      THE BUREAUCRATS . Tbe government of Prussia is tbat of an absolute monarch ; , tlie executive department of which is entirely in the bands of a bureaucracy . The bureaucrats are an organised body of civil officers ; and the secret officers are probably almost as numerous as the public ones . It will henct * be understood that the whole machinery of government is carried on by these funetiouaries , established and sustained by the powers of a despotic sovereignty , and that the tins an < 1 tbe bureaucracy act and re-act upon each other with an influence which may perhaps be as systematic as it certainly is habitual .

      A popular representation and a free constitution have long been desired by the great mass in Prussia ; but as this woulduenninate Uie reign of the bureaucrats , they have constantly opposed it by every power and influence ihey possessed , both direct and indirect , openly and secretly , and up to this time with success . Nevertheless , the late Kins had found himself compelled by circumstances to promise all they wished to the people . At the Congress of Vienna , in 181 * , the following articles were agreed upt > n : — "_ L A definite part in the legislature . " 2 . The sanction ofthe Taxes .

      " 3 . Representation of the Constitution against an undue interference on the part of tbe Sing or the Diet . " And this was resolved upon and carried , as a minimum for each state . After this the late King published the well-remembered document of tbe 22 d of Hay , 1815 . It contained his solemn promise to give his people a constitution ; a promise , be it remembered , which was given in the time of dauger , when Napoleon was again threatening the kingdom , " That the principles , " says he ( we translate his own words ) , " upon which we _havegorerned may be truly handed down to posterity through the medium of a written document , as a constitution of tbe Prussian -dominions , and preserved for ever , we have decreed—1 st , There sludlbe a repraeutalionof the people . " Various other provisions fellow , all iu accordance with that first important declaration , and with a direct view to carrying oat such a purpose . And now it will be proper to address a word to the present King of Prussia .

      Frederick William HI ., the father of the present King , having made the above promts * in the most public manner , and never having revoked it in tbe same public manner , did nevertheless leave it unperformed . Does it not , therefore , devolve npon Frederick William IV . to preserve his father ' s memory from the imputation of having broken his word , hy I infilling his intentions , and at the same _time to satis j the jet more pressing requisitions of thc people at the present day 1 The promise was made by his father as some return forth * blood shed at Leipzig ; a promise to a people who had again redeemed his crown , which had been cast at the feet of France ; a

      promise made when his father was once more in fear of losing his dominions . Frederick William IV . has nevertheless declared to the states of Poscn ( Sept . 9 , 1 S 10 ) , that his father's promise does not bind bim , because his father considered a constitution would not be to the benefit ofhis people , and tbat bo had given them another ( June 3 th . 1 S 23 J , instead ofit . Now , the fact is , that this other does establish provincial estates , and hold out a prospect of popular representation , to the very same effect as his first promise of the 22 nd of May , 1815 . It is therefore clear that this second law could not have been intended to defeat or supply the place of the first .

      It will be evident , from what bas been said , tbat some exposition and detailed account of the bureaucrats may be huh curious in itself , and of importance to a right conception of the politics and government of the country . This desideratum has been supplied in several works , oi more or less completeness and daring freedom of speech . The best and most courageous of these , however , which has appeared since tbe elaborate work by Welcker , iB the volume recently published by Karl Heinzen , which is expressly devoted to an . account of thc functionaries in question . It is entitled _"DiePreussiscbeBureaukratie ! , Ton Karl Heinzen , Darmstadt , 1845 . "

      Bnt how could such a work appear in Prussia ? willba asked by all these who are aware of the enslaved condition of its press . Simply by the fact of the author Choosing to be a martyr to bis book . He knew Tery well what ivould happen , and says so in bis preface , and with yet more emphatic words in the course of his work . "That which makes man a slave , " says he , " is the mean fear of a prison . Bnt to be obliged to carry one ' s conviction into the grave is a greater punUkment than a prison could be ; and to spread abroad one ' s free opinion is a greater happiness than the security to be derived from a pusillanimous silence . It is a duty and an honour to enter a gaol , when its doors are opened for rectitude and truth . Tlie path to liberty lies through the prison . "

      In his anticipations he was not disappointed . His book was instantly ordered to be suppressed , and he was obliged to fly the country . Bat before saying more of Heinzen , or of his book , we will call the r _« ader ' 3 attention to a few carious facts and doings , illustrative of the working of secret policies . In 1813 and IS , _rrhtn Prussia was humbled to the dust hefore the armies of Napoleon , the celebrated poet Arndt was one ofthe few patriots who braved all dangers to recover the freedom of his country . He and some others ooldlr went forth among the different states .- - notwithstanding the numerous spies who were creeping about in all directions , and exhorted the people to rise in tbe cause of hberty . Arndt , by his spirit-stirring songs and personal eloquence , was mort especially the means of rousing

