HoivitCs Journal . PartTI . London : 171 , Strand . This pert concludes the first volume of this popular journal . There are many articles in the part before ta w _? might quote from , but we must content ourselv _.-s witb thefolJo * v . ' * i _? touching story , taken from a deserintion of Heidelberg;—time , —the last European war : — The Aastrians were in possession of the city . The _Pre- > ch approached , and attacked it from _thebriiig _" . Bloody and desperate Teas that conflict . The < -annon of the Austrian ; , planted near the church of the Holy Gho-t , swept the street leading to tbe bridge , and tbe _bridge itself ; the cannon of the French , at tbe opposite end < -f th _? _Vrtfge , poured their ruinous halls into tbe city , stnitin _*; the old towers of tbe bridge gateway , and
_reac'ita : ? the very church itself . From all windows on t * _ie riverpoureal musket balls in showers of leaden hail ; yet the French , resolved to carry the place , charged _repaateilly with all their force OTer the bridge , and fired tremendous volleys of _masket-sbot into street and _hoaw . Si-ores and hundreds of those ballB still stick in the old walls , or show tbeir perforations and their _silin'erings on the _facw of those old _bridge towerB . Bat time after time tbe French were mowed dotvn by the _Ao-atrinn artillery , er driven back at tbe point of the bxTur . et . On the centre ofthe bridge stood the French military band , _animating by the most aching music
tbeir countrymen to the deadly contest . With the retreating tide of soldiery tbe musicians retreated also , tut only to return again , and heat and play a more infl-ming air . At tbe la * t retreat , however , a little drummer-boy disdained to fly . His countrymen fled bark * , his f < _-. _iln ; - . musicians fled too ; but there stood the enthusiastic Isd , beatin ! - a frenzied air to recall bis compatriots once more to what be deemed tbe rescue ef tbe national honour . The Austrians rushed on with fixed bayonets ; the t-tcited boy still beat the drum in proud defiance , and was run _ftreugh the body by an Austrian savage , falling outliet . _Tiilce , -with his last pathetic words , "Oh . ' ma uer * / trio mere - ""
Like the dying Gladiator of Byron , his eyes were in his heart , and tbat was far atvay in his native home , whence he hid heen dragged by tbe conscription ; hut in his last moments he forgot neither the love of his mother nor his mother _coantry . Tt-at wondrous courage of a mere child—for such bt -was—those last _pathetic words , Ml on the heart ofthe - * ho * e amy and _population . They forgot the foe , and remembere-2 only the poor boy daring certain death to save tbe honour of bis native land , and _calling with -frantic strokes hij Hying countrymen hack to the vain conn st . The deed is become immortal . Wbile that old hrieee stands will that poor French drumnier-boy stand there too , and heat his frenzied larum , and titter his faint " Ofi ! wa mere ! ma _tnere '" There he i ? heard on the wildest nights ; and tlae peasant coming in from the Odeawald treads lightly in the gray dawn over the old arches , for be _eccs tbat poor lad standing ia the cmtre recess , and bears his melancholy " Oh I sm _MreV

MR O'CONNOR'S RECENT VISIT TO NORWICH . Ta ? TUB EDIT 03 OF TBE H 0 STBUN ET 1 B . Sin , —Mr O'Connor ' s visit to Norwich has had great effect on a large portion ofthe middle as well as the working classes . They are discussing in all quarters the Land Plan . A very large number bave already enrolled ; during the last week more than one hundred members , and no doubt that before long we shall have a greater number still . A greater amount of money has been collected than at any previous time : £ 27 was received for the Land Fund ,
and £ 16 for the National Land and Labour Bank . Mr O'Connor made ane of the most splendid speeches that ever was delivered in this city . Even his greatest enemies give him great prais ? . He has broken down a great deal of _prejudica-, and has once more revived the Chartist spirit . Let us not be ashamed of the name of the Charter—it is thc people ' s _rijiht . Arouse t > -en , fellow countrymen , and shake off your past apathy , aud be determined , as one man , not to rest satisfied till you h : > ve rescued yourselves from thc bondage you have so long laboured under .

