The Curse Removed; A Letter To The Manuf...
The Curse Removed ; a Letter to the Manufact u r e rs of Mancheste r o n th e S t ate an d Prospects of England . London : Effing ham Wilson . Coming Events ; aa Address to the Working Classes of England . London : George Tickers . These two -works are by the same author ; the latter is , indeed , a sequel to the former . They are evidently "Hie production of a man of earnest sou ] , whose sympathies are with the ffl'Tequited Ming classes of this country . Thathe has thought much upon his subject , and has a clear idea ofthe causes which nave
prodnced the misery everywhere around us , may he gathered from the following passage in The Curse Removed . — 2 for is it to be believed that the productions of this mi g hty power were ever intended to sustain an extravagant aristocracy and a spendthrift government , whilst rioting in luxury in the midst of an overwrought and a pauperised people . Certainly some higher and nobler purpose was designed by it . There must be connected with it a higher problem , worthy of being wrought ont by the great minds of the country . Let a right direction be given to this power of production . Let the capitalists employ the means thus pnt into their
hands forthe elevation of _thepsopie _, and , as we Bhair afterwards see , they ww secure themselves against evils , wMclr are as yet scarcely apprehended . The present state of the trade of this country , proves that onr manufactories , -with all their production , are not able to provide employment for the working population . Every one perceives that there is not employment sufficient for them all , nor do the wages given afford comfortable subsiste n ce f or t h os e w h o are em ployed . Our immense productive power equal to the labour of six hundred millions of people is not sufficient to sustain a population short of thirty millions . This again proves , that a gift so precious and designed by thc
great Knler ofthe universe , to ameliorate the condition of labour , to augment the comfort and promote ( he intelligence and happiness of the human familythe poor as well as the rich—has been hitherto misapplied . It is the very nature of the existing system to increase the wealth of the rich , and to make those who are poor still poorer , as well as to augment the number of the latter . Thus , it may be reasonably expected , that pauperism will continue to grow . It is ihe natural tendency of the funding system , and would long ago have upset the Government of England , bnt for a particular circumstance which we shall presently have occasion to notice .
In the pages before us , the author enters upon a wide field of inquiry . We find chapters ou War , Commerce , Emigration , the National Debt , and the Labour Question . In lis views of Commerce we entirely concur . We have often had occasion to show the evils to which we are rendered liable by our reliance on foreign markets for the consumption of the commodities we fabricate and sell . Oar author contends , and , to unprejudiced mmds the thing will carry an obvious conviction , that reciprocity most be the basis of our foreign trade—that imports and exports must be equivalent and commensurate -with each otheror , if either largely preponderate , gluts
, and fluctuati o ns will ine vit a bl y succeed as consequences follow causes . He asks : — How can our power of consumption grow with a starving population ? What hope is there ofan extended trade with a daily augmenting pauperism ? Can you employ all the people , or can you afford them snch wages as to make them good consumers of foreign productions ? "No , you cannot . Till , however , you can do all this , farewell to a prosperous and wholesome state of things . Whatever neglect or indifference has been manifested to the labourer in the past , must be compensated to him in the future . A new order of things must he established , in which the labourer shall be recognised as a man in full possession of all his ri ghts .
The author ofthe Curse Removed is a Radical of the conservative stamp . He is none of your wild and Vandal repudiatonists . The National Debt is admittedl y an enormous and gigantic wrong ; in his opinion it is the modern curse under which the nation labours , yet he would not repudiate it—he would have it paid — he ., equitably paid . In reply to the question , " What shall be done with the National Debt ? " he says : — To this question only one reply can be giren , and that is—pat it . This can he done now with greater facility than at any previous period since the -war with France was concluded , and erery year it
remains unpaid the difficulty of paying it will increase _, in fact , if not done soon , it never can be done peaceably—therefore pay it . It is right the holders of stock should be informed that the nation will never pay £ 100 for £ 60 or £ 70 which they received a few years ago , of which the interest has been regularly paid . Our proposal is to lay a tax of seven and a half per cent , on the capital debt ofthe nation , whether funded or unfunded , and to limit the capital on which the charge should be made to £ 80 for every £ 100 of the 3 per _cent 3 ., £ 85 on the 3 J and 31 per cents ., and £ 100 2 ? ¦ _* ¥ _, Per cents ., or , in other words , to pay the whole debt at 71 per centbelow the prices here
, fixed . r He next proceeds to point out the resources we have at our disposal for the purpose of
The Curse Removed; A Letter To The Manuf...
