THE " WAR QF PRINCIPLES . " Brother Proletjlriaxs , There is a political tradition that Cannin predicted that the next European War would De a War of Princi p les . Canning himself scoffed at principles—at least every principle of Justice . A flash y impostor , a brazen-faced , heartless adventurer , he affectedtopasshimself off as a " Liberal , " whilst , iu reality , he was the most implacable foe of freedom , and the worst , because the cleverest , of the gang of villains who cursed England with their rule in those dark days ef slavery and degradation wliich intervened between the fall of Napoleon and the ousting of Chaiu . es the Tenth .
Bat though a heartless and scoffing enemy of just p rinci ples , Cannin g was no fool . He had the wit to see that though the system whieh had Deen inaugurated at . "Vienna in 1815 mig ht last for a generation or two , its doom was certain and not far distant . Hence the prediction with which he is credited . That prediction is in course of fulfilment . THE
WAR OF PRINCIPLES HAS COMMENCED I -As yet the struggle is confined to one or two localities ; but it needs no . ghost come from the grave to warn us that a conflagration throughout Europe is at hand . I feel assured that amongst those whom I address there is not one whose . heart is not palp itating with exultation and anxiety , in consequence of the glorious , yet ominous , news _-frornHnngary . The extraordinary victories achieved by Bem , GEonGEY , Dembinski , and the other Hungarian commanders , nave Deeh followed np h y an act which must influence for good or evil the destinies of entire Europe . In solemn conclave the magnates and representatives of the people have
declared HUNGAHY FREE AND INDEPENDENT . Kossuth the man of 1848-4 ° — at this moment the greatest man in Europe—Kossuth proposed the utter extinction of Austrian rule in Hungary , now and evermore ; and with one "voice , one heart , one soul , his compatriots applauded , seconded , and declared the adoption of his proposition . Most important of the events of this wonder-working time ! Henceforth thc struggle in Eastern Europe is not hetween BO-called " rebels" and their Tnlers , tot hetween a _xatiox , a people , and the tyrants of surrounding States combined to tread out the life of that nation , and lay the spirit ofthat people in a red sea of blood and destruction .
Even before the Hungarians had declared their independence , the hellish compact had been signed and sealed by which the gore-dyed miscreant of Russia bound himself to succour his "brother" of Austria with 150 , 000 ofhis savage hordes to put down the Hungarians . These crowned brigands are ever the same ; the present Austrian Kaiseii is but a copy of the last . The cretin , who lately resigned the Imperial Crown , closed bis " paternal" career by bombarding "his capital" and devoting bis " beloved Viennese" to rapine , rape , and massacre , at the hands of bis loyal Croatian
savages . Some fools and knaves , trumpeting the youth ofthe new Emperor , proclaimed the immediate re-cstablishmcnt of peaceful , halcyon days . But , as Byron has written : — " Each brute hath its nature , a king ' s is to reign-To reign 1 in that word see , ye ages , comprised The cause of the curses all annals contain , From _Ctesar the dreaded to George the despised I " And , true to his brute-nature , the youthful Kaiser began hi 3 reign by devoting the principal portion of "his empire" to the horrors
of fire and sword , and atrocities which devils would shrink from , but which princes and statesmen cooll y design , and their brutal tools too faithfull y execute . Worse still , he has called in forei gn Lordes to assist him to reduce Ms people to slavery . He lias declared an impious war against humanity itself , by p lotting for Hungary the frightful doom of Poland . Well , well ; the Imperial savage bas madeliiselection . He has abandonedthesceptre for the sword . He Las preferred to reign Ly terror , than to rule by j ustice . He has proclaimed himself tlie vassal ofthe Autocrat , the
deputy and slave ofthe _^ Northern Executioner May be find his reward ! Brother _Proletarians , reflect for a moment on the consequences that may , that are almost certain to result from the Russian invasion of Hungary , and the declaration of Hungarian Independence . Rather than allow that independence to be consummated , tlie Autocrat will , if possible , send twice one hundred and fifty thousand troops into Hungary . "If possible" ( 1)—for such a nnmDer of troops withdrawn from the defence of the Russian territory , would certainly induce another rising in Poland , and , very likely , revolution _, in Russia itself ! But both Polish and Russian
revolutions are extremely probable , even should only 150 , 000 Russians enter Hungary Assailed by Russia the Hungarians will , in all probability , carry the war into the enemy ' s country . The Hungarian standard on the Polish side ofthe Carpathian mountains , will re-animate the White Eagle , and then woe to the Russian Bear ! Other oppressed nationalities will assert their independence ; and not improbabl y the Turks and Swedes will join in the conflict , to take vengeance for past and presentwrongs .
