Eevives its wonted thrill , Remembered—not with Passion ' s sigh ,. But oh ! remembered still : And even from your side , Love , And even from this scene , One look is o ' er the side , Love , One thought with Josephine !
Alas ! your lips are rosier , Your eyes of softer blue , And I have never felt for her-As I have felt for you : Our love was like the sn- jv- ffaTce ^ Whieh melt before yo . u pass—Or the bubble on the w / iue , which breaks Before you lip the . gjaas . You saw these eye- \\ ik wet , Love , Which she has ne * ec seen ; But bid me not fo sget , Love My poor Josephine ! : —Maclfcorlh Praed