discharging this enormous burden of taxation . We cannot , ho wever altogether go with him in h i s views , but must , nevertheless , admit , he brings to bear upon the questions opened up in his little work a vast amount of research . In the second pamphlet , which is addressed more particularly to the working men of England , the writer tells us he was a corn law repealer , aud still holds to the s ame f a i t h ; bu t the gentlemen of Manchester , to whom his first work is addressed , will be very unthankful for the following passage in the latter work . We entreat our readers' attentive perusal of it . He asks , has the repeal of the Corn Laws _•*• _ -1 _ 1 _~» m _4-ltia _nnAitmAim l _. _. _*] _/•¦
effected the object its promoters intended ? And thus replies to his own question : — If we are right in the conclusion that thoir great , their chief object was to increase tho demand for the produce oftheir machines , there can be no hesitation respecting the reply to be given to the question . It has not effected the object the manufacturers intended—tbey must soon experience & disappointment not very easy to be borne . They may be still bugging themselves in the expectation that their highly-excited hope 3 will be fully realised ; but it is impossible . If they were not under the influence of a strong prejudice , they could not resist tbe evidence now presented to their minds
that the repeal of these corn laws , so far as it has g one , has done all for them it can do . In its very nature it was onl y fitted to reduce the price of human food , and this it ha 3 effected to its present full extent . There can be no doubt , that they also calculated on a reduction of the wages of labour , as a natural consequence arising out of the ability of the labourer to live upon less money . The repeal ofthe Ten Hours Bill is a proof that they are looking forward to some future pressure on the labourer . Iu this they are right , and it cannot be far distant . Notwithstanding the animation in some of tbe manufacturing districts , the dark shadow ofthe foturo is beginning to spread itself over the couutry .
By looking narrowly into the state of consumption of various articles , it may be clearly seen that there is little real additional prosperity , and that the loudly talked of diminution of the number of paupers , is only in comparison with the years of scarcity , and arises chiefly , if not exclusively , from the reduction in the price of food , and not from an increased demand for labour . The gentlemen in Mincing-lane are surprised , and cannot comprehend the cause of the diminished consumption of sugar , It is true the diminution of consumption in this direction may be accounted for by supposing that the pressure bas reached a grade of the community somewhat above the labourer : and the fact that
upwards of eighty master bakers were recently , at the same time , taking the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' * Act , seems to confirm this notion ; but then the gentlemen in Mark-lane are in the same dilemma . They have discovered that there is a very great diminution in the consumption of bread and flour , especially in those districts of London in in which bread was largely consumed before . How is this to be accounted for ? The idea naturally occurred to us , that this could only arise out of the cheapness ofthe bread , g iving them the power to consume a greater quantity of animal food ; but , on making inquiry in this direction , we discovered that
instead of an increase in the consumption of animal food , there was a decrease here also . Such are the reports made to us respecting London , and we know of no reason for men stating anything but truth . Besides , on looking into the returns made to Parliament for the three first months ofthe present year , and comparing them with the three first months ofthe previous year , we find the consumption of cocoa reduced from 922 . 0001 bs . to 724 , 000 _ibs . Coffee , from 9 , 3 SS , 0001 bs . to 7 , 465 , 0001 bB . Tallow imported , from 313 , 003 cwts . to 19-i . OOO _cwts . ; and this diminished consumption of tallow coincident with a considerable export of candles and soap out of the materials entered for home consumption .