This day ' s papers—which I have only seen Since the above paragrap hs were writtenstrengthen my anticipations ofthe effects likely to flow from the Russian invasion of Hungary . Bem—the Polish hero , Bem—has addressed a proclamation to Ins countrymen , calling on them to rise for Poland , and rallv around then ' own country ' s standard . His appeal is likely to be answered with enthusiasm . I look for even more than this . Unless the Magyars , as politicians , are content to lose by inaction all that they have gained by their energy as
warriors , they will summon other peoples as wpH as the Poles to rise for tlie deliverance of Europe . Now is the crisis of Hungary ' s fate . If her sons make a half revolution , themselves and their country will perish . II , on the other band , they proclaim a war of desnocrucy against kings and despotisms , they cannot fail to victoriously achieve their own freedom , and the freedom of both Eastern and Central Europe . Let them fling the Red Flag to the breeze , and Hungary , Poland , and Germany will be saved , and the enemies of Freedom annihilated .
Already the Germans demand to be led against Russia . But it is not merely against the Muscovite Autocrat the Germans desire to proclaim war . The war of the Germans against their own Kings and Princes is at hand . That combination of fool and tyrant , the King of Prussia , is doing bis best to hasten the establishment of the Red Reptjbi . ic . He has no objection to be Emperor , but he will wear an absolute crown . He proclaimed himself a Constitutional King" "With no objection to true liberty-, nations free
_^ _re _^ tthatit would make the . " And , therefore , he volunteers his royal aid to all distressed princes . He will stem the waves of _devolution . Be ! As well might Dame Partington attempt to dry up the Atlantic with her mop , Frederick William will protect bis brother princes from the convulsions of the times . Poor fool ! His own throne is not secure & r a week , a day , an hour . I tell you , all Germany is undermined . _ The insurrection at Dresden is but tbe rambling ofthe coming political earthquake . Tbiafc " uprending , overturning , _s-md scattering of . thrones , crowns , and _sseptres will come ; and in that hour the cheats ,

liars , robbers , and assassins , _whoiaye so long deluded and tormented the German people , will be buried beneath the ruins of the system , b y whieh they have lived and reigned , hut through which they will fall and perish , utterl y and for ever . And mark you this : it will bo the turn of the Proletarians next time . No more _bouroeois-rulc ; no more Frankfort-Diet delusions ; no more hollow-hearted , empty-headed praters with whom " payment of members" is the one grand " point" of reform . The men of deeds not words will come ; the men of the future who will orate not with the jaw , but with the strong right arm ; men who will ( in their own way ) carry out the great Athenian ' s recipe for eloquence : — - " Action , Action , Action ' . " ,
The invasion of Ital y by the French has thus far been productive of defeat and disgrace to the invaders . After two attempts to enter Rome , in which the French lost about two hundred men killed , and from four to five hundred wounded , General Oudinot Was fain to beat a retreat ; nor did he cease his " advance backwards" until he had put a good few miles between himself and the brave Romans . Strengthened by reinforcements and b y the arriv al ofhis siege-train , the French General may probabl y ere now have made . another attempt to take the city , and may too . have
succeeded . It appears from this day's papers that the Neapolitans have entered tiie Roman States , and that the Austrians were marching on Bologna . With this Holy Alliance of cutthroats against them the Romans are nearly certain to be _overpowered . Aided by this trinity-in-unity of assassins , the Po e ean hardly fail to recover his temporal supremacy . But for how long ? As long , perhaps , as foreign armies occupy Rome , but certainly no longer . Pius waa the venerated idol of the Romans ; he is now and for evermore the most execrated ofthe hypocrites and murderers who
have filled St . Peter ' s chair . The most execrated , because , _pre-eminentl y _iAe , : traitoi ¦ of the _ljne . Old Gre gory was simply a gloomy ; old tyrant , and willing tool of : tyrants . ; but he was not guilty of the hypocrisy and treason which have blasted , the reputation , and made eternall y infamous the name , of PlUB the Ninth . When the . Italians demanded his countenance of an Italian war of liberation , to drive out the Austrians , the hol y hypocrite affected a pious horror of bloodshed , and refused to give the signal for Freedom ' s struggle .
