: REFORM MOVEMENT IN FRANCEBANQUET OF DIJON . - ' ( from our Paris Correspondent . ) This meeting ofthe Democracy of the department of the COte d 'Or , was ineontestibly the most splendid oneof the whole series of Reform-Banquets . ¦ WW sat down to dinner . There were present deputations from almost all the neighbouring townB . and even a Swiss . deputation , composed of citizens from Neutcbate ) , Geneva , and Lucerne , The charaoter of the meeting is very clearly marked out by the _namea of the principal speakers—M . M . Louis Blanc , Flocon , _Ledru-Rollin , * Etienne Arago—all of them belonging to the Ultra-Democratic party , represented by the Refobme . We need not say that Louis Philippe was not _toaBted at this dinner . ' ' ¦ M . Signard , of Gray , a neighbouring town , spoke to the toast- * The Democrats of Lille who , at the late banquet ot their town , sternly refused to compromise with _thesham-Libsrals ; and by their energy , union , and intelligence , saved the honour of
Democracy . M . Etienne Arago , a well-known literary character of Paris , and who but recently brought upon the stage an exceedingly successful comedy , entitled ' f he Aristocracies , 'then spoke-to the sentiment— 'Ihe developement of literature , science , and the fine arts ; ' exposing , in a brilliant speech , the rapid . ad-Vance literature and science were sure to make under a free and democratic system . Atthe toast— 'Thefuture progress of France / the chairman called upon M . Louis Blanc , who was very enthusiasticallyreceivedbythe meeting . He delivered a splendid speech , containingmany just and striking observations on the past developement of France :- © *" ' tbo conclusions to draw from it with regard
to the future ; on tbe particular character impressed indelibly upon the French Democratic Movement by the revolution . He was repeatedly and deservedly interrupted by applause . It was a speech quite worthy ofthe first historical writer France now possesses . There is , however , one point upon whieh we would make a few observations , which we hope will be tal-. enin thesaracfriendly spirit in which we write them . ; . M . Blanc says— ' We want union in Democracy . And no one may _deceive himself , we do not think and labonr for France only , but for the whole world , because * the future of France contains ih it the future of mankind . In fact , we are placed in this admirable position , that , without ever ceasing to be national ,
we are necessarily _cosmopolrte , and are even more cosmopolite tban national . Wboever would call himself a Democrat , and be at the earn * time an Englishman , would give thVlieto the history of his own country , for the part _wft & h England has-always played , has been a strnggle'of _esrotism against fraternity . In the same manner , ha who is a Frenchman , and would not be a cosmopolite , would give the lie to his country's part ; for Franco never , could make predominant any idea , except ib was for the benefit of the whole world . Gentlemen , at tire time of the Crusades , when Europe w _* nt to conouer the grave of Christ , it waa France-whe took the movement under her wings . Afterward " ** , when the priests would impose urmn us the yoke of Papist supremacy , tfie
Gfalb ' caB bishops defended tbe rights of conscience . _Atod in the last days ofthe ancient monarchy , whosupported young , republican America ? France . _^ always France ! And what was true of monarchical France , how should it not be true of _JSepublican France ? Where , in thebook of history , do we Snd anything resembling that ' admirable , seU _* _sacri 6 cing , disinterestedness of the RfepuWrc , when , exhausted by _tfie'blbQd'ahe had shed en our frontiers and ' on the _scafo ) d ,. 8 lie ffinnd yet more blbocf io shed for her Baiavianbrethren '? When Beaten er victorious ; she enlightens he ? -very enemies-by tbe Bparks of her genius- ! ' Let Europe _send- 'us _sfateen _armies , and we _sBall send her liberty in return- / Now ; without ! intending to deprecate in any