There is less reason for extracting from the pamphlet now" _* _* befbre us , as i ts pr ic e p laceB it -within the reach of almost everybody ; but a few remarks in his opening observations are so goo d and health y , that we are tempted to transfer them to our columns : — In questions connected with sooial pro g ress t he political economist will not overlook the aspirations of men of genius and imagination . Their power of fancy and depth of perception frequently points to an end which reason finds it difficult to reach . Many
of them have sung of the " good time _coming-in such a way as to inspire us with hope in tho darkest hour . Some have gone farther , calling upon US tfl remember "the days of darkness , for they shall be many , " and reminding us tbat it is only " through much tribulation we can enter the kingdom , " or , in ot h er wor d s , strongly impressing our mind with tbe fact , that it is only through toil and effort and suffering that the affairs of society can be placed on a basis fitted to produce abundance , peace , and comfort to all .
Our author is a politician of the Chartist school , and -warml y vindicates the political rights of the working classes . In this address he frequently refers to the Chartist body in terms of iust and merited approbation . We take leave of these work s , therefore , with a hig h re sp ect f o r t h e min d whi c h brought them forth , aud strongl y recommend them to our readers . They are exceedingly well written , are replete with facts of weightiest importance , and , altogether , are essentially useful and instructive in their character and tendencies ,
The Fourth Estate: Contributions Towards...
The Fourth Estate : Contributions towards a History of Newspapers , and of the Liberty o f the Press . By JF . K . Hum . London : Bogne . Mr . _T _3 . VNT has here contributed some valuable materials towards a complete history of at least tbe English newspaper . He has collected from printed sources a large amount of information respecting the earliest English " news-books , " as tne newspapers were at first called ; has had access to manuscript documents respecting the expenses and profits of journalism in the days of Jnnius ' s Woo d fall ; and contributes much that is curious , from conversat io n s a n d p rofessional experience , of the machinery , expen se s , and returns of the d a il y newspapers of our own time .
Interspersed with these materials are a nnmber of remarks illustrative of , or associ a ted witb , newspaper literature ; accounts of the early and harsh censorships of the press ; a sketch ofthe struggle on the part of the newsp a p e rs b y which the right to report the proceedings in parliament was de facto established ; notices illustrative of the successive judicial decisions by which onr law ef libel has been bronght into its present form ; and anecdo tes o f men o f hi gh literary repute who have occasionally or permanently been associated with the press _.
"With the sufferings of the Puritans , who were the first to turn a pe r io d ic a l o r quasiperiodical press to much account , the reading pnblic is pretty familiar ; b u t the s a vage spirit with which newspapers were soug ht t o be suppressed between the eras of the Restoration and the Revolution of 1688 is probably under-estimated . The following account of the manner in which an obnoxious journalist was dealt with in the days of Popish and meal-tub plots may make their successors of the eig hteenth century th an kful for the change that has come over the minds of men .
Under the new law enforcing the censorship , L'Estrange , the journalist , became the chief executive officer ; and , judging by facts that are on record , a scholar and a man of proper _feelhigs must often have blushed for his new occupation . The Star Chamber was gone beyond revival , and the Old Bailey became the court where sinners against the press laws were arraigned . The new statute soon captured a few victims , and a Tyburn audience was assembled to witness the execution of a trou-On _' an _October night in 1 G 63 , the Licenser L'Estranffe . having received secret information , set out on a search for illegal publications . He had with him a party-ofassistantswhich ? ncMed four
per-. , sons , named Dickinson , Mabb , Wickham and Story These men were called up after midnight , and made their way by L ' Est _range ' s directions to Cloth Fair . This had been Milton's hiding-place , when he had " fall ' n on evil days ; " and here now lived another heterodox thinker : a printer named John Twyn , whose press bad been betrayed to the authorities as one whence illegal thoug hts were spread . "When called on afterwards to give evidence as to what happened , Wickham described how he met Mr . fEstranee near Twvn ' s house . and how" they
, ¦ _cocked at least half an hour before they got in ; and how they listened , and " heard some papers tumbling down , and heard a rattling above , before they went up . " The door- being opened by its unfortunate owner , Wickbam was posted at the back door , whilst another stood in front , and the rest of the searchers went over the premises . Efforts had been made to destroy the offending sheets ; the type had been broken up , and a portion of the publications had been cast into the next house . Enough , h owev e r , was found to support a charge . Twyn ' s apprentice was put into the witness box to
The Fourth Estate: Contributions Towards...