Having lost his popularity , and' fled " from Rome in the disguise of aflunkey , this precious , peace-loving Pope forthwith set about conspiring a civil war amongst the people he had fled from . By threats of excommunication , and blasphemous anathemas , he tried to operate on the relig ious prejudices of thepeasantry , and induce them to march against the capital . He failed , and now he gives his blessiug to three armies of foreign invaders , who aim at re-erecting his throne on the smoking ruins of Rome , and the ' lifeless bodies of the devoted Romanpeople !
A thousand maledictions on the traitors who have brought eternal dishonour on France , b y directing French soldiers to the fratricidal work of destroying the -Roman Republic . Honour to those Frenchmen , who , in Rome , have sworn to defend that city even against their own countrymen 2 Honour , to those French soldiers , who , deserting the _standard of Hypocrisy to . fight by the side of the
Romans , instead of against them , have thereby shown their fidelity tothe princip les of thenown revolution ! But perdition to all who follow Oudinot , for " then * mission is the work of hell . " _> And , above all , perdition—a thousand fold—to the rulers of France—the traitors and hypocrites who haye betrayed the Republican cause ; and rendered the very name _cftheh-country a by-word and a mockery .
If the people of France are not utterly changed in then * nature ; if they are not the mere miserable counterfeits of their fathers ; if they are not dead to shame , and utterly insensible to the appeals of honour , they will at once bring the traitors to justice , and hasten —though late , to repair the evil , and . atone for the crimes done in their ( the French people ' s ) name . This they may peaceabl y if they will . A signal opportunity is afforded them at this very time to prove their virtue , and the efficacy of Universal Suffrage . On Sunday next , the 13 th inst ., the general election of representatives to the new Assembly
will commence . If the French people "know their ri g hts , and knowing , dare maintain them ;" ° if they love liberty , and would " do unto others as they would be done unto , "they will elect an Assembly pledged to impeach Buonaparte , _BAnrvOT , Faucher , and the rest of the traitors ; and pledged also to annul , abrogate , and set aside all the acts and policy—domestic and foreign— -of Mr . Special-Constable BUONAPARTE , and his worthy cornrogues . It is as plain as a . _pike-stalf that Buonaparte is sold to the league of tyrants . His mission is to betray the Republic , and accomplish the counter-revolution .
Would thatmy voice could reach the French people , or the words I pen be laid before them , thus would I appeal to our brethren : — _FRENCHMEN , FlUENDS , AND _BkOTHERS . The g lorious Revolution of February , 1848 , aimed you with a power which your Republican Constitution " solemnly confirms and guarantees—the power of self-government , throug h the exercise ofthe Sum-age by ballot , direct and Universal . On the wise exercise of that power depends , not merely your own welfare , but also , in a great measure , that of other
nations . If , through the peaceful medium of the ballot-box , you succeed in establishing a state of veritable freedom and social justice , you will more than benefit yourselves , you will resolve the question of European progression . Once that you present the spectacle of a really free and happy people , the flag of your Republic will " make the tour of the world . ' ' If success crowns your Republican experiment , your Republican institutions will inevitably take root in all the
States of Europe , and the fraternity of nations will be accomplished . But , if that experiment fails—if by your unwise exercise of your citizen rights ; you allow royalist conspirators to rule and legislate in the name ofthe Republic for the Republic ' s destruction , you will more than ruin yourselves . The Republic overthrown , or , worse st ill , brought into odium and contempt , positive absolutism will be re-established throughout Europe . Universal Suflrage self-vanquished in France , will be the deadliest blow ever inflicted upon
Liberty . - You are nor called upon to decide between the enemies and defenders of your new-born liberties _^ -between those who would restore the hateful past , and those who desire a happier future . Duty to yoursclves-your children—your brethren of other landsdemands that you reject the former and elect the latter . ' _..- , .. ' ' It is the hope of every honest man m Euro pe that you will reject the enemies ol
the Republic , whether they belong to me Legitimist , the Bourgeois-Royalist , or the Imperial faction . Set aside the men who , by then * crimes and oppressions _^ under the Monarchy , imposed upon you the necessity of a Revolution . Set aside the men who , under the Republic , have unceasingly plotted a counter-revolution ; the men who have brutally violated the freedom of speech , and of the press ; persecuted the founders of the Republic , and established a system of = veritable terrorism . Set aside the men who have
done their best to bring eternal infamy upon France , by . abandoning the afflicted peoples to the rage of their Royalist executioners : and who , worse still have committed the fratricidal guilt of marshalling the forces of

To Feargus O'Connor, Esq., M. P. Dear Si...
TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sir , —There have been a great many _lettera received in this locality froih that nondescript Thomason , some of them by persons entirely unconnected with—nay , I had almost said hostile to , —the Chartist party . These letters were uniformly filled with the most violent attacks , malicious insinuations , and inuendos against your own character , the Star , and many Of the Other leaders of the Charter and Land movements , together with the most infamous lying attacks , and malevolent insinuations against the character of some of the individuals in particular , and of the parties in general with whom ho used to act when residing in this locality . It was thought that tho miserable wretch who could pen such extraordinary calumnies and send many of them
to the very persons who knew that—in as far as regards _everything connected with this locality—they were a parcel of downright lies , must have been-insane . And as wc believed that tlie charges against yourself and the other leaders were ' equally false , it was agreed to treat him with that degree of silent respect that a person in his unfortunate condition is entitled to receive . Latterly ; however , the opinion that he is more knave than fool has been generally adopted in this place , consequently , I took the liberty of enclosing one ofhis letters in the last communication which I sent to you withregard tothe charges that he made in the letter whieh appeared in the Star ofthe 14 th April—the parties referred to will speak for themselves .
I am , dear Sir , yours most respectfully , jAMiS M'Initre . TO F . O ' CONXOR , ESQ ., M . _P ., PROPRIETOR & C , OF THE " NORTIIERX STAR . " - _.., . Respected Sir , — "We , the . undersigned , having been members of the school society , and of the ci . m-eh . lhat engaged Thomason , to not in the oa Eacity of teacher and preacher , in this locality , have ad our attention directedto the following paragraph of that person ' s letter which appeared in the ' Star of tho 14 th April * : viz . . ' "I was literally robbed by a portion of the Chartist party , of my books , chest , and clothes , when in the "West of Scotland , and a sum of monoy due me , £ 17 3 s 2 d . " Being the parties referred to . wo beg leave to give the _following
brief account of our connexion with him : lie came to this place early in the year 1841 , when he was engaged to teach and prbach in the Democratic seminary . A salary of 25 s . per week was guaranteed to him , provided , however , that he attended _regularly five days per week , and discharged his duties faithfully . lie commenced his school with from 150 to 160 pupils , but , in consequence of his gross negligence , the number of his scholars soon dwindled down to about twenty . In fact , his conduct was a complete burlesque upon teaching . At one time he would be absent day after day , ' perhaps nearly a week at a time , nobody knowing where he was ; at other times , he was to be seen loitering about the streets during school hours . The children , meanwhile , in consequence of being- left entirely to themselves _' ¦ enjoyed such glorious fun , "
that the whole neighbourhood was deaved with the noise : while , at the very best , he would leave his school in tho hands of any inexperienced working man or lad that he could happen to find idle at thc timo . Yet , nevertheless , being unwilling to do anything that would have the slightest appearance of harshness , and as we took him to . he an easy goodtured kind of a mortal , we occasionally remonstrated with him and gave him good advice , and continued for a number of . months more to pay him his salary in full . Ultimately , however , we told him plainly , that as he had entirel y failed to discharge his dut y to us , that we were unable and unwilling to continue paying him his salary any longer , arid that he was to consider his connexion with us at an end . He
then entreated us to try and give him a few shillings a week , and as he was a single man he thought he could live till trade got better . This was about ' tlio beginning of 1842 , and trade was fearfull y bad , yet we made a determined effort and gave him on an average about 7 s . or 8 s . a week , for doing next to nothing ; as long as he remained here , ana we may state that very few of the families who contributed to make up this sum were in the receipt of so large an income . Thus , you will perceive , that so far from owing him anything , we , in point of fact , gave him mudi more than he was entitled to receive .