      his countrymen , and this he did at the risk ofhis life . It was now that the Hog promised to give his people a constitution and representation , and this he solemnly repeated at the _Cangress of Vienna , as previously explained . The Prussians flew to arms with enthusiasm . When peace was restored the people naturally expected the ratification of aU these promises . Arndt and the other patriots , who haa saf- _'d the . throne , liTed in daily hopes ; and meantime they opposed themselves to the spread of Trench , manners and customs , adopted « ld German manners and customs , and talked loudly and happily of noble things to come . _Frederick William III ., however , remained silent ; there were no signs of the f Hlfilment of his promises . Arndt and his fellow-patriots continued tolivfcin full hopes , and declared aloud their

      expectations . Suddenly , in 1829 , a body of police was despatched in all directions , and the patriots were arrested . Arndt , who was at the time a Professor of the University of Sonn , was seized , —bis liouse taken possession of hy the police , his papers And letters carried off , his rooms sealed up , and himself thrown into prison . He was tried for high treason . But though they tried all means , no such thing could be proved , and he was acquitted . He was never told upon what grounds he had been arrested . lie returned to his university , and resumed his lectures . But a letter speedily came from the minister , forbidding him to lecture , yet ordering that his salary as a professor should be continued . He could obtain no satisfactory explanation of this treatment It was a great injury to his future prospects in all worldly respects , because he was prevented

      from the principal source of a professor ' s emolument , wliich is the students'fees . Arndt took to cultivating his _gardeu ahd educating his children . In this state he remained tilt the accession ofthe presentking , in 1810 , when , hy an " act of grace , " the poet was restored to full liberty for the exercise of his powers . But , meantime , he had hecome twenty years oldtr ! He had lost all the arrears of students" fees for this long period , which would have enabled him to leave good profits of industry to his children . These twenty years were clearly * tbe period for the harvestof his life ; nearly all that had gone before had been employed in laboriously fitting himself for his office , and then down eomes the iron bar upon thc very midway of his mortal course . Arndt bitterly felt the injustice of his previous treatment , for which no compensation was made ; nor did it " teach him prudence , "

      foist an evening party a fen-years ago , when a friend was con gratulating hjm upon his restoration ; Arndt , who was standing close within the hearing of a Prussian prince , slapped his friend significantly npon the shoulder , and answered aloud , " Ah , my dear boy , the murder was committed—I am pardoned in my grave . " Bat although the direct gronnds of his arrest , and trial for high treason , had never been stated , an accidental circumstance some years since brongbt it to fight . The grounds were the discovery of a certain letter among his papers , which letter was evidently a reply to some communication ofhis on thesubject of the promised constitution . And who does the reader imagine this treasonable letter came from ? It was from the late King himseU ! Yet the poet , now in _rery advanced years , has had no redress , except tobe allowed to prosecute his labours as a professor .

      About three months ago a traveller—a stranger travelling iu Prussia- —was arrested at the Bahn Ilof of Aix-la-ChapclIe , by the police . He was at once thrown into prison . The Staats-procurator ( Procureur General } learned by an accident , eight days after his imprisonment , that an individual had been _. _arrestedat the Bahn Hot He went to the superintendent of theprison , and demanded whether the information he had received was true . The superintendent answered that it was perfectly tree . The Staats-procujator desired to be conducted to his cell forthwith . He was informed by the superintendent that he could not he permitted to do so , nor could anybody whatever be allowed to see the prisoner . The Staats-procurator , ia great indignation and astonishment _^ wenthome and wrote

      to tlie Kegiernngs-president ( President of the Hegency at _4 IO _recounting to Mm all the circumstances . The _ Re"ierungS-president replied that he could not give the Staats-procurator permission either to speak with the prisoner , or to see him . The confounded Staats-procurator replied hyaGng thearticle of the law , _according to jvhich eveiy individual arrested ought tohe broughtbefore the Instructions-Eichter ( Judge d'lnstrncb ' onj within _twehty- four hours . The President then replied finally that fie had secret instructions from a higher authority , ofthenatureofwhichhegaveacconnttono one . What becomes ef the established laws in such cages !

      • nobleman—name _unknot—and he bas been given Into the lum _£ s of the poi _ te _'<___ L Russia . Tbe Prussian bureaucracy has its origin inthe absotismof the _Prussfca monarchy , and is the natural concomitant of regal despotism and popular slavery . It is -all-powerful , and irresponsible . The press dare not , and in fact cannot , attack it , because the Censor is one ofthe bureaucratical body , and certainly one of its most watchful members ; justice does not punish its misdeeds , because justice has no power over it , the " heads of the law" being also of that body . Complaints may be preferred publicly against any of its abuses ; but to what purpose , when those who are to decide upon these complaints are themselves bureaucrats ? " We are governed , " -laid tbe Baron von Stela ( thc minister who remodelled the government in the old Prussian provinces ) " by hired ,

      book-learned bureaucrats , who are without property , and have no interests at stake . Being paid , they strive to render their offices permanent , and increase their numbers and salaries ; being book-learned , they live only in the world of letters , and are ignorant of the actual world around them ; being without interests , they have no dealings with any other class ofthe citizens , and may , in fact , be termed the Government Writing Class ! " "As they have no tangible property , the various schemes and fluctuations of property do not affect them . •* It may rain , " proceeds Von Stein ; "the sun may shine ; the taxes may rise or fall ; all laws of old standing may be obliterated , or remain as of old—the Writing Class cares nothing about the matter . The great vice from which our dear fatherland suffers , is the power ef the bureaucrats , and thc nothingness of tbe citizens . " ISow , the ex-minister did not

