      The History of Ireland . By Thomas Wright , M . A ., F . S . A ., Ac . Part V . London : J . and I . Tallis , 100 , St John Street . The fifth part of this ably-written work brings the history of Ireland down to the commencement of the reign of Henry V . The leading features of the sad story are still the same—oppression on-the part of tbe strong , division on the part of the weak . The details of slaughter , rapine , treacherv , and every passible crime are painfully _Qvenrhclming . The feuds of "the Angle-Irish barons added to the horrors of the times , and the Geraldines , the De Burghs , the De Laceys , and the other lords of the

      Pale , appear to bave acted with a degree of villany towards each other not at all inferior to the atrocity of their common conduct towards the original Irish . Plunder , massacre , assassination , andviolence of every kind , appear to bave been the unceasing pursuits of these precious specimens of the age of chivalry . ' These worthies were in the habit of even setting the English government at defiance , and usually with impunity . Not always so , however , for in 1331 the Lord William de Bermingham , ' was pub . licly hanged at Dublin . ' It is to be regretted that one monopolised what was so well deserved by allthe gallows .

      It affords us pleasure to testify to the impartial character of this history—so far as the work has yet progressed . We must not omit to add . our testimony to the ability which the historian exhibits in every page of his striking narrative .

      The Noithkrn Comma Ohb Hundbhb Mi Sixtr ...

      The Noithkrn Comma Ohb _Hundbhb mi Sixtr Tsars singr . —A large part of the conntry beyond Trent was , down to the eighteenth century , in a state of barbarism . Physical and moral causes had occurred to prevent civilisation from spreading to that region . The air was inolemant ; the soil was generally each as required skilful and industrious cultivation ; and there oould be little skill or industry in a tract which was often the theatre of war , and whioh , even when there was nominal peace , was constantly desolated by band- ef Scottish marauders . Before the union of the two British crewns , and long after that nnion , there was as great a difference between Middlesex and Northumberland as there now ia between Massachusetts and the settlements of

      those squatters who , far to the west of the Mississippi , administer a rude justice with the rifle and the dagger . In the reign of Charles the Second , the traces left by ages of slaughter and pillage were still distantly perceptible , many miles south of tne Tweed , in the faoe of the oountry , and in the lawless manners of the people . There was still a large class of mosstroopers , whose calling wai to plunder dwellings and to drive away whole herds of cattle . It wu found necessary , soon after the restoration , to enaot laws ef great severity for the prevention of these outrages . The magistrates of Northumberland and Cumberland were authorised to raise bauds of armed men , for the defence of property and order ; and provision was made

      for meeting the expense oi those levies by taxation . The parishes were required to keep bloodhounds for the purpose of hunting the freebooters . Many old men , who were living is the middle of the eighteenth century , could well remember the time when those ferocious degs were oommon . Yet , even with sueh auxiliaries , it was often fonnd impossible to track the robbers to their retreats among the hills and morasses ; fer tbe geography of that wild country was very imperfectly known . Even after the accession of George III ., the path over the fells from Borrowdale to Ravenglas was still a secret carefully kept by the dalesmen , some of whom had probably in their youth esoaped from tbe pursuit of justice by tbat road . The seats

      of the gentry and the larger farm-houses were fortified . Oxen ware penned at night beneath the overhanging battlements of the residence , which was known by the name of the peel . The inmates slept with arms at their sides . Huge stones and boiling water were in readiness to crush and scald tbe plunderer who might venture to assail the little garrison . No traveller ventured into that country without making his will . The judges on cironit , with the whole body of barristers , attorneys , olerke , and serving men , rode on horseback from Newcastle to Carlisle , armed , and escorted by a strong guard under the command of the sheriffs . It was necessary to carry provisions , for the country was a wilderness whioh afforded no supplies . The spot where the caimmenoakis

      valcade halted to dine , nnder an se , sot yet forgotten . The irregular vigour witb wbich criminal justice wag administered _shocied observers whose life had been passed in more tranquil districts . Juries , animated by hatred , and by a sense of common danger , convioted housebreakers and cattle stealers with the promptitude of a court-martial in a mutiny * and the convicts were hurried by scores to the gallows . Within the memory of eome who are still living , the sportsman who wandered in pursuit of game to the sources of the Tyne , found the heaths round Keeldar Castle peopled by a race scarcely less savage than the Indiana of California ; and heard , with surprife , the half-naked women chanting a wild measurewhile the men , witb brandished forks , danced

      , a war-dance . —Macaulay ' s Sittory of England . A Moralist Bitten . — -Campbell weat to Paisley races got prodigiously interested inthe first race , and betted on the success of one horse to the amount ef £ 50 with Professor Wilson .