Having been compelled to say so much in self-defence , we will now show you how ho fleeced two or three ofhis own flock ;' we could extend the number considerably , but we g ive these as mere samples of that worthy ' s love ot honesty and plain dealing . When he came . here first he was like a beggar , and as it was absolutely necessary that he should have a respectable appearance , Robert _Pi-cebairi _) , being brother-in-law to . Mr . Thomas M'Keehnie , tailor , and clothier , Glasgow , became surety for two entire suits of clothes ofthe very best quality , which Thomason received from that gentleman . ; the one suit was for the pulpit , and the other to make him appear respectable as a teacher : they cost about £ 9 , sterling and all that we could induce him
( Thomason ) to payTor them ( if wc except a great deal of gratuitous insolent abuse ) was 30 s . which leaves a balance of £ 7 10 s sterling . Hc received from James Buchatinan , a hard-working shoemaker , a pair of boots , and several mendings amounting in all to about £ 1 , and made his exit without paying a single farthing of them . lie boarded with Mrs . Aitken , a poor old widow woman , who now resides in Kilbarchan , and the heartless wretch decamped owing her nearly £ 8 sterling . Theso three sums alone amount to about £ 16 sterling . As it regards his chest , he owes George Ferguson , ( now in America ) the price of it ; it is now in Mrs . Aitkcn _' s possession and she would be very glad to see Mr . Thomason coming to take it away . As to
his boots and clothes , he knows best about them himself ; he carried oft' everything of the kind that he could lay his hands on in a huge black bag . There was more than one bookseller in this place who _gained a loss by having him for a customer ; and fie was not content with cajoling the booksellers , for you mustknowthatiic could and did borrow , and in too many cases never returned the publications to their proper owners . But there is no use in lengthening out this black catalogue , wc have _^ s . aid sufficient to vindicate our own characters , anil to caution the Chartist body against being deceived by the " "Wandering Window-breaker . " We hope that you will , in accordance with the notice in last Saturday ' s _Noithcm Star , insert this communication in the next number of that valuable journal , and you will much oblige . Honoured Sir ,
Yours , with every sentiment of respect , James JBuciiaxxa : _* , Robert Freebairx , Daniel Jardine . - * _l Vale of _Leven , Alexandria , May 7 th . Dear Sib , — -I may state that Thomason , over and above receiving a handsome salary for attending the Convention , iu 1842 , received 12 s . from this locality , for defraying Conventional expenses , and kept it for his own use . I am , yours , most faithfully , James _M'Ixtvre . P . S . Please insert this fact also in the next Star , and you will oblige . J . _M'l . .

Trades Meetisg Of London. The Trades Of ...
TRADES MEETISG OF LONDON . The Trades of London held a meeting at the National Hall ; High Holborn , on - Monday evening , and , as the best means of ensuring security and employment for all , recommended Universal Suffrage , Home Colonies , and Local Boards of Trade . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Kaltkober ( carver and gilder ) , was called to the chair . . Mr . A . Walton rose to move tho first resolution , setting forth " Homo Colonies , " as the best guarantee for the employment of the superabundant labour in tho market , and was loudly cheered . He said , , with the resolution he had to propose was blended a petition to thc House of Commons . Tlio great want ofthe working classes was reproductive employment , whieh was the only thing that could
prevent the misery and destitution prevailing to such an alarming extent , and raise tho wealth producers in the scale of society ; ' Their petition embraced the three primary elements of wealth—land , labour , and capital . ( Hear , hear . ) There was plenty © f land either entirely or partially uncultivated—forinstance , : iU the waste and common land , and a great portion of the crown land , which could be _appropriated to the purpose , and which only wanted touching with the hand of the skilled labourer to make it bring forth abundantly . ( Loud cheers . ) It was' a fact , that more than one-half of the building trades had been unemployed during the past winter months ; yet were ths whole ofth ' ein employed in constructing houses , as at present , it
would be most futile , as tiie number of unoccupied houses warranted him in saying .. Labour to be _beneficial must bo reproductive ; and , as it was with the building trades , so with engineers , smiths , shoemakers , tailors , & c ., < fcc . They might build houses , erect locomotives , make shoes or clothes , yet have neither house to live in , locomotive to travel with , shoes to their feet , nor clothes to their backs . ( Loud cheers . ) He repeated , their condition could only be improved by reproductive labour . Then let agriculture and manufactures be scientificall y combined , and nature and art would yield their products in abundance , to the comfort and happiness of all . The means he suggested were , that government should get a general bill passed , enclosing the
waste lands , < fec—and there were twenty-two million acres of them . Yes , let these be taken , ' andsomc treasury _notesissiied by way of loan . Theso notes would bo employed in setting the unemployed to work , and surel in this matter we should receive the support of-, the paper currency men , as it _nniat materially add tothe currencyof the country , seeing that the notes must be expended in tho purchase of seeds , implements of husbandry , & c , & c : ( Cheers . ) For his own part , he would not hesitate to forma private company to carry out the object in view , with a capital of-one million , only he know that such was the general depression amongst the working classes ; that he believed : they " would find the greatest difficulty in appropriating even one shilling