      mean to say that state officers should not be paid for labour performed , as well as any other class ; tbat a know _, ledge of books was a reproach to them ; nor that having no interests and no property at stake , was , in itself , to be denounced ; what he intended to show was , that all these facts and circumstances rendered them incompetent , or otherwise unfit to decide in many very important matters —while they do actually decide upon all important matters , however ignorant they may be of the subject ; nor do they seek or receive the advice of those practically en . gaged in and acquainted with such subjects . They transact thoir business with closed doors ; they frame laws , acts , and treaties , as they think fit ; their statements , facts , and arguments are not knoivn , and " even their ignorance is not known , except by its results . " As to why a law is made—how it is made—and how it

      worksnobody is responsible . If a law is discovered to be bad , and subversive of the effect intended , never mind—im . prove it , or make another ; do tliis openly , if there be no reason against it ; but if the change will in any way reflect serious discredit upon the frainers or executors of the law , then make the change silently , and let the people find out the change as they may successively feel it pinch . Thc mischief that has been effected by the bad framing of commercial treaties , is in some cases quite as conspicuous as with respect to bad laws . A commercial _treaty being made by writers who have no personal experience and no direct knowledge of the matter and question at issue , and consequently no foresight ; who have no property and private interests at stake to "fillip" their understandings " with a three man beetle ; " yet who , for all this , do not ask the advice and assistance of those who do possess the required experience and knowledge—such a treaty must at all times be liable to do tbe greatest injury to the commercial interests of the country . The treaty made with

      the Dutch some two years ago is one striking instance . The Butch knew what they were about , and chose thorough men of business to stake terms . The Writing Class had no chance with them . Amidst all disasters , and while important laws or treaties are pending , no practical and instructed person can offer " a timely word of advice or warning , " no public measure being previously open to public discussion . It is only known when the deed is done , and adrice or warning would be too late . Yet , notwithstanding all this , the bureaucrats consider themselves always right . " One of the most pernicious principles of bureaucracy , ' . ' says Heinzen , "is that it can never be wrong—or dare be wrong . " For this reason , displaying as it does , a sense of its own insecure position , these fetnetionaries are obliged to justify every error they commit ; every wrong is liable to call for other wrongs to cover it up—every falsehood for other falsehoods ; every secret machination for other machinations . And the quiet and regular management of these matters is considered as subtle policy , and well earning their salaries .

      lleiuzen _' s _chapter on tho " Bureaucracy and the Press " is a severe but perfectly fair exposition of the condition of the press in Prussia . The power of the censor is despotic to an extent that is at once infamous and ludicrous . His power actually extends to the circulars and advertisements ofnu-rcbants and tradesmen ; wholesale tobacconists , dealers in eau-de-cologne , pastrycooks or shoemakers , cannot send out a circular or print a few lines in a newspaper , without first " pointing the toe" to the censor , and submitting it for approval . His office is no sinecure , for he works away at a great rate in his duty of revision . Not only do authors and editors often resist ,

      and attempt to ai _^ gue and " show him" that there is nothing really amenable to censure in certain passagoshe has expunged , but even wine merchants and wool merchants sometimes have "high words" with him . All to no purpose—down goes his scratch along the paper—out goes the passage ! This officer , moreover , is not always the bist informed gentleman in the world . An author had recently translated Dante ' s - _D-ioinia _^ pome dia into _German—GiJtlliche Comodie . The censor , never having heard of the work before , refused his permission for its publication , alleging that " divine things should not be made the subject of a comedy I "

      The censorship ofthe Prussian press has been well described inthe Foreign Quarterly Review , and we cannot do better than make a brief extract in corroboration of what has just been stated from our own knowledge : — " The censorship has different departments . There is a censor whose business in each town is solely with newspapers ; another 'looks sharp' after the pamphlets ; another takes care of the novels , and romantic literature generally ; nor is poetry by any means forgotten . But the newspapers are more especially the object of watchful solicitude . The Prussian government does not consider the censor a sufficient power to keep the editors of newspapers withiu the bounds of ' a most undangerous

      discussion of affairs / and therefore suspends over their heads a threat , like the sword of Damocles , that any slip of the pen maybe visited by the loss of the license of the paper . No newspaper can appear in Prussia without a license , and licenses are very difficult to be obtained , and for tbe most part are only given _coiicfif / cwinHy . But after all this care in the licenses , and making preliminary conditions , and the constant supervision of the censor ( who may erase anything be please *? , here and there , all over the printer ' s proofs , the gaps being ordered to be closed so that nobody shall know the alarming spots where an erasure was made ) , after all this , the editor , or other responsible person , is still amenable to the law ! " —For . _Qftar . Rev ., Nos . Ixvi , and lxix .