      The President Of The French Republic .On...

      THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . ON THE ' EXTINCTION OF PAUPERISM . '

      Sometime in the year 1847 , we reviewed a small publication issued by Mr Cleave , 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet Street , entitled 'Extinction of Pauperism , by Prince Louis Napoleon Buonaparte . ' Although never failing to remember the injunction : put not your trust in princess , ' we nevertheless felt ourselves constrained to express general approbation ofthe work in question . It was when a prisoner at Ham , that Louis Napoleon wrote down his thoughts on the condition of the people—their sufferings—and the remedy for those sufferings , ' Sweet are the uses of adversity ! ' When a prisoner , Louis Napoleon

      felt with and for the people . But does the same feeling move him now that he is President of the Republic ? We shall ere long see . For ourselves we confess we have no faith in the intentions of the President . His choice of ministers and other officials , tells a tale not to be misunderstood by men possessing common sense . Moreover , has he not Thiers for his principal adviser behind the scenes ? So rumour asserts , and neither himself nor his friends have contradicted the report . With such an arch _, knave at bis elbow it will be _impossible for him to act well , if ever so well-inclined . But after all we may find ourselves mistaken . Time will tell .

      ln the meantime , it will be well to recall the published views of Louis Napoleon on the Labour Question . With this view we reprint the following extracts from thc work above named , at the same time recommending our readers to purchase the work itself .

      IHB _EXHTIHO BT 8 TEM CONDBMMBD . The wealth of a country depends upon the prog _, parity of agriculture and industry , the development of commerce at homeaxd abroad , and a just and equitable distribution of the revenue . There is not one of these different elements oi prosperity whioh is not undermined in France by anorganic defeot . All independent minds acknowledge it . They differ only in regard to the remedies to be applied . Labour , the source of ail wealth , has neither system , organisation , nor aim . It is like a machine

      -forking withont a regulators , and totally unconcerned about its moving power . Crashing between its wheels alike men and matter , it depopulates the oountry , crowds the population into narrow spaces without air , enfeebles both mind and body , and finally , easts into the Btreet , when it no longer requires them , those men who , to gain something , have sacrificed strength , youth , and existence . Like a veritable Saturn , manufacturing industry devours its ohildren , and lives but upon their destruction ,

      Home commerce suffers , because industry produces too mnoh in comparison with the slender requital it gives to the producers ; whilst agriculture does not produce sufficient . The nation is thus composed of producers who oannot sell , and of famished consumers who cannot bay . This lots of balance _eauies the government here , as in England , to go to China in _search of some thousands of consumers ; whilst there are millions of French , or English , who are stripped ef everything , and who , if they could purchase eoffioient food and clothing , would create a _Mmmereial movement much more considerable than that caused by the most advantageous treaties .

      J . ¦ ¦ ' THEBBMIDT . What should be done I Here it is . Oar law of equality relative to the division of property ruins agriculture . This inconvenience must be remedied by association , which , by employing every idle arm shall re-create great estateB , and increase cultivation ! without causing any disadvantage to our politioal principles . Manufacturing _industry continually draws the population into towns , and enervates them . We must recall those ib to fields , who are too numerous in towns , and invigorate their minds and bodies in the country . To accomplish a project ao worthy of the demooratio and philanthropic spirit of the age , so necessary for the general well-being , and so useful to the repose of sooiety , three things are necessary : —lit , A law . 2 nd . The advancement of funds from the budget . 3 rd , Organisation .