give evidence against his master , and the judges were ready to coincide with Mr . Serjeant Morton , who appeared for the crown , and declared Twyn ' s offence to be treason . The obnoxious book repeated the arguments often urged during the Commonwealth , " that the execution of judgment and justice is as well the people ' s as the magistrate ' s duty ; and , if the magistrates pervert judgment , the people are bound by the law of God to _. execute judgment without them , and upon them . " In _hisdefeiice _, Twyn said , he had certainly printed the sheets ; ho " thought it was mettlesome stuff , but ; knew no hurt in it ; " that the copy had been brought him by one Calvert ' B maid-servant , and that he got forty shillings by printing it . Ho pleaded , moreover , in excuse , that he was poor , and had a family dependent on his labour for their bread . Such replies were vain , and the jury found him Guilty . - __ __•» _ . -. -
"I humbly beg mercy , " cried Twyn , when this terrible word was pronounced . "I humbly beg mercy ; I am a poor man , and have three small children ; I never read a word of it . " " I'll tell you what you shall do , " responded the Chief Justice Hyde , to whom this plea of clemency was addressed , " ask mercy of them that can give it : that is , of God and the "King . " "I humbly beseech you to intercede with his Majesty for mercy , " piteously exclaimed the condemned printer . " Tie him up , executioner , " was the only reply ; and Hyde proceeded to pronounce sentence . To read this sentence in the record of the trial makes
the blood run cold . "I speak it from my soul , " said this sycophant Chief Justice . "I think we have the greatest happiness in the world in enjoying what we do under so gracious and good a King ( this was spoken of Charles the Second , be it remembered ) ; " yet you , Twyn , in the rancour of your heart thus to abuse him , deserve no mercy J " After some further expressions of loyalty , and a declaration that it was high time an example should be made to deter those who would avow the killing of kings , he ordered that Twyn should be drawn upon a hurdle to the place of execution ; that he be hanged by the neck , and , being alive , that he should be cut down , and that his body be mutilated in a way which decency now forbids the very mention
of ; that his entrails should afterwards be taken out , " and you still living , the same to be burnt before your eyes ; your head to be cut off , and your head and quarters to be disposed of , at the pleasure of the King ' s Majesty . " " I humbly beseech your Lordship , " again cried Twyn in his agony , ** to remember my condition , and intercede for me . " " I would not intercede , " replied sanguinary Judge Hyde , in the cruelty of his heart , " for my own father in this case , if he were alive . " And the unhappy printer was led back into Newgate , only to leave it for Tyburn , where the sentence was soon afterwards carried out ; his head and the quarters of his body being set up to fester and to rot , " on Ludgate , Aldersgate , and the other gates of the City . "
Mr . Hunt prefaces this anecdote b y a very app os ite a nd imp o rt a nt gener a l remark , with which as the most important moral of a history of the newspaper , we conclude : —« "In the index to the statutes at large , under the heading *¦ Printers and the Printing Press , ' the reader is directed to ' see seditious societies . ' A fine comment this on the character of our law-makers . They do n o t legislate to hel p th e press in the goo d it might effect , bnt only make laws to cripple it when a government _"fiufa its interference inconvenient . "

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . During the past week Doctor Bachhoffner has been engaged in delivering a series of lectures on electricity , the experiments being rendered particularly grand and imposin g by the aid ofthe gigantic Hydro-Electric machine , which exhibits the various experiments on a most powerful and magnificent scale , this machine being the largest evermanufactured . Mr . Pepper has been delighting the visitors with his admirable lectures on chemistry , which are rendered doubly attractive by the popular and simple _# manner with whicb that gentleman treats his subject , as well as the brilliant experiments exhibited during his discourse . Mr . Barker still continues to charm his numerous auditor s , every evening , with his " Ballardsof England . "
Haymarket. On Monday Evening Mr. Macread...