The Footway Through Holland Park. To Thb...
THE FOOTWAY THROUGH HOLLAND PARK . TO THB XSITOK OV THE _HOKTHESN STAB . Dear Sib , — The _Kmsington vestry , in public meeting assembled , * have decided that the . footway before Holland House shall be c ' . _osed , and clnsed it will be unless such as are for the preservation of it unite ( as I trust they will do ) as a committee , to make such arrangements with Lord Holland as whilst they will not interfere with the _proposed improvements of his Lordship before Holland House , will nut deprive the public ofthe line of thoroughfare in question . There is not such another line of thoroughfare in that direction for a great way up the country , and according to the " Proposed Plan of Outlay on the Holland Estate , " which 1 have before me , there is not to be such aaother . Let us then not surrender
this one . There are various ways in which thc line of footing contended for can be preserved . Sooner than it should be altogether surrendered , I , for one , would consent that the road shonld be trenched , and that " brothers ef the earth" should pass through the earth ; or the footway could pass behind Holland House ; or Lord Uollaud can , if he pleases , reBtore to the public tbat right nf way which used to lead through Holland Park , in a line from Ihe " Holland Arms Lane , to '' Adams ' Potteries" Lane , and which , if restored , ( and it ought to be ) would render the question of a right of way either before or behind Holland House one of miner importance . I 8 u « t est , t hen , that such of us as are of tbe opposition
party , shall foim _ourselves into a committee fori making such arrangements witb Lord Holland as 1 _pioposed . If such as agree wiih my proposal would favour me with their names , 1 would not only form such committee , but attend to all its correspondence and general arrangements free of expenfe , as well as hear all stationery expenses . —Letters upon this subject can either be addressed to me , or tlie treasurer " { the Association , N .

Distress In The Highlands. Thb 05lt Perm...
DISTRESS IN THE HIGHLANDS . THB _05 LT PERMANENT REMEDY . XO IM ZD 1 I 0 B OF THE KDINBUBSH WEEKLY EXPRESS " Lives there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself bath said , This is my own , my native land V
Sir , —I have just read in ths Northern Star a letter extracted from your very excellent jourual _. bearini . the signature of John Steill , _Oanube-street , Edinburgh , animadverting in terms of _bonestindii-natioB on the various nostrums _reeammended by certain political quacks , to be applied in alleviating the distress which at present exists to so fearful an extent in tha _llighlands of Scotland ; and having carefully considered the subject in all its bearings , as treated by your correspondent , I beg leave most cordially to offer my mite of approbation of the bold and manly manner in whicii he denounces the oppressors of my countrymen , and also my general _agreement in thc justice of the means he would adopt to redraws their grievances , and only doubt the practicability of their application .
Air SteiH must te a bold , and doubtless a brave man—one who would not hesitate at once to denude the tyran t lairds of their power to oppress and murder their unoffending fellow-creatures , provided he had at his command the requisite materials for such a laudabl e purpose ; and although tbe "days of chivalry are gone , " there are yet thousands of stout hearts and strong arms to be found in our native land who would g ' ory in serving their country in so good a cause ; bur , the appliances of tyranny are so manifold , and the whole framework of society looorrupted , that any immediate remedy having this extent is out ofthe question . What , then , is to be done ? Is there no other means of bringing these titled brigands to a proper sense of tbeir duty to their fellow-men ? Yes , _s : r ; let your correspondent not
despair . There are measures in embryo which , by a proper understandine amongst thoso whose interests are mostmatertall y affected by the system which tolerates , nay , fosters oppression , and an honest union of the energies of ail who love their country , will very speedil y be developed in their f ull proportions , and fraught with ample power to reach the root of the evil , and bring about a better _sttte of things . I allude to those measures so simply , and at the same time so potently embodied in the People ' s Charier , and wbicb has happily taken such deep root in the minds of the productive classes of society , and which are making such rapid progress that they now form the only basis of the strong public opinion which your correspondent so wisely recommends to be brought to bear on the giant evils against which he so powerfully and so indignantly complains .