manner the _fieroicenbrca of the French- Sfevolution , and the immense gratitude the world _' _owes to the great men of the Republic , we think _tVtat ? the relative _position of France and'England , with- regard to cosmopolitism , is not atf all justly delineated' in the above sketch . We entirely deny the cosmopolitic character ascribed to-France before the _revolution , and the time * of Louis XT .,, and Richelieu ,- may serve as proofs . Bht what is * it M . _BlancasoriBea-to France ¥ That she never could make predominant any idea ,, except it was to Benefit the whole- world . Well , weshould tBiiiK M ; Louis Blanc could not show us any country in the _world-which eoulddo otherwise than France _is-said'to have dono . Take-England _^ for instance , which M ' . Blanc _place-niir direct opposition
to France-.. England - invented the steam-engine ; England- ' erected the railway ; _two-thingswhich , we believe , are worth a- good many- ideas ; _Wellj did England invent thera for herself , ' or forthe world ? The French elory ib- spreading civilisation everywhere , principally in-Algiers . Well , who has spread _oivilisatibnihAmerioav-Asia _, _Africa-,. and A _* n 8 tralia , but England ?• Who founded the -very Rtepublic , in the freeing of which France toofc some part *? ' England— _always England .. If France assisted hi freeing the American republiofrom English tyranny , England _freed'thc "Outoh republic , j . ust two hundred years sooner , from Spanish oppression . W France
gave ,. _atrtheendofthe-lasfc century ,. a ' glorious example to . tho whole world ,. _wejcannet-silentlS ' pass by the faoirtbatE ' _-gland , a- hundred and fifty years _sMneifi gave that example , . and found at that time , not even-France prepared to follow . And ,. as- far as ideas are concerned ' ,, those very ideas , which the Frenoh philosopher * of the 18 th century—which Voltaire , Rousseau-,. Diderot ,. D'Alembart , and others , did so much _topopulariae—wbete had these ideas fast been originated , but in England ? . ' Let us never forget Milton , the first defender-of regi _* cid » _,- . Algernon Sydney , _Bolingbroke , and ! Shaftesbiwys over their Frenoh more brilliant followers .
It an Englishman- ' would call himself a > _demoorat he-would give ibe lie- to- the history of bis- own country _. _' says M . Blanc . Wall , we consider it aB _the-veriestproofof-sterlingdemocracy , thatit- must _-jjve the lie to ita _eountry ,. that it must repudiate all responsibility for- a past flllod up with misery , tyranny , _class-oppression , and superstition . Let the French not make _ao > exception to the other democrats ; let tbem not take the responsibility for the doings ef thoir _Eings-and Aristocrats of former times . Therefore , what _M-. Blanc _thihha- a disadvantage to English democrats , we think to be a great advantage _^ that they must repudiate-the past
, , aod only look to the future . A Frenchman . is necessarily a cosmopolite . YeB , tha world rate * over by French influence , French raanners _. 'fashions , ideas , politics . fo a , world in which every nation lias-adopted the > characteristics _, ef French nationality . But that is . exactly what the _democrats of other- nations wil ) not like . Quite ready to give up the-haTshness of their own nationality , they expect the same from the French . They wili not be . satisfied ) in the assertion , on the part , of the French , that they are cosmopolites ; assertion whioh amounts to- the demand urged upon all _otfesrs , to become Frenchmen :
Compare Germany . Germany is the fatherland of as-immense number of inventions—flf the p-Hating press , for instance . Germany _Ijasprbduced—and this is recognised npon all hands ~ a far greater _number of generous and cosmopolitic ideas than France and England put together . Andi Germany , in , practice , has always been humiliated ,, always been deceived in all her hopes . She can tell best what French cosmopolitism has been . In the same measure as Franco bas to complain—and quite _justly—of the treachery of English polioy , Germany has _expo-, rienoed a policy quite as treaoherous on the part of France , from Louis XI . down to Loais Philippe . If we were to apply the _measure of M > Louis BIanc > the Germans would be the true cosmopolites , and yet they do not pretend to this . So muoh' upon thia point . We wish to _tBtabUsb a discussion upoa it , as this will only lead toamutual understanding ; to a firm union of French and English Democracy .