      Thb Law . —There are in France , according to official agricultural statistics , 9 , 190 , 000 acres of uncultivated lands belonging to government , to boroughs , ot _individiialBV These heaths , commons , or pasture lands , yield a very small rent of eight francs an acre . They , are like sunk capital benefitting no one . Let the Chambers decree that alt these uncultivated lands shall belong in right to the working association , on condition that they annually pay to the actual proprietors . the same amount whioh they receive now . Let them consign the idle acres to the idle arms , and these two nnproduotive capitals will spring into life , the one operating upon the other . Then the means will have been discovered of mitigating misery by enriching the country .

      The _OaqAifisATiON . —The unorganised mass are nothing ; united , they are everything ; without organieation they can neither speak themselves , nor make others understand them ; they oannot even receive or act upon a common impulse . On the one hand , the voice of twenty millions of men , scattered over a vast territory , is lost in echo ; on the other , there is no language sufficiently strong and persuasive to spring from a central point , and bear to twenty millions of _eongoienoes , without reeobnised _mediator , the severe doctrines of power . The reign of castes is over . We oan only govern now by the masses . It is , therefore , necessary to organise them , tbat they may reduce their wishes to form ; and to discipline them , so that they may be directed towards , and enlightened npon , their real interests .

      To govern , means no longer to rule the people by violence and phyaicai force ; bnt the art of conduct ' ing them towards a more glorious future , by appealing to their reasons and feelings . But sinoe the masses need instruction , and the government requires to ba restrained , and even enlightened , as to the interest of the greatest number , it is absolutely necessary that there should be in society two equally powerful movementa ; the aotion of power upon the mass , and the re . aotion of the mass upon power . m These separate influences cannot act without collision , exoept through mediators , who at once possess the confidence of those whom they represent , and the confidence of those who rule .

      These mediators would possess the confidence of the first , the moment they were freely eleoted by them ; and they would deserve tbe confidence of the _sesond , the moment they filled an important plaoe in sooiety ; for oae may say in general , that man is that which the functions he performs obliges him to be . Guided by these considerations , we wish to see created between the workmen and their employer ! , an intermediate class , enjoying rights legally _recognised , and elected by the whole mass of

      workmen . To avoid tbe reproach of exaggeration , we will suppose that two-thirds of these nine millions of aores ean be given up to the associations , and that the remainder may be either _un-arable or occupied by houses , rivers , canals , < _bs . There will remain 6 , 127 , 000 sores to be cleared . This work would be rendered possible by the creation of agricultural colonies , which , when _soattered all over Franoe , would form the basis of a Bingle and vast organisation , of whioh all the poor workmen might be members although net individual proprietors . [ But , in time , as will afterwards be seen , collective proprietors . ] The Funds . —The necessary advance of money for the creation of these colonies ought to be furnished by the state . According to our estimate , 800 mil lions of francs or £ 12 . 000 000 , payable in four years , wonld be required ;

      After the lapse of that time these colonies , by affording the means of existence to a great mass of workmen , would be a direot benefit . At the end of ten years , the government might levy a land tax of eight millions of francs , or £ 320 , 000 , without counting the natural increase of indirect taxes , whioh always augment in proportion to the consumption , whioh expands with the general comfort of the people . This advance of 300 millions of _franes would not then be a sacrifice , but a magnificent investment of money ; and conld the State , on contemplating the grandeur of the objeot , refuse it , whilst annually expending forty-six millions of franca in preventing or

      punishing attacks made upon property ; whilst _sacrificing every year 300 millions of francs in teaching the trade of soldiering ; and whilst proposing an expenditure of 120 millions ot francs inthe construction of new prisons ? In short , the nation which without perishing gave 2 , 000 millions to the invaders ef France , which without murmuring paid 1 , 000 mil lions to emigrants , whioh without alarm expended 300 millions on the fortifications of Paris ; will that nation , I ask , hesitate to advance 300 millions in four years to abolish pauperism , to relieve the community ofthe enormous burdens imposed by misery , and te augment the territorial wealth by more tban 1 , 000 millions ?

      This intermediate class would form the corps of managers or overseers . We should like all the working men to assemble in their respective communes every year , and proceed to the eleotion of their reprsentatives or overseers , in the proportion of one to every ten workmen . Good conduct would be the sole qualification . Every manufacturer , or farmer , or any tradesman whatever , should be compelled by law to have a manager whenever he employed more than ten workmen ; and to pay him double the amonnt of a common workman .