Your correspondent _verysensibly puts the question — ' ¦ Is there _notspace enough in the highlands to contain all the inhabitants—are not its resources amply sufficient to feed , clothe , ay , and enrich them too ? " to which there can be but one honest response , and tbat in the affirmative—excepting where selfish interest renders us blind to the munificence ot Nature , or where ignorance binds us to the chariot-wheels oi those who fatten on the miseries of thousands who fall victims to their unhallowed creed ! Indeed , I am of opinion that it is a gross libel on the Deity t * assert that any living thiog shall be produced where there is not the means of supporting its existence . I have never yet heard blasphemy denned , but I think * - -uch an assumption bears a verv
close affinity to all the ideas I could erer form of it . Over-population is the heartless howl of the monopolisers of the land ; and emigration , or starvation , the means by which they would rid themselves of the surplus " article , '' turning the fair face of Nature into a hunting-field , and driving the cultivators of the soil to a foreign land , or forcing thera to become competitors for uncongenial employment in our large manufacturing towns , to cheapen labour and raise the price of provisions ! I quite agree with your correspondent , that the most effectual remedy for the distress into which the land robbers have plunged our brethren in the high _, land districts would be to restore to them thoserights and immunities of which they have been so unjustly
deprived ; but a little reflection will show our friend Mr Steill that this can ouly be accomplished in one of two ways , viz ., a successful insurrection _^ a _legislative revision of the laws relating to what is called Real Pooperty , such , for an instance , as an _abrogation of the laws of primogeniture , entail , mortmain , the game-laws , and a whole host of equally obnoxious enactments , which oppress the producers of wealth , but which support and protect in all the pride of arrogant domination the idle and profligate few . I hope enough has been said to convince your correspondent of the propriety of shelving the first proposion , at least for the present ; and this naturally leads us to demand a thorough reformation of the laws and institutions of oar common coantry .
To sweep the present race of Highland lairds from the soil whicb they have misappropriated , and leave untouched the system of class-legislation , by which they have been enabled to assume their present position , would not ultimately benefit the suffering and toiling millions ef this , and what is termed "the sister" country , where the same crimes are daily committed against the people , and by the same description of criminals , and that , too , on a broader scale , compelling thousands of honest and virtuous families to seek for a crust of bread in onr great manufacturing towns , where they more often imbibe those demoralising habits alluded to by your correspondent through the contaminating influences by which they are surrounded—the natural consequence of the
congregation of large masses of the slaves of Mammon in crowded cities , than import them from the peaceful mountains and green valleys of their much-injured and trodden-down country . No , no . sir ; it is not the extermination of tbe tyrant lairds ef the north that tbe people require to securea more equitable application ofthe abundant resources of ths country , but the removal of that accumulation of pestiferous filth , which produces the vermin—a purification of the corrupted atmosphere which breathes its deadly miasma through all the ramifications of our class-made laws ; in short , a more liberal diffusion of the improved spirit of the age , the enlarged mind of the country into the Commons ' House of Parliament , which would scon produce a
more healthy system of legislation , conservatory alike of the interests of the whole community , not even excepting those legitimate immunities ofthe possessors of wealth ; a system which would restore the fertile straths and glens of my native country to the cultivation of an industriou * and contended population ; a system wbich would give Ireland to the Irish , and , as a natural consequence , England to the English , and compel the rich and powerful , in all countries , to respect the Jaws , and prevent them from trampling , as is the case at present , on the rights and liberties of their fellow-men . Now , then , if our talented friend , Mr Steill , be really desirous to lend his powerful aid in redressing the manifold grievances suffered by the _labouring
portion oi his countrymen , let him * at once appeal to the Chartists of _Edinburgh in their behalf , and I will warrant he does not appeal in min ; for , although the clays of the chivalry of the sword hath passed _a-vay , he will discover among them a chivalrous hatred of injustice , and a brave determination never to relax iu their , exertions till they have _obtained a restoration of that power which would not only enable them to redress the wrongs of Labour but which would also mush more effectuall y restrain the whole race of statecormorant 3 from thrustin _? their brethren out from the rich banquet , which Nature has so liberally provided for all her children ,
and deprived tyranny of its power to oppress , than the expulsion of a few _miserable puppets , whose sole power exists in . the protection afforded them in their aggressions on the rights of labour by vicious and corrupt laws , wbich the adoption of the principles propounded in the People ' s Charter would so far purify as would render them conducive to thc indiscriminate protection of rich and poor , conferring the _blessings of pcac * and plenty on all who are willing to labour for them " , and causing a strict performance of the _duttC 3 of their station , the onlv legitimate guarantee for the enjoyment of wealth , to those who may be so fortunate as to acquire it .