After M . Blanc , M . _FJocsn spoke tothe toast : - The Democrats of Europe . ' M . Flooon said : Look around you , listen to the voices which arise from foreign countries ; complaints or menace j sighs or hopes ; what tell they ? They invoke the principle of the French Revolution '* , they proclaim ia the face of all despotisms , its immortal motto : Liberte , Egalite , Fratemite . Yes , those very nations , which in" the delusions of slavery and ignorance , made an impious war ou the revolution ; they now come by thousands to take up its standard , and promise to be most ardent defenders of the glorious principles they did not understand in times
past , inis striking tact is before the eyes of all the world , and I know nothing more terrible to onr enemies , nothing which could more effeotually recall to our minds our duty . In England , at the side of the old factions , in the face of the _ricleat and most tyrannical aristocracy of the world , the people are organising . Au immense association , con * ducted by experienced leaders , enrols daily thousands of working men , who will undertake to avenge tbe wrongs of humanity , And the rights of man are not a new watchword in England . At the time of the old civil wars , m the midst of religious fanaticism and political passions , several parties clearly saw the great social truth :
When Adam delved aud Ere span , Where was then the gentleman ! That was proclaimed by the _Covenantersalmost three hundred years ago . The same question is Sn pu ; and the co ton lords disdain al much to BS to the complaint of the children of toil , as dffS _andlords in _by-gone times . _ThereforeUsking what ie right _willnotaoffice ; the people mnrtbe _ffifi ln Belgium , at thw -my moment , asoeietv is or gnu-sing uniting Wrats 3 _& _lZ % i \ _Z _A _£° 5 " , bei _8 _* " _*•>«* . ft Germany , S _If-H ? _- _" ! v play the « ame of granting graciouS _mmtfiS _^ _ft _^ peopl < , P « _pare themselves for workmg out their own _salration .

REFORM BANQUET , AT MSIE _.-SPEECH OF M . _LEmU-ROlim . _{ From our Paris Com" }) Ondent . _} In response to the toast : — 'To the Labourerg , —to their impresorlptible rights , —to their sacred interests , hitherto unknown . ' ' Citizens , —Yes , to the labourers ito their _impresorlptible rights , —to their sacred interests , hitherto unknown . To the unalienable rights of man , proclaimed in principle , by tw © glorious revoluiiens ; but artfully eluded in their application , and successfully re-wrested fromthe people , and which are now only a glorious , yet bitter remembrance ! Political rights to the people , -it is said , is madness . How entrust them with them , in their gtste of incapacity , of ignorance , of moral depravity ! TO give the people political freedom is a Wind and dangerous power ; it ts molation—blood—anarcby—chaoi !
Gentlemen , jou know the people ; you in this industrial city , at once so wealthy and sopoer , believe you this p icture to be true ! Oh ! doubtless , if we cast . our eyes over the pages of certain romance writers , to whom the grand side of things has appeared trivial , vulgar—who have sought for effect inthe humorous , the fantastic , the exceptional , the people—is it thus . ' Taking the normal life of our towns , from , one point , where criminals escaped from justice , find a refuge , tbs way of life , the dregs of society , tbey have said , ' Such are the people ! Doubtless such would still be the peoplei did we put faith in those mercenary writers , who , to terrify the wealthy , cry out ' _against the invasion ofthe barbarians ! Barba-Hans ! they have oast tbat epithet upon thepeople , as the most outrageous of insults , Ah ! if barbarians
always _signifymen fait ot simplicity , _ofstrengtti _, of social and youthful energy , tho » e barbarians can alone save our ¦ _wra-ont official world , fast hastening to decay in _powerlessness and corruption . Bfo ; a thousand times rfo , it is not tbe people . It is not upon the theatre of crime _an-d debauchery , that it must be sought for . To be acquainted with it , we must transport ourselves into those mantrfac turing town-, whera the mere & ant , struggling _agaiwt unrestricted competition whieh crushes him , between the tyrannical ' pressure of capital and opposition to wa _^ _esr wbich eat him up , he is compelled' to reduce those wages , ia order to- avoid bankruptcy and dishonour . Ab f believe not that the people ,, iu their spirit ofjustice , always accuse the masters as the- eause of that cruel _n- - _eesBity . Knew ther not tbat our _Mastry fails for want
of outlet ; that we ha * _"e seen tbe greatest number of the markets of the world closed _agains" ? ub ; : and that our commerce has perished , where our _Bagbas been trampled Wider foot ? _i . \ _TelV j . in the midst of those _-jieissUutles , of ; those fluctuations , of this crisis of wages ; what _befals the i workman ?