      These managers would perform amongst the work * ing classes the same duty that noncommissioned officers do in the army ; they would compose the first step in the social hierarchy , stimulating the laudable ambition of ail , by showing them a recompense easy ts be obtained _. Elevated ia their own estimation by the datfei

      The President Of The French Republic .On...

      they had to perform , they would be compelled to set an example of good conduot .- According to this plan , every ten of the workmen would contain w * thiu themselves the germ of perfection . The que 3 tion of giving an impulse to the mass , of enlightening them , of- appealing to them , and of causing thera to aot , is found to rest simply in the relation which one bears to ton . Suppose thereare twenty-five millions of men , who exist by labour alone , there would be two millions and a half of managers or intermediate agents , to whom they oould appeal with greater confidence , beoause they participate at onoe in the interests of those who obey , as well as of those who command .

      These managers would be divided into two classes . The first would belong to private industry ; the second would be employed in the agricultural establishments . And , we repeat , this different mission would bb the result of the right of direot eleotion by all the working classes .

      AGHICOTTCHAri C 3 L 02 HB 9 . Let us suppose that the three preceding measures have been adopted . The twenty-five millions oi aotual workmen have their representatives , and the fourth part of the agricultural area of France ie their property , supposing they did , as they moat assuredly would in the end , purchase the aotual proprietorship ! In eaoh department of France , and in the first instance , wherever the uncultivated lands were , agricultural colonies wonld be established , offering food , education , religions instruction , and work , to all who required them ; and God knows the number is great in Franca .

      The managers of these colonies would be in proportion of one to ten , as in private business . Above the managers there would be direotors , whose duties would be to teach agriculture . These direotors would be eleoted by the workmen and managers combined . Before they were eligible they would require to produce proof of a praotioal knowledgeof agriculture . Finally , above the directors , managers , and workers , there would boa governor for each colony . He would be nominated by the united direotors and

      managers . The administration would be composed of the governor _, one-third of tha direotors , and _twe-thirds of the managers . » A severe discipline would reign over these colonies . Life would there be salutary but rongh , for their object is not to hatch idlers , but to ennoble men by healthy and remunerative labour , as well as by moral eduoation . The workmen and their families weuld be treated in the simplest manner possible . Lodging , fond , and clothing would be regulated by the army tariff ; for military organisation is the only ono whioh is baaed at once on the comfort of all its members and the strictest economy . These establishments , however , wonld not be military , tbey would only borrow from the army its admirable order , and that wonld be all .

      The army iB simply an organisation . The workieg class wonld form an assentation . These two bodies differ in principle and object-Until the colony yielded profit , all the _workmen would be lodged in barracks constructed like military ones . These healthy constructions , built on a small scale , wonld contain ten men and their overseers , or one family . As soon as the receipts surpass the expenses , the barracks would be replaced by more healthy buildings , ereoted according to a matured plan . Accessory buildings would then be added to afford tho members of the colony and their children both civil and religious instruction .

      Finally , vast hospitals would be built for the iofi'H , and for those whose age made labour impossible : Every year the accounts would be published , laid _befars the general assembly of workmen , and submitted to the general connoil of the department for their approval , who would likewise have the right to discharge the manager or direotors who had exhibited any incapacity . Every year the governors of the colonies would nave to proceed to Paris , and there , under the pre--idence of the Minister of the Interior , discuss the best means of employing their funds , for the general benefit ofthe association .

      ¦ _flBCBlFTS AM > _IZTBtOBSi According to our supposition , the working men ' s association would have to claim two-thirds of uncultivated _lands , or 6 , 127 . 000 acres . To ascertain how much these aores wonld yield , if subjected to proper cultivation , without any being left fallow , we have made the following calculation ;—The number of acres of cultivated lands in all Franoe , is 19 314 . _741 The natural and artificial prairies 5 , 774 , 745 Total 25 , 089 , 486 The rough value of the produce of these lands is : — Forthe arable soil 3 479 , 583 . 005 For the prairies 666363 , 412