per week to 6 iichan object . He did not anticipate that any : good would be done until the working classes took up this _question with a thorough earnestness , and pressed the question on the attention of the legislature , always bearing in mind that it was not only necessary to produce woalth , but that , when wealth was producccl , it should be much more equitably distributed than at present . ( Loud cheers . ) To effect this , they must cause the land to be unlocked , and unless the masses speedily- bestirred themselves , England would soon be reduced to the position of unfortunate Ireland . ( Applause . J He had much pleasure in moving the resolution and petition . Mr . A , Campbell ( joiner ) , in seconding the motion , said the : present meeting reminded him of a
similar petition to that now proposed ; presented to the House of Commons , some twelve months sinco , by Lord Ashley , and the declaration of Lord Johii Russell , that its propositions were " wild and visionary . " It mig ht be so . Let us . ask / ' _nve tho producers well fed , well clothed , and well housed ? If so , no change is necessary ; but no—they were ill fed , worse clad , and badly housed . ( Loud shouts of " Hear , hear . " ) Well , then , a change must come , and the only question was , shall such change . be peaceable or violent ? for change was inevitable . ( Loudcheor # ) Ho contended that the loss to the country b y unemployed skill , capital , and labour was equal to one million per day ; ( Hear , hear . ) We had heard . much of friend Cobden ' s " cheap
bread and plenty to'do . " Well , " cheap bread ' . ' had come ; but where was tke " plenty to do V He ( Mr . Campbell ) contended that . if . articles became cheap the price of labour must go down with them ; hence , the necessity of reconstructing and reorganising society on a proper basis . Again , we liave the Financial Kefonners ; and lie was as much , for a well regulated system of economy as any man . But just suppose tho army and navy to be reduced —what was the consequence ? Why that , the disbanded men wero thrown on the already , overstocked labour market , rendering competition still fiercer than ever , the consequence being that wages must fall still lower . It reminded him forcibly ol * the Irishman who came over to England , aud having
asked the price of an article was told that it was sixpence . " Oh , by Jasus , " said Pat , " I could get that for twopence iu my country . " ¦' ¦ " Well , " responded the _i vendor , " then why did you come here ? " "Ah , " said Pat , " sure I could not be after getting tbe twopence . ( Laughter and applause . ) Hence , the thing necessary was . clearly reproductive labour . No man would regret to see a violent change move than he ( Mr . Campbell ) , but there was a point at which endurance became impossible . ' Such a state of things , they were . most anxious to prevent , and hence they came forward with a remedy well calcu ' ated to work out a peaceful and effective reform , and in pushing forward thoso measures they only looked forward to protection for themselves . Legal and medical men were protected by their charters ¦ but when the operatives
asked for protection , and united to obtain it , they were denounced as conspirators and punished accordingly . Ho hoped he had said enough to show them that the men of the trades now moving were moral , social , and political ; reformers . ( Cheers . ) Lord Brougham , in presenting a . petition on their account , the other day , asking for local boards of trade , had said— " lie loved the working classes , but could not respect their erroneous op inions : thc petition he was then presenting contained principles advocated in Franco by Louis Blanc . " ( The mention of Louis Blanc ' s name was received : with loud and reiterated shouts of applause . ) He had much pleasure in seoonding the motion , and hoped that tho government would listen to their prayer , and not , by their inattention to the wants and wishes of thc toilers , drive them to frenzy and despair . ( Loud cheers . )
. The resolution and petition were adopted . Mr . Isaac Wilson ( bootmaker ) , rose to move a resolution and petition , in favour of local boards of trade , and said , he know of no measure bettor calculated to serve the purpose of the working classes than local boards of trade , at which an equal portion of the employers and employed would meet together to regulate the price of wages , and then many of the low-priced masters would be ashamed for the world to know the price they at present gave as a remuneration for labour . ( Hear . ) ¦ Mr . Brixsck ( cigar maker ) , in seconding the motion ,, said ,, certain portions of the Press were tellin " the country that trade was improving , but he would like the : Press and the government to . inquire if they , the operatives , obtained sufficient wages to live on , * they would find , that if bread was twopence cheaper , wages were threepence loss in proportion . For his part , he wished Free Trade to begin in the
rig ht place . Let him go where he liked for his parson , his church , and his judge ; and , above all , let him havo a free suffrage , that he might protect himself . ( Great cheering . ) They had what was called a Board of Trade , but , what the , operatives wanted was , that labour should be . represented at those boards . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . James Osborne ( currier ) , said , if they called them guilds of trade instead of boards they were no new thing , but had existed in ages past , but the workpeople had been swindled out of them . He considered the questions propounded to be questions of life and death to the working classes . . He _thoroughly agreed with them on the question of Home Colonies on tho land , and thought they , would be best obtained through the means of local boards of trade , and he impressed on the working men to earnestly call Ion the government to set them at work .