Spanish Wealth . —The Dake of _Albuquer-jne dis so wealthy that the weighing of his gold and _silyj occupied two hours each day for six weeks ; _Amongi other things , there were 1 , 400 dozen ef plates , sd great dishes , 700 little ones , and every thing elsei proportion . There were also 76 sB _? er ladders to st things on ihe cupboard , which were ascended by littl steps , like the altars in a great hall . - _Tobmoruen . —An Aixkosp Case o * p Assault upoi the peraon of Grace Field , a child of about thirtee ' years of age , by — Beaumont , a shopkeeper at Mill wood , near Todmorden , one of of the witnesses a Lancaster against the Chartists , and now the hem constable of _Stansfield , was tried before Jobn Cross ley Scaitliffe . Esq . and J . Taylor , Esq . of Todroorde Sail . Mr Stansfield , attorney , appeared for th
plaintiff , and Beaumont conducted his owff defence if it could be so-called . _^ Witnesses were & rough | forward who proved _havingaeen _Beaumonfcfbllew th < plaintiff to her father ' _atouae , going , in , and ; afterwards hearing a scream , upon which the witne 39 rat irrtotlie house , found' Beaumont trying to force th < girf to comply with _fiia lustful propensities ,-39 tht witness went in , Beaumont pulled his hat over h « face , toprevent the witness-seeing who . it was , , bai he Mowed'Beaumont into the Black Swan Inn , ane there recognised biro . Others swore to having seen Beaumont ; and a little girl swore that Beaumonl had sard'He woald give h * r and the _plaintiff , Fielden , each a gingham fent , if tbey' would go a playing into the room' where be took Jn piecea . The impression created in the cowrt was that a charge of rape was fully Buostantiated , and when the magistrates said they _wotrid / _clecideomtas a common ' assault , there was a cry of _sHame- ran through the . whole body of the
court , but which was immediately suppressed . Beaumont was asked wfiat he bad to say forhimself . He said he believed' he was there , but was so-drunk that really he did not ftnow what he was- doing , and Brought forward some of his companionate prove hig _abatement . That was his defence . The plaintiffs at * _terney then argued' the point of law to prove that it could not be called' legally a common assault ; but though he quoted from- abundant law books to p rove bis points itwas all to no purpose , for the magis . trates were determined'to bring it in a common assault , but they were foiled : sooner than allow tbem to do so , he _( 3 tBns 6 eld ) _'said he would' withdraw it and'take it to a- higher court , where he could bave justice . Eventually he did' withdraw it . Never was there - such a reeling created as there has heen over this'case ; every one coul'd see the partiality shown tothe prisoner ,. and all ' expressed an opinion that had it been a working man , he _would'bave been committed on a case of rape .

William Scholiield , Back Brook-street , waB coming down York-street , on hia way from Dr _Scholfield ' s , where he had Been for seme medicine for his wife who was lying poorly , when one of the policemen went up to hita ,. and' took a deliberate aim and' hit him across the face with his bludgeon , the other policewan then oame up , and both thon began to beat him about the head and shoulders ; - he received such an amount of injury that Dr Scholfield had' to be fetchei'to him , when it appeared they had _fraoturet ' . his skull , and done also serious damage to h shoulder ; : but he was- not the only sober man whom , they ill treated ..

Being _awarkerih-oneof the grinding trades , and feeliBg the anhealthy effects upon my _constitution , and seeing my fellow tradesmen aronnd me , a * from thirty to fcpty _yearaof age , hurried to a _prem-iture-grave , I think it is time to look for a permanent remedy to relieve _oursalves , and place the rising generation in a
better scale of being than the present have ever enja-i -ed . In Dr Holland ' s * "Vital Statistics of Sheffield / ha states the average * _-duration of life amongst forkgrindera ta be SO yeaw , scissors-grinders 31 years , _raaou-grindera 33 yeai-3 , and rising from dry to wet , the highest average- is about 44 yews ; Remember we are always working in a clouded atmosphere ' , one , two , and sometimes aa many as three stones working inoneroom ; millions of particles of dust and _Btcol crowding the room ,, and we bent in an unhealthy position over our worts , ana every moment in danger of being lamed or killed through the stone breaking . Tho stone make * from six hundred to one thousand revolutions per minute , andif a atone breaks ; as is irequently the case , the effect is like a cannon going off-no . warning , metal walls and even roofs
are no barrier to its p » ogress .