      Total 4 , 145 946 417 fr . The average produce ner acre , for , seed or prairie lands , would rise to 165 francs per acre . On the other hand , there are in France 51 , 568 , 845 domestic animals of every hind , wbicb give a rough produce of 767 , 251 , 851 francs , without comprising tbe value of meat consumed . Taking one with the other , eaoh head of cattle produces 15 F ., and as those animals are fed on twenty-six millions of acres , it will make two for each acre . We may say that the average produce of each aore is 195 francs , 165 from the land and 30 from the animals . Our 6 , 127 000 aores

      put into cultivation or pasture , would yield from the rough produce of the soil 1 , 010 , 955 . 000 francs , and from the produce of animals 183 , 810 , 000 , making a total of 1 , 194 , 765 . 000 _frincai Deduct from that Bum the amount these lands now produoe—viz ., 54 , 709 , 364 francs , and the territorial wealth would be augmented by 1 , 140 , 855 , 636 francs . Let us now estimate the expense . To assist our calculations , let us suppose that the lands to be cleared are equally spread over each political division of France . We would have then to divide the number of acreB by 86 , wbioh would leave for eaoh department 71241 aores .

      Fixing twenty years as the time after whioh all these lands should be cultivated , there would be for eaoh department 3 , 562 aores to clear annually . The number of hands required for this work oould be regulated thus : one workman would on an average dear three acres annually , as he can do two of woodland or four of turf . But , as-we must calculate sickness , and likewise , that after the second year the workmen would be obliged to attend to the cultivation of the soil , and assist the agricultural families , who would be annually augmenting , we will suppose that only two aores are annually cleared . It would be necessary , then , to employ 1 , 781 work * men to accomplish the work in twenty years , and as there would be cleared annually 3 , 562 aores , the colony would receive every year 120 families to assist in the cultivation of those cleared lands .

      A large landed proprietor informs us , that under the old system of agriculture , of wheat , corn and fallow alternating , it was necessary to employ on a farm of 150 aores , eight _domestios , Bix thrashers , and twenty harvest men . Under the new system , where the pastures are replaced by green crops re . quiring weeding , one hand more wonld be required eaoh year . We have calculated two beaBts per acre in France . The eolony would then annually purchase donble the number of cattle to the aores which they had cleared during the preceding year ; Thus during the interval of twenty years , theoolouy would have ita receipts and expenses _pregressi- < e ' y increasing .

      The receipts , without counting the first government advances , would be composed of the periodical augmentation of 8 , 562 acres , and their annual increases in value ; for admitting that each acre yields 195 francs , the lands would not produce that amonnt , exoept at the end of three years , and after four years of cultivation . That is to say , each aore after being oleared would yield tbe first year 65 francs , the second 130 , and each succeeding year 195 francs , Ab forthe expenses independent of the first outlay , the expenditure wonld be continually renewed , such as for the payment of 1781 workmen aud 120 families , the rent due to boroughs or individuals , seed , outbouses , management , and 7 , 124 beasts to purchase . Besides there would be each year a regular increase in expenses caused by the maintenaice of 120 new families , and the erection of barracks to lodge .

      Eaoh workman would receive the pay of a soldier , and eaoh family that of three workmen . Clothbg would be cheaper for the . workman than for the soldier ; but we will oaloulate it at the market price . Each man would annually cost , including everything , 318 francs . * The managers would receive the pay of non-commissioned officers ; the directors that of officers ; and the governor that of a colonel .

      EMPLOYMENT AND ADTAHCB OY WA _6 BB . All the poor , all who were out of work , would find in them means of employing mind and body for the benefit of the entire community . The poor of one department could remove to the colony of the next ; or cultivated lands might be purchased , which , although unprofitable to individuals , might be advantageous to an association . It is clear that the workman who was always snre to find aliving inthe agricultural colonies would not accept of private employment unless the letter presented greater benefits than the former ; hence a remunerative scale of wages would always be maintained . * . Let us not be acoused of _dresmicgofan impossibility . We have only to recall te mind the example of the famous English East India Company . What is it bat tut _associutioa like that which wa

      The President Of The French Republic .On...

      propose , whose results , although astonishing , are not so favourable to humanity as that which we call for with all our heart and soul ;