The complainant arrived here in the Rainbow steamer , from Holland , on the 22 nd ult . j' intending to _emigrato to New York from London as soon as possible . The prisoner and another man lured him to one of Antweller ' s houBes , where they induced him to advance 45 guilders to pay his passage and 50 moro to provido an outfit , stating thrt he should sail for America the next day . Before sailing , however , ho was made drunk by Antweller , who , in connexion with Kuyzer , defrauded
him to a considerable extent , by changing some Russian notes infinitely below their valuo . The _pri 8 oncr having sinco ascertained that Tanderdcnl was still possessed of 165 guilders , told him he had better , as the London vessel had sailed , proceed at once to Liverpool , where ho would be sure to find a vessel . They then got a cab and proceeded to the railway station . On their way there tho prisoner _robkod Yanderdcal of all tho money he possessed . On arriving at the railway tho prisoner paid the poor man ' s fare , and forcing him mtoa carriage just as the train was starting , told him he should find his money , outfit , < fcc , before him at Liverpool . On arriving there , however , he discovered the fraud , and found himself in a strange place without a penny in his pocket . Ho stated the facts to tho Dutch consul , who advised him to get back to London as soon as possible and lay his case before a magistrate He was enabled to return to London bvthe
kindness ofa Dutch captain , who advanced him sixteen guilders ;—The prisoner , who persisted in denying _tluj robbery , was committed for trial . _MAllYLEBONE . — A Gexteel ScAMr . — Mr .

Joddrell's house , and that he ingratiated himself into the good graces of his daughter ,: with whom ho ran away , and a _marriago took place
between them at Whitechapei Church . Sir " Paul and her ladyship were averse to the match , aiid neither of them had sinco been upon friendl y terms with defendant , who had assaulted his wife violently on the 20 th ult .,-but she did not then press the charge against him ; ho had since abused her and threatened her in the terms before _aUuded to , and she was fearful that he would do her some injury ; he had unfortunately given himself up to habits of intemperance , and she had in more than one instance assaulted by him ; for the last assault he was brought hefore this Court , but as she had no wish to punish him , as hc had promised not to molest her any more , he was discharged on paying 5 s . for being drunk . —Mr .

Servant asd Sunday School Teacher , —C . Hunt , town traveller in the firm of Messrs . Hart and Co ., extensive trimming manufacturers , in Union-street , was charged with plundering his employers . —It appeared , that the above firm had missed property to a considerable amount , but no suspicion was excited against the prisoner , who held a confidential situation in their _emjiloy , and the utmost confidence was reposed in him , the more particularly as he was supposed to be of a religious turn of mind and was class teacher of a Sunday school . On the preceding day , however , during the absence of tho principals ofthe firm , he was obsovved by one of the clerks to leave the warehouse with a large package , which he took out into thc street , and the latter suspecting that it was property , which ho intended to steal , went after him , and requested that he would return , which he reluctantly did , when it was found that the package contained a large quantity of superfine
cloth . On this discovery the prisoner begged for mercy , declaring that it was his first offence , but when his . lodgings were examined other property belonging to his employers was found . Thc prisoner was then given into custody . Ono of the prosecutors said that , although they had no doubt they had been robbed to a considerable extent , they had no wish to press the charge against the accused , as he was respectably connected . —Mr . Cottingham said he could not consistently with the discharge of his duty listen to any appeal on the behalf of a man holding a confidential situation , such as the prisoner filled , when upon other occasions hc was compelled to send poor miserable wretches for stealing a loaf of bread for' trial ; that the circumstance of the prisoner ' s exhibiting all thc outward garb of religion , such as being a class teacher of a Sunday school , aggravated tko charge against him ; and that he was bound , therefore , to send him for trial . The prisoner was accordingly committed .