      The remarks made by Heinzen upon the military of Prussia—the " nation of soldiers , " as they sometimes call themselves , are of a kind which every country that possesses a standing army may find in a certain degree ap . pHcable to its own arrangements for this department of Civilisation . _"Nothing , says Heinzen , " presents a greater contrast to the culture of our times , than the reflection that the security ofthe state sliould still be based on a military institution ; an institution by which every independent power of man becomes a fault ; in whieh even the rudest word of command becomes reason , the blindest obedience virtue I "

      One of the most curious and interesting chapters in Heinzen ' s " _Btireav _ kratie" is that in which he shows how nearly all the public offices and officers have their private duplicates . The best idea we can convey of this chapter will be to give a paraphrase of a few official titles ; thus , suppose the following to be all Prussian titles—Controller ofthe Customs , Harbour Master , Commissioner of Mines and _Manufactories , Overseer of Public Works , Post-master General , Village Post-master , Parish Clerk , Surgeon of the lloyal Hospital , Beadle of the Parish , & c , then the list of offices would present the following duplicates : — Controller of the Customs . Secret Controller of the Customs . Harbour Master .

      Secret Harbour Master . Commissioner of Mines and Manufactories . Secret Commissioner of Mines and Manufactories Overseer of Public Works . Secret Overseer of Public Works . Post-master General . Secret Post-master General , Vffiage Post-master . Secret Village Post-master , Parish Clerk . Secret Parish Clerk . Surgeon of the Koyal Hospital . Secret Surgeon of the lloyal Hospital . — _- Beadle ofthe Parish . Secret Beadle ofthe Parish . Ac . ic . ic .

      The above is a paraphrase , not merely of a few titles Of actual offices with their duplicates , adduced by Heinzen , but of several pages of such titles which he displays in a long list . They speak volumes as to the condition of affairs and the system of secret policies established by the Prussian bureaucracy . It amounts to an organised spy-system of the most universal character . The consequences to the author of such an exposition may Teadily be conjectured . The book was instantly ordered to be suppressed ; the police seized all thc copies from all public libraries , and from all privatehands where they knew it might be found ; Heinzen was obliged to fly

      fi-om Prussia—and a few copies of his book- still remaining undiscovered by the police , were handed about in all ¦ directions , and read with avidity . To our certain knowledge , it has been read by most of the leading politicians in Berlin , including those " in office' nearest the throne . So much for "suppression / _evuninan absolute _Government—as if the free spirit of man really could be suppressed ! His body may be exiled , chained up in a dungeon , starved , or cut to pieees ; but to destroy his tongue during life is more difficult to effect ; more difficult sou to snatch away his pen ; and to destroy his inward thoughts , impossible .

      Heinzen offered to return and surrender himself up to the ministers of justice , if they would promise to haTe him fried by the laws of the Code Napoleon . This , however , { was refused ; he was tried in bis absence , found guilty of course , and sentenced , among other things , to a year ' s imprisonment , whenever he should again set foot on his native Jand . The sentence was regarded as extremely light , and indicative of sundry wise alarms in high quarters . "Prussia , farewellV wrote Heinzen in reply . "The ship fo * iriy return is now in flames . I will seek for myself another home , and must increase the number of tby

"—Paley . " There could be no such thing as lauded property riginally .

The Great Spirit gave it to his children to live upon , and cultivate , as far as is necessary for their subsistence ; and so long as they occupy and cultivate it , they have the right to the soil—but if they voluntarily leave it , then any other people have a right to settle upon it .

"Every individual possesses , legitimately , tlie thing which his labour , his intelligence ( or more generally ) , which his activity has created .

For as . the soil has not been created by man , it follows from the fundamental principle of property , _that-it cannot belong to any small portion of tlie human race , who have created it by their activity . let us then conclude that the true theory of property is founded on the' creation of thc thing possessed . '"—Fourier . " If man has a right to light , air , and water , which no one will attempt to question , be has a right , also to the told , which is just as necessary for the maintenance of his subsistence . If every person had an equal share of the soil , poverty- would be unknown in thc world , and crime would disappear with -want . " —Hike Walih .

      " What monopoly inflicts evils of such magnitude , as that of land ! it is the sole barrier to national prosperity . The people , the only creators of wealth , possess knowledge ; they possess industry ; and if they possessed land , they could set all other monopolies at defiance ; they would then be enabled to employ machinery for their-own benefit , and the world would behold with delight and astonishment the beneficial effects of this mighty engine , when properly directed .