      RSVIBW AND CONCLOSION . In the summary view we have given of the benefits , we have kept within the truth ; for the cultivation of a fourth part of the uncultivated laads would not only increase by a quarter the rongh revenue of Franoe , bnt this isorease of wealth would give to all branches of national industry an immense stimulus , whioh is more easy to understand than explain in all its details . Not only would these colonies prevent , in twenty years , mere than a million of human beings from

      languishing in misery , not only wonld they support a host of workmen in connexion with agriculture , bat the annual exchange of 800 millions of franos worth of land products for others would increase consumption and improve the home market . This demand would present an outlet for all the fruits of industry more _considerable than the most advantageous commercial treaties would effect , because the 800 millions of franos valne , surpass by 156 millions the value of all our exportations , whioh only amount to 644 millions of _irancB .

      To make this reasoning more apparent and to show the vast importance ofthe home market , let us suppose these agricultural colonies were not within our territorial boundary , hut > eparated _from'the continent by an arm of the sea , and aline of custom-house officers , and that they were nevertheless comp elled to have no commercial dealings except with France . It is clear that if their agricultural produoe realised profits of 800 millions of francs , tbat sum would ba exchanged for various continental produce . It mayb 8 presumed that these colonies , from the nature of the soil , will produce grain and cattle , ratber than wioe . But by augmenting the quantity of wheat , and of flesh meat , they would lower the price of common necessaries and increase consumption by putting them within reach of the working classes .

      To sum up . The system which wa propose ie tbe result of all the ideas whioh have emanated from the most able political economists of the last half century . In M . Gouin ' s Statistical and Official Agricultural Report , page xxviii , the Minister _deolares tbat the _i-reatest progress to be obtained is by reclaiming the waste lands whioh do not yield more than eight franos per acre . Our project realises tbat idea . Our project confers upon the unemployed all that is oaloulated to improve the condition of man , comfort , education , order , and the chance which is afforded everyone of elevating himself by his own merit ahd industry . Our organisation tends to nothing less than tbe making , in the course of a few _vears , the poorer olasses the richest association in all France .

      According to our system wages would be fixed , as all human things ought to be regulated , not by force , but according to _theijust equilibrium established between the wants of those who toil and the necessities of those who provide work . In the _present day all Book to Paris , which as a centre absorbs all the energies of the country ; our system , without injuring the centre , would carry life to the furthest extremities , by bringing into aotion eighty-six new systems , working under the direotion of the government . What is wanting to realise such a projeot ? One year s pay of tha army , fifteen timeB the sum given to America , or an expense equal to that employed on the fortifications of Paris . This advance would after twenty years , bring back to France 1000 millions , to the working olasses 800 millions , and a revenue of thirty-seven millions of francs _.

      Let the government put enr projeot into _execution , modifying it according to ( he experience of men well versed in snch complicated matters , and who may supply useful hints and cast new lights upon them . Let It take to heart tbe great ' national _tntereaia . Let [ it establish the co * sfort of the masses , on an immovable basis , and it will become immovable itself . Poverty would no longer become seditious , when it was no longer oppressive . a It is a great and holy mission , and worthy of man ' s highest ambition to strive to subdue human nature , to heal all wounds , to soothe the ( offerings of huma

      nity , by uniting the people of the' same country in one common Interest , and . by accelerating that future whioh civilisation will sooner or later usher in . In the beginning of the lest century La Fontaine uttered this sentence , whioh is too often true , but always sad and so destructive of sooiety erder , and hierarchies . ' I tell you in plain Frenoh our enemy is our master . ' Iu the present day tbe aim of every wiae government should be to bring about a time , when it might be said , 'the triumph of Christianity has destroyed slavery : the triumph ot * the French revolution has destroyed servitude , and the triumph of democracy has destroyed pauperism .

      Thk ' Turn" new Pmsting _Machihb . —The Times , in a long leading article , gives a description of a printing machine , which has been for the past two months in nse in that office , whereby the extraordinary number of 140 copies can be thrown off in a minute . It is a machine having eight cylinders . Hitherto , the rate at which it has been worked is about 1000 revolutions per hour , or 8000 _imprea-Bions ; but it is probable that it will be ultimately worked to 12 , 000 copies an hour . The Bame of the gentleman who constructed tbis wonderful piece of mechanism is Mr Augustus Applegarth of Dartford .