The Mokmoxs.—We Want To Call The Reader'...
The Mokmoxs . —We want to call the reader ' s attention to the new and most extraordinary position of tho Mormons . Seven thousand of them have found a _rosting-plaeo in the most extraordinary spot on the North American Continent . Sinco the children of Israel wandered through the Wilderness , or the Crusaders rushed on Palestine , there has been nothing so historically singular as the emigration and recent settlement of the Mormons . Thousands of them came from the Afanchesfors and Sheffields of Europe , to join other thousands congregated from Western 'New York , and New York , and New England—boasted descendants of the Pilgrim fathers—together to follow after a new Jerusalem in the West . Having a tem ple amidst the churches and schools of Lake count }* , Ohio , and
driven from it by popular opinion , they build tho Nauvoo of Illinois . It becomes a great town . Twenty thousand people flock to it . Thev arc again assaulted by popular persecution ; their Prophet murdered—their town depopulated—and finall y their temple burned ! Docs all this scries of signal persecutions to which they have been subjccted ' iiestroy them ? Not at all . Seven thousand are now settled , in flourishing circumstances ; on tho Plateau summit of the North American Continent ! Thousands more aro about to join them from Iowa , and thousands moro are coming from Wales ! The spectacle is most singular , and this is one of tho singular episodes of the great drama of this age . The spot on which the Mormons are _now-settlcdls , geographically , one ofthe most intcrestintr on the
American Continent . There is no other just like it , that we can recolloct of , on the globe . ' Look at the map a littlo cast of the Great Salt Lake , ai . d just south of tho south-west Pass , and you will see m tho north-east corner of California _' tho summit level of tho waters which flow on tho North American continent . It must be six thousand feet , perhaps more , above the level of the Atlantic , ln this sequestered corner , in a vale hidden among mountains and lakes , are the Mormons , and there rise the mighty rivers than which no continent has greater . Within a stone ' s throw almost of one another , lie the head springs of the Sweet Water and the Green River . The former flows into the
Platte River : that into the Missouri : and that into the Mississipi : and that into the Gulf of Mexico , becoming ' part of the Gulf Stream , and laves the shores of distant lands . The latter , tho Green River , flows info the Colorado : thc _Colomdo into tlie Gulf of California , and is min g led with the Pacific . The one flows niore than 2 , 500 mile ' s ; the other more than 1 , 500 . These flow into tropical regions . Just north ofthe same spot are thc head streams of Snake River , which flows into the Columbia , near hit . 46 ' deg ., after a courso of 1 , 000 miles . Just south aro the sources of the Uio Grande , which , after winding 1 , 700 miles , finds the Gulf of Mexico . —Cincinnati Atlas .
A Monster of hie Deep . —It appears by the Periodic dos Pobres _, of Oporto , that a monster fish was driven on shore at Povoa do Varzim , on the 13 th ult . They are ignorant what fish it is , but its size is thus given :, it is fifty-eight hands and nine inches long , and measures in the thickest part nearly twenty hands—its tail being in the form of a fan ; it has four great fins , two great fins on the loins , the shout and eye of a pig ; with three orders of teeth , great and small ; the mouth fourteen hands in circumforcnce , from the mouth to the neck five orders of gills , every one having a large head of the size ofa hand ; the skin was as rough as that of ft seal , and black ; it appeared to be a male ; the livor it is supposed will give , upwards of cightyoight gallons of oil . .. This fish was ' accidentally strangled by tlio _coi'ds of tho nets which arc used for cfttching that kind of fish called here VPescadas , " . which resomblo the hack—and which had closed the gills and towed the fish along .

The Emperor was much afflicted by tooth-ache , which greatly _distrcsseiThira in several ofhis campaigns . The pain was sufficient to subdue even the Emperor , whose- _victories in arms had spread terror through the whole world , and he was obliged to have three teeth extracted . ' The tooth which Madame Tu 6 saud exhibits , displays a carious spot . It is placed under a glass case , and by Its side lies the inttrument hy which it was drawn . The Emperor and tho instrument haye alike passed away—death has removed the one , and _Bran'de's Enamel for