      ¦ _M—HM ____* PROGRESS OFAGRARIANISM IN AMERICA . ( Continuedfrom the Northern Star of Sept , ldth , J Social Statb of New York . —Amongst the arguments adduced by the National Reformers in support of their plan of restoring the Public Lands to the people , and gradually extinguishing landlordism , is that of thc present wretched and degraded state oi the landless inhabitants of large cities . Thus , in New York , we learn from authorities quoted- by Young America , there are , in a population of less than 400 , 000 , 58 , 000 annually receiving pauper relief ; 70 , 000 annually receiving society and charity assistance ; 50 , 000 annually receiving pauper medical relief ; that one in eight of all who die are buried paupers ; and lastly the city contains 10 , 000

      prostitutes ! In an article quoted from the Tribune , the editor of that paper says , " There is hardly a day in which we do not receive applications from printers and others , entreating work oil any terms which will keep starvation at bay . The facts within our possession warrant the estimate that there are at no time less than 20 , 000 persons vainly seeking work in this city . " We are assured by the President of thc Journeymen Shoemakers' Association , that the wages of his fellow craftsmen in the city have fallen lower and lower , until now the great mass of them work at rates which will hardly keep soul and body together—not averaging over five dollars a week . There are a few employed on nice custom work who do better , but the above is true of the great majority . In our own trade ( printing ) the average earnings of thc journeymen of our city , including those who do not work because they cannot get work , must fall short of 6 dols . per week , or 300 dols . per annum . The regular

      pay ot day labourers in our city is , if we mistake not , 1 dol . rcr day . Rainy days , severe cold weather , < fcc , are of course excluded . It would be a liberal estimate to say that the willing labourer has employment four days per week , and earns 200 dols . per year . Out of this he has to pay rent , buy food , fuel , clothing , medicine , ifco ., for his family , often including six or seven children too young to labour . There are probably fifty thousand women in our city dependent on their own efforts for subsistence . One half these are engaged as teachers , house servants , & e ., and so can live while they have employment . The other half are employed as seamstresses , book-folders , in manufactures , < fcc ., at wages averaging less than two dollars per week . Thousands cannot by steady industry earn a , dollar and a half per week . On this they barely exist while they have employment ; and when that fails they must starve or do worse . Hundreds are annually driven to infamy and ruin by absolute destitution . "

      The editor of the Tribune adds— "It is our deliberate estimate , the result of much inquiry , that the average earnings of those who live by simple labour in our city—embracing at least two-thirds of our population , — -scarcely if at all exceed one dollar per _\ veek for each person subsisting thereon . _^ Ou this pittance , and very much less than this in many thousands of instances , three hundred thonsand persons within sight of Trinity steeple must pay city rents and city prices for food , buy their clothing , and obtain such medical attendance , religious consolation , mental culture , aud means of enjoyment as they have . " This is horrible enough : let us now take the other aide of the picture .

      ¦* How tub _Mosnr Goes . —rhe following example of the progress of luxury in the great cities , is published in a New Haven paper , in reference chiefly to what may be seen in New York : — ' In the bookstores of this city an unprecedented number of splendid annuals are to be found , some of them as high as 30 dols .. This for a mere fancy book , is no mean _suta . I saw fans to-day in a fancy shop , valued at 9 dols ., but Bonfanti has them as high as SO or 100 dollars . They are beautifully ornamented with precious stones and oblong mirrors of the size of a dollar , and sometimes , in addition , a minute gold pencil and ivory

      tablets on the side of the handle . Muffs are sold as high as 150 dols ., in Maiden-lane ; pocket handkerchiefs hang in Broadway windows at 50 to 75 dols . ; a flute of tortoise-shell for 120 dols ., while Black , Tomkins and Ball , successors to Mafquand and Co ., jewellers on Broadway , the day before ' New Year ' s , retailed behind their counter faiicy goods in their line to the amount of five thousand and ninety dollars ! So we go . This evening , near the same store , are seen seated two wretched looking women , with cmaciaicd infants in their arms , begging for

      bread !'" "Well , " we think we hear some bloated profitmonger chuckling , " if this is the result of your fine Universal Suffrage and Republicanism , after being in practice so many years , what use would be your Charter to you , for which you are everlastingly clamouring I" Gently , Mr . Profitraonger , the lesson that the present state of New York teaches us is , not that Universal Suffrage is worthless , but that it has never been brought into fair operation . Not that Republicanism is an evil , but that Republicanism has never existed bHt in name ; otherwise no such overgrown dens of infamy and misery would ever have been permitted to grow up on the American soil , as this same pestiferous Babel—New York , The '' Independence" was achieved in ' 76 , but Vie " Republic " has yet to be established . The Americans might just as well be subject to British tyrants as to " Native "

      plunderers . The heartless , selfish , over-gorged luxury of the New York profitoeracy , existing by the side of the misery of the toilers and wealth-producers above described , is a crime against humanity , which ought not to bo allowed to endure for a day longer , and will not be allowed to endure for an instant after the long-cheated many return to their senses . Better that this den of thieves and slaves—the slaves ot wages and of want—should be given over to . anarchy and flame , and the fate of Nineveh and Tyre be its doom , than thatthe lazy , gluttonous , brutal fewshould continue their accursed rule . We say this of cities nearer home , too , than New York ; cities greater in extent , older in crime , and whose miserable victims far outnumber those of New York . But the workingmen of New York have the remedy in their own hands ; let them exercise it ; let them use the Suffrage for themselves , and no longer for the heartless _pdsticians of all parties , who