HAYMARKET . On Monday evening Mr . Macready commenced his series of farewell performances before his final retirement from the stage . It will be remembered tbat Mr . Macready was to have completed his farewell engagement last season , but that the concluding portion of it was necessarily deferred inconsequence of the state of his health . This obstaole being now happily removed by his restoration to his wonted strength , these performances are now resumed , and are to proceed strictly in accordance witb the arrangements originally made , and will comprise all the leading characters which have been more particularly associated with his dramatic career . A crowded audience , comprising a host of individuals , distinguished in literature and art , was
assembled to welcome our great actor' on this occasion ; and when he . appeared they gave vent to their feelings in reiterated peals of applause . He looked as little as possible like a man on the eve of retiring from tbe stage . He had the aspect of health , his movements were active and buoyant , and wo have never seen him act with more fire and vigour . As to his representation of Macbeth , what can be said that has not been said a thousand times already ? It is , we have always thought , his master-piece , combining in a remarkable degree the inspirations of genius with the results of close study and deep reflection . It is the most finished work of art which the Eng lish stage has exhibited for many years and it may be many a year before it Bball exhibit such another . Mrs . Warner was
the Lady Macbeth . This excellent actress was received , after her long absence from the stage , in a manner due to her talents and character . She has _lostnothingof _hcrmajesticbeauty , and she sustained the character with her wonted power and grandeur . The parts of Macduff and Banquo were well performed by Mr , Davenport and Mr . Howe , * and the play as a whole was got up and acted in a very satisfactory manner .
Adelphi. A Farce Called Tlie School For ...
ADELPHI . A farce called Tlie School for Tigers was brought out on Monday with the most unequivocal success . It is a kind of High Life Below Stairs , adapted to modern times , although the action takes place , not in a kitchen , but at the back of a cigar-shop . Mr . Panels ( Mr . Wright ) , an ex-coachman , has not only opened business in the Havannah line , but devotes himself to tho instruction of "tigers " in the peculiar duties of their profession , and allows their studies to be enlivened by an occasional " shilling hop , " to which the maid servants of the neighbourhood are invited . The Tiger-class is regularly exhibited , and the answers given by the pupils have
all more or les 3 a satirical reference to the stato of society to which " tigers" owe their being . One of them ( Miss Woolgar ) , who has been advanced somewhat suddenly into tigerisra from the condition of an errand-boy , is quizzed by his companions for the rusticity of his manners ; but in the end he takes a , noble revenge by helping two of his persecutors out of a scrape in which tbey are involved on account of their masters being found guilty of forgery . This piece , which is by Mr . Mark Lemon , is very smartly written , and the academical scene is novel and striking . It has also the advantage of being acted to perfection in the principal characters . Mr . Wright , as the ex-coachman vividly bearing ia mind the fact that he has" druv "

The time is coming when they will take rank and order according to their value and intrinsic merits .
"Drunkenness . — " Pomp , was yer overdrunk ?"" No , I was intoxicated wid ardent spirits once , and dat ' s nuff for dis darkie . De Lord bless you , Caesar , my head felt as if it was an outhouse , wbile all de niggers in de world appeared to be splittia' wood in it . " Ix is easy , in the world , to live after ihe world ' s opinion . It is easy in solitude to live after our own . But the great man is he , who , in the midst of the crowd , keeps , with perfect sweetness , the independence of his character . —Emerson . _^ Aeronauts . —It is somewhat singular that the
names of nearly all the aeronauts that have of late years soared above us , commence with the letter G , viz . —the Greens , Graham , the late unfortunate Gale aud Gypson ; in years gone by there was also the celebrated Girardin . The Public—The New York Inquirer , referring to the expensive outlay which caterers for public amusement are often obliged to make , remarks that " The public is often managed like a dry pump , down which it is necessary to pour a gallon or two of water to draw from it the expected hogshead *"
A New Description op Food . — We le arn that a new description of food—the Dan—is being introduced into this country . It is a grain , or pulse , something between the lentil and Indian corn , and is described as excellently adapted for mixing with the lower descriptions of meal and flour , which it improves both in taste and colour . It has already been imported into Ireland . —Liverpool Standard . Gratitude . —A favourite magpie had been accustome d to receive d aint y bits from the mouth of his mistress . The other day it perched as usual on her shoulder , and inserted its beak between her lips ; not