      Riligiow of the Shopocbaot . —Christianity is fast degenerating am 9 Dg tbem from a living power to a lifeless form—from a prinoiple to a sentimentfrom an inward motive tf an outward profession , It is sicking into a routine of devotional exercises , the effects of whioh terminate with themselves . It puts orthodoxy in the place ef reverenoe for truth—and substitutes _peouniary . _subscriptiotslfor active personal exertion . It is an agency to be worked pretty exclusively by ministers . It buildB np ' interests , ' instead of grappling with evils . It aspires to be gen

      teel , rather than irresistible . Its love of justice is not allowed to make a disturbance at home—if it wants play , it muBt go to a distance . Its charity prefers foreign objects . Taking it * for all in all , ' it strikes one as an almost impenetrable mass of _conventionalism—net positively dead , but completely overlaid—sickly , fanciful , feminine—as an existence dwindling-into nominalism—asa life , fast decaying —as a power , all but void of effioienoy . Of course , there are exceptions—but , in the main , we fear , such is the religionism of the middle olasses of our

      times . The Empbrob op Russia ' s Household Guaud — This cavalry corps is the Emperor ' s pride , and is the flower of his household brigade . The finest men in the army are drafted into it . aud their uniform and appointments are superb . The men are as nearly as possible of the same height , and nniformity is carried eut to an absurd extent . Tbose whose upper lips are so disloyal as not to be productive of a sufficient growth of hair are corked and painted , that all may look alike ; and the expenditure ef cotton must be immense , for one man is taken as a standard and the rest are padded all over to bring them ont to that shape and size . Suoh a youthful regiment I have seldom Been , and consequently the blaok brush is in great requisition . At a little distance the effect is

      splendid , and even when olose the making up is to admirably done that it is difficult to distinguish the really muscular from the stuffed and bolstered men afwar . The uniform is very similar to our Life Guards , but white , with silver appointments ; and instead of our plume in the helmet they wear tbe spread eagle , which makes a most beautiful and becoming military head-dress . Instead of the cuirass , on this oooasion , they wore a red coverlet , with a yellow star in the front , an old usage still _preserved on state ocoaeiona . Tbe Emperor appears as Colonel of tfae regiment , and in which uniform he appears by far the best . He is followed by his aides-de-camp ; he inspeots the troops as he passes along ; those he has inspected set up a meohanioal Bhout , a sort ol howl of approval ( very different from the hearty

      cheer we bear from British _tisops . ) This howl continues , perpetually increasing in volume , till the whole are reviewed , when , passing to the centre , the Emperor waves his royal gauntlet , and a death-like a * illness prevails . The army is a sort of automaton ; every eye ie centered upon him ; be pulls the wires by a nod or look , and the machine performs its work . The religion , which teaches them that God and the Emperor' ate the first to be reverenced , gives them the idea that in the capacity of their king he is more than human , and they worship bim accordingly ; the devotion ot the Russian to hia Emperor is astonishing . The _Rissian uncovers on tie approach ofthe Emperor , and remains so until he takes his departure , which may not be for hours ; it wou'd be saorilege to cover the head in his august presence . —Atkinson's Pictures of the North . be

      Criticism of Am . — A small crowd gathered - fore a window recently to admire the figure of a cat that was there , aa if for pablio inspection . Nearly every one was delighted with its likeness to life . ' But still , ' said Augustus , ' there are faults in it : it ia far from perfect ; observe the defeot in the fore shortenin g of that paw , now -, and the expression of that eye , too , is bad ; besides , the mouth is too far down under the chin , while thewhi'kers look aa if they were coming out of her ears . It is too short , too . ' Bat , as if to obviate this defect , the fLure stretched itself and rolled over in the fun . ' It is a cat , I vow , ' eaid a bystander . It ' _rf alive ! ' shouted an urchin , clapping hiB hands . 4 Why , it ' s only a oat , arter all , ' exclaimed Mrs Partington , as she surveyed it through her specs ; but Augustus moved on , disappointed that nature had fallen so short of his ideas of perfection in the manufacture of cats .