      Keep the word of promise to the ear , And break it to the hope ; Let them make a veritable Republic ; let them insist upon the land being given to tbe landless , and drive the bloodsuckers to honest labour , or the devil . _ The National Reformers continue their weekly meetings , and , besides thc central meeting , are establishing ward meetings , and ward organizations , for the purpose of agitating their principles , and also preparing against the fall eleeti _» ns . Mr . Bovat _, the _eloquent secretary to the association , lias gone on a mission into the Anti-Rent district for the purpose of propagating the principles of the Reformers . The late numbers of Young America contain letters from Mr . Bovat , describing his success , whieh has more than exceeded his expectations . He is traversing Albany county holding large meetings , his audiences everywhere according their assent to the principles

      and objects of the National Reformers . Amongst the new adherents to the association , we notice a Mr . O'Connor , editor of the Irish Volunteer , who , at a meeting holdcn on the 20 th of August , said : — He came not to teach , but to learn . Though a young disciple in the cause , he had watched the progress of tbe association since it commence , ! , mid finding its purposes just , had joined it , as in duty bound . The measure of this association is finding its way , because those who have watched its progress for nearly two years have seen that tlte men who have pushed it on are men who have a handicraft , aud consequently _u deep interest in the ri g hts pf labour . Those Who ave converted b y these men , will stick when converted . It is no wonder , said Mr . O'C , that this cause should claim my sympathy , who , in my native country , have seen whole villages levelled , and men driven from the portals they had been familiar with from

      infancy , by a system of landlordism . I believe , said ha , tliat soon you will have thousands engaged shoulder to shoulder iu this cause , without respect to party . What have the parties done , except to increase tuxes and distribute oflices , while the labourer is sinking step by step into abject poverty ? The party that will take up the measure of this association , that party we should stiind by and vote for , but no other . 1 , said he , argued this measure at mil points with your secretary , and at last became convinced , and have since convinced many others ; and I can assure you the cause is going on gradually , and that soon a state of things will come to pass , when , instead of wanting handbills to call _» meeting , you will , want officers to keep the passages clear , and have speakers rushing to the platform to proclaim that the land given by God to man , should be kept out ofthe hands of speculators , and

      appropriated free to actual settlers . ( Loud cheers . ) The time is not distant when those who oppose this measure Will only be wretches who cannot feel for common humanity . Go to Europe , and see the situation of the toiling farmer raising produce that he is not allowed to eat , while a few yards distant is the half . starvcd operative'singing over his beer pot that " Britons never will , be slaves . " Now is the time to avert such a fatu as this from the producer of America . Every member of this association should become an apostle iu the cause . Little is to be expected from the press till the people are informed . It is too much occupied with offices in and out of the Custom House ; whose prospects are bright aud whose not ; who is headed oft ; and who ought to be headed oft ; the building of new prisons and alms-houses ; while thousands ofmen ave begging employment even at fifty cents a day . . Hut men of mind and influence have had their attention drawn

      to this subject by the efforts of this association ; men from whom trading politicians and time-serving presses will take their cue . These men can see that the larger our alms-houses , the less will be our dignity as a rcpublie ; that there is no good reason why men ' s lives should be shortened by privationaiid suffering ; that here there should be no paupers ; that all should be freemen ; and soon your presses will be loud in proclaiming these truths , and soon your platform will be filled with men who will be anxious to convince you that they have always entertained such sentiments . ( Loud applause . ) The _Tbadbs are moving , but like the trades in this country they move slowly ; never mind , the advance of . machinery , and increasing tyranny of competition , will make them move quicker bye and by . At a late general meeting of the New York Trades , Mr . Bovay spoke at great length in support of the freedom , of the public lands . His address was received with great enthusiasm . The following are extracts : —

      Labour has from the beginning been enslaved : whatever progress man has made , has been through slavery . In earlier ages it was the simple direct slavery of pure force : "No long circuit of means" was employed to reduce the labourer to servitude . His body was at onco declared to be property , and he a thing subject like other things to law of trade . This form of slavery lus not been abolished as is so generally supposed , even under our modern civilization , but with a few rare exceptions it has decayed ; it is simply out of fashion , obsolete , for the most part , dead , Where there is any vestige of it left , no doubt it is most revolting to our moral instincts , simply because its direct , downrig ht way of doing things is somewhat opposed to the circuitous zig-zag paths whicli civilization takes to accomplish its ends . In the course of time another form of slavery has also arisen , flourished ,

      and now , over most part of Europe at least , fallen ; It chained man to soil whereon he was born , made bim a fixture to real estate , declared , in fact , land to be the principal and man a mere incident—an accident . And yet , as in the more primitive Chattel slavery ; so in the Feudal , thin ) was some rude connecting link , even if it ware only by iron chain and brass collar , between the master and his slave . Says Mr . Carlyle : "Gurth , with tho brass collar round his neck , tending Cedric ' 6 pigs in the glades of the woods , is not what . I call an examplar of human felicity ; but Gurth with the sky above him , with the fcuu air and tinted boscage aud umbragp around him , and in him at least the certainty , of supper and social lodgings when he came home—Gurth to mo . seems happy in comparison with _nianyaLancashire and Buckinghamshire man of these days , not born thrall of anybody . Gurth is now