as ifc proved , to receive , for , asone good turn deserves another , the grateful bird dropped an immense green fat caterpillar into the lady ' s _moulh ! A "Shaker . "—A city buck visited the Shakers at Lebanon some time since , and as he was wandering through the village , encountered a stout hearty _cpecimen of the sect , and thus accosted him ;—" Well , Broadbrim , are you much of a Shaker ? "" Nay , " said the other , " not overmuch , but I can do a little that way . " So he seized the astonished man by the collar and nearly shook him out of his boots . ¦ Z _ '
Fire Water . —" The liquor sold to the Indians , " says the Boston Journal , " is in truth , 'fire water . ' It would seem incredible , were . it not affirmed by one of the Indian agents of the Chippewa tribe , that corrosite sublimate , tobacco and water , with a few gallons only of whisky to each barrel , form the poisonous beverage which is sold to the Indians for whisky ! Who can wonder that the unfortunate aborigines are melting away before the gradual advance of civilisation ? " . _„ " A Flat . "— The Baron de Beranger relates , tbat having secured a pickpocket in the very act of irregular abstraction , he took the liberty of inquiring whether there was anything in his face that had
procured him the honour of being singled out for sucb an attempt . " Why , sir , " said the fellow , " your face is well enough , but you had on thin shoes and white stockings in dirty weather , and so I made sure you were a flat . " Ardour in Bktting . —Two g entlemen at a ta v ern having summoned a waiter , the . poor fellow had hardly entered when he fell down in a fit of apoplexy . He ' s dead ! " exclaimed one . " He'll come to ! " replied the other . " — "Dead , for five hundred !" " Done ! " retorted the second . —The noise and confusion which followed brought up the landlord , who Called out to fetch a doctor . "No ! no ! we must have no interference ; there ' s a bet depending . " ' * But , sir , I shall lose a valuable servant ! " "Never mind , you can put him down in the bill !"
Spade Husbandry . —We understand that the Rev . Mr ( Millar , of Ballymakenny , tried the profits ofthis mode of agricultural labour the last season , and that two acres were made to produce as much as five cultivated on the usual plan . The rev . gentleman will employ spade labour only this next season , having profited both himself and others by the experiment . We hope many will imitate the example , and that every able-bodied pauper will be drafted from the _poorhouse to the fields , to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow . —Drogheda Paper , A Queer Bird . —An Irishman , who , among other sins of ignorance that he was guilty of , had never seen an egg , having stumbled one day upon a hen ' s nest in the . busb . es , in which there was a warm , fresh , newly-laid egg , took it up carefully in his hand , and after a very curious inspection , . made the following comment : — " Ochone ! an yer a fine child iv yer
mother born ; but the divil a bit do you favour yer mother , for yer white all over . Be _"jabers ! and yer the queerest bird I ever gaw , for ye have naither head , legs , nor tail , at all at all !" An Enemy to the Undertakers . ' —A citizen of Stockton , now no more , left behind in his will the following instructions * . — " My particular wish is that ( here be no funeral pomp at my burial , but that those who follow me to my grave be dressed in their ordinary manner . No hat bands , or crape , or plumes , or black gloyes , nor any needless display of . white handkerchiefs . That I may be conveyed simply to my last resting place , there to sleep , ' until the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised . ' I also desire that my widow may not wear ' wi d ows ' weeds , ' or other outward displays of mourning , which tend more to attract notice from the living , than show respect for the dead . "
Testimonial to the " Times . " —The Grand Cross of the Scourge and the Halter has been offered to the editor of the Times , for his defence of Haynau : — The cross , you see , is richly gilt With g ore , on Austrian scaffolds spilt ; And from the cross a medal swings , Attached to it with blood-red strings : Around its rim is wrought with care The hangman ' s cordon Sanitaire i : Upon one side there is embossed ¦ A gibbet by the muskets crossed , And on the other , 'twixt a brace Of rods , appears , in " pride of place , Argent ahd gides , the bleeding back Of well-whipped Madame Maderspach . This knightly bauble wear your cc at on , For Austria ' s partisans to gloat on ; And let them learn from you the trick , To win the heart of Metternich ,