It is true that a mean _spiritof calculation anil speculation has taken possession of ' thatportion of society whicii has , for the last fifteen years , exercised a direct influence on _thelegi-jlhtion ofthe country . I . has entered lareely and banefully into our domestic _arraneements ; but as this is only tbe natural effcet of a mo- _, nopoly ofthe facilities which science bats _rendered to the _accumulation of wealth , a more equitable distribution of the rights of citizenship would , by iho destruction ofthe monopoly of le _^ _islaiion , soon rcducespcculation to its proper level , aad _convert that into a fair and laudable spirit of commercial
'enterprise which your correspondent so justly designates " a spirit of _raean _calcuhitisn . " It is puerife Btiil to keep beatin ** tbe bush whan the game is up . The ChartistBare in the ascendant ; they have created a very strong and energetic opinion ; which will ultimately prevail I To attempt the regeneration of onr country hy any otlu r means will only retard our progress to the goal of Frec-dum _, and it only wants tho adhesion of all tlr . se who , like our friend Mr Steill , feel that ar . y injury done-to a portion of the community ought to be resented by the whole , to consummate that- great and grand desideratum , the political and social regeneration ofour country .
In requesting the insertion of this letter let mc alio solicit your powerful co-operation in this holy cause in tbat spiritof liberality indicated by the publication of Mr Steill _' _a letter- Let us so assail tho citadel of corruption , tbat neither the Highland _lainU , nor their equally guilty Saxon abettors , with all the appliances of _tyra-my at tlui _** disposal , skill be able to preveut its total and immediate overthrow , and on its ruins fet -us lay tbo foundation of a better system , 1 ! ben let us pray that , come it may—And come it shall for a' that—Thar man to man tiie warld o ' t-r , Shall _brithtrs be , an' a' that J

In our country , however , the ruling powers have not been contented with su mild a me _. isun _* , but statute afte * statute hss been passed for th . ' protection of game and heavy and _cumuliitiva-p . naltics denounced against all who are suilty of _infriiiKina , ' _tha-ir _enacnnunts . Garao diiTers much Irom those thing * which may be said to be the subject of private _propa-rty . It is admitted oa all _haanals not to belong to any person in particular until it ia reclaimed , or preserved , by and for that _person ; _a-nd even then , directly it warders from his land it becomes the property of _the person to whose land it comes . Other property , too , it is supposed , may be enjoyed by the owner without injury to others ; but game preserved for tbe amusement ol a _fewisthe pest of the surrounding neigbbourhooai . and
does itiinitv ! injury to the agriculture ofthe country . It has been -villi a view to supply this deficiency in game , considered as property , that su many ¦¦ _rieYOUS Acts Of Parliament have been pa « ed in regard to It ; and it has been sought to remed y the weakness of the object by the _sirenifth of the means us : d to support it . The love of pursuing game , or of sport , is natural to man in a barbarous or civilised state , or to overcome this has been one if the causes of such severe laws . To show the character of these laws as tbey now exist , we propose to give tan ainalysis of tbem , so that any may soon perceive the offences which come beneath them , and their respectlvas punishments , and thus may not bo ignorant upon a matter which deeply affects the classes to which we appeal _.