      ¦ _emaneipatad' long sinco . ; has what we call 'Liberty . ' _Liburty , I anv told , is a divine thing . Liberty , when it becom # s the _lihertjpb die . by starvation , is not so divine . " Such simple , and in some considerably qualified sense , _yatviavchal relations Mti . _TiOv . past , tins longtime ; ami the labourer throughout the greater part of the civilized world , though called "free , " is reduced tobe the slave , not of man , but . of a thing , of a heartless , soulless , merciless monster named ' . ' Capital , " , which knows no conditions but those which , are written in its bond . If the condition written be " a pound of , flesh , " a pound of flesh it will have ; if a human body or a human soul , nothing short of the body or the soul will , satisfy it . Its courses are insidious ,, subtle , and past finding out . Having , through its doctrines of . _"Laisses Faire , " "Supply and Demand , " _. fcc ., brought at last great part of the labourers

      in Christendom . down to a point very httl _» above starvation , it-is now seeking . successfully to turn them off altogether , not to graze . but to starve . Human labour is to be dispensed with hereafter , and elemental labour is to ¦ supply its . place . Capital- _snys now to that dark , frowning mountain yonder , " I have work for you to do ; " aud straightway tho immense mass , which has held its place impreguable since the beginning of time , becomes melted into red liquid iron , and through various cunning influences begins to assume forms of cylinder , piston , and connecting rod , 'till finally that black old mountain stands in well-adjusted , elegant machine , ready to do whatsoever work is demanded of it . The individual labourer will , of course , strive for a time to keep his place , and -battle for existence with this machine , but elemental labour is too strong for an arm of

      flesh , and shortly he is ousted of employment and turned away to die . Do I object to the introduction of machinery into the provinco of human labour ! Assuredly not . It is one of the most remarkable evidences of human dignity and progress . But it i 6 that , after he has been thrown out of his accustomed employment by machinery , tho labourer should , -without any provision for his support , he remorselesoly cast off to die—this it ie to which I take exception . I rejoice that now , instead of paddling up and down the coast in a rude bark canoe , with cargo , at the best of untanncd skins aboard , man is able to command that oak forest and hemp field in language irresistible , to carry for him this polished cutlery and these delicate muslin stuffs into remote Chinese seas * , but I humbly opine that the moral and social condition of the human famil y should be in some degree improved by

      it , and not mado incomparably worse . True , the pro . _ducing classes of this country are not sunk so low as those of Europe , but they are subject to the same social and commercial unwritten laws , and under tlmiv operation tlicy arc sinking with fearful rapidity . Is there under the sun any remedy for this ? The question is now fairly up ; demanding in earnest tones "immediate consideration ' , and it will not be postponed until African slavery in the south is settled , nor fur any manner of question whatever . The ft * _ae labourer of this Korth , wrestling with unseen , fiendish powers , culls aloud that most immediate attention be paid to his necessaries , " Behold , C 5 , ' O 0 O of my brethren are sunk below the condition of labour into absolute pauperism , in this city of New York alone , " and again we are brought back to the question , "What shall be donet" We have in this

      country an easy , simple , and ettectual way of doing certain things , established on purpose for the convenience of the people : " it is through the "ballot box . " In my opinion it is tlie labourer ' s only hope , and I undertake to say there Is 6 iie _question now partially before the people of this country , falling necessarily to the decision by ballot , which / if justly settled , would once and for ever on this Continent emancipate labour from the thraldom of capital , and establish" a fair day ' s wages'for a fair day ' s work . " It is a fact seldom , almost never dwelt upon , that in course of time all things ' which are upon the earth , or under the earth , or in the sea , susceptible of it by nature , have , in the hands of man , or by fiction or intendment * f law , been reduced to the condition of property . If ah . 'himself has not been excepted from the rule ; the elements , wliich it is ' evidentfi'om the Bible ,

      from the nature and wants of man , and from his position here in this world , the Creator designed to be and to remain free for ever , are at last all monopolized , so that from the highest pinnacle of Slount Blanc , 15 , 000 feet or so , to thc lowest Tenipe valley in broad Europe , there is not a rood of curth destitute of its parchment coveringall to the darkest , deepest " Trosarch ' s Jaws" is covered over with the patents ahd title deeds of . society , and time has ' hallowed the possession , ' Truly in these last days , as of old , " the foxes have holes _^ and the birds ofthe air have nests , but the son of man hath not where to lay his head . " I hold it to be self-evident , that man has a natural right to the occupation and enjoyment of a portion of this earth , " and the first command which I find given to him in the bible , though not in the form of a command , is in substance , that he shall go forth and _work-upon it . Again , in ' the institutions of the chosen

      people , abroad distinction'is taken between the posses _, sions in land and those thing * fashioned by the hand of man , which vrm call "personal property , " for while these , the transient , th * perishable , were not to go back at the jubilee , it is provided that " the land shall not bo sold for ever . " Modern Governments , however , not only assume to " sell the land for ever " hut also—by what right I am at a loss to determine— they confer dominion over it to thc individual , not _boundvd by his wants or his ability to enjoy , but by his lust and ambition _alona . T hns Norman William gave all the lands of England to 700 of his freebooting barons , and three-fourths of it is owned by tliree thousand families to this day . Herein is he solution of that problem which has so long , in it * general a » p » ct , puzzled the political economists ; whence conns H ihat the wealth of that nation rises just in proportion as its labourers sink into poverty and destitution ! To

      Within That Land Was Many A Malcontent, ...

      millions of ihe pepple of England access to tho soil , without revolution , is impossible ; employment then at some rate tbey must have of capital or die . _atachinery comes in to do the work of man , children do the work of women , and constant increase of numbers aggravates their helplessness . Still employment they must have ; and from such employment" good Lordjdeliverug ; " nota horse , not an ox , willing to work in the united kingdom but what is betterpaid ; it is such as enables Great Britain to command for her products the markets ofthe world , by underselling every other people ; and thus is the gold and silver tide settingfrom far and n » nr toward the "fast anchored isle . " After manifold Chartist insurrections the people of England are now fast coming to the conclusion that nothing short of an outlet to tho laud will answer , and tlicy are calling aloud for the restoration of the commonlands ,

      stolen heretofore by _npartrulge-Bhooting aristocracy . In this country , wc , the National lleform Association , turning away from the cultivated nnd appropriated earth , take our stand on the public landr . We ask that these _lamis shall be disposed of under something like the following plan , which is no contrivance of ours , for the present condition of agriculture seems already to have decided what is right and practicable concerning tlicm . —Lot _tci ' _. ritwial governments be enacted over them , and state governments in time . Let them be divided into counties , townships , sections and quarter sections as now , and let every man who will live upon it , come and take , without money or without price , one of these quarter sections ( ICO acre *) not already occupied , which shall remain to him and his heirs for ever ; but in every township at loast the most eli gible section ( one mile square ) should be reserved and laid out with proper discretion and care into free lots for the inhabitants of a village : and , to prevent

      the accumulation of great possessions in land , the inevitable result of which is to deprive thousands ofthe enjoyment of any , it should be provided that no title to more than one farm or one village lot shall ever be recognised in any man . To this extent , then , would land be property , subject to all its laws and incidents , but no further . Every m » n in such a state would be born a freeholder , which would of course give him a material independence for all time . There undoubtedly would be tli ' e _employer and employed , but no abject dependence ; there would be wages , but no " slavery of wages . " Forthwith , were this great measure carried , the tide of human life , instead of setting as now _. steadily towards the cities , would turnitsell toward the setting sun : nnd three generations hereafter should see iu that valley of the Mississippi , ' swarming with its tens of millions , the most industrious , most virtuous , most intelligent , and , in the aggregate , tho most wealthy community whereon the suu ev _« r shone .

      London Corn Exchange, Monday, Sept. 29.—...

      London Corn _Exchange , Monday , Sept . 29 . —Thc arrivals of English wheat up to our market during last weekwere on thc increase , but those of barley , malt , oats , and all other grain of homo produce , wei e on a very limited scale . Of Irish oats the receipts were tolerably good : the imports of foreign wheat and oats very extensive . Tho accounts which have reached us to-day from the North of England are to the effect that , notwithstanding the comparatively unfavourable weather lately experienced there , harvest work is progressing somewhat rapidly , though a larger portion of the wheat and other grain has been carried in very middling condition , Fresh up this morning rather an increased supply of English wheat came to hand coastwise , as well as by land earriago and sample , chiefly from Essex and Kent . The

      stands were in consequence well filled with parcels of both red and white ; yet , as the attendance of London and country dealers was large , thc demand for that article was very , steady at fully the advance Obtained in tlie currencies on Monday last , and at wliich a good clearance was effected by the factors . The show of free foreign wheat was , comparatively speaking , limited . The best qualities sold briskly at extensive rates , while other kinds moved oft ' steadily at full prices . For corn under lock for export , the inquiry was by no means so active as last week . Nevcithclcss _. the importers would not sell except at fully the late improvement in the quotations . Very few parcels have been entered for home consumption at the 17 s . duty . We have had very few

      parcels of English barley offering , and the show of foreign was again small . Malting and grinding sorts soldfreely at very full prices , but distilling kinds were a slow sale . The best kinds of malt , which were scarce , were in improved request , and last week's rates were well supported . The middling and inferior sorts were in sluggish request . Notwithstanding the immense arrival of foreign oats , a good business was doing in all descriptions , and _Jatc rates were sustained in every instance . A few parcels of _foreign beans were taken for shipments . The demand tor most kinds of English was firm , at the improvement in value noticed last week . White peas were dearer _, but grey and maple were a slow sale , but not cheaper . Flour . moved off slowly . ' at unaltered currencies . In seeds very few sales were reported .
