THE _NATIONAL INSTRUCTOR , Paxt IL London : J . Pavey , Hol ywell-streefc . TJxdeb the , guidance of its able editor this pubb' cation is , week by week , advancing m interest , and the importance of its contents . This part contains admirable articles ' on " Competition , " "Pauperism , " "Labour , " " Socialism , " & c _, & c . Mr . O'Connor _coniinfaes tbe narrative of his Life and Adventures , wbich must be read to be appreciated , "A Biography of Joseph Mazzini , " a continuation of the story of " The Secret , '' and otber articles , will repay perusal We -will take for extract a brief notice of the celebrated
EOBESPDEBBE . When the States-General met at Versailles in 1789 , Maximilian Robespierre , a deputy of the tiersetat , was as advocate at Arras , where his inflexible integrity and love of jostice'had already procured him the appellation of "the incorruptible . " He had theu obtained no political eminence , and in the _Rational Assembly h ' e was thought little of ; he stood alone there as completely by his integrity , his austere morals , " and his devotion to the interests of the ' people , as the more brilliant but less ' virtuous Mirahean did by his eloquence , hi 3 genius , and his audacity . But Robespierre was the representative ofa great principle , and the Democracy of France
was not sloV to discern his worth . Lamartine says , that he alone comprehended the revolution when it first lowered upon the horizon ; and that while the Constitntionalists and Girondists were contending for place and power , the idea of tbe amelioration ol the condition of the proletarians was germinating in the . bosom of the obscure advocate of Arras . Boonarotti says , ' that Robespierre ' s idea of tbe revolution was , that it ought to ' change entirely the material and moral condition of the labouring classes . Bis domestic life presented a praiseworthy example of probity , virtue , and simplicity j he lodged at a cabinet maker ' s ; aad though he mightrme amassed wealth , as Danton arid others of the revolutionists did , his personal effects were valued at bis death at he
little more than £ 5 . In tbe JJational Assembly proposed the abolition of the punishment of death , but-. then _, as in 1848 ; the humane wishes of the democrats were overruled by the votes ofthe party of " peace , law , and order . * ' The guillotine at a later day must be considered as an instalment of war rather than as an engine of jadiciai punishment Supported by the most advanced minds among his party , he gave freedom to the negroes of Hay ti—he put an end tothe practice of burying the , dead in towns , and ealled into existence the beautiful cemeteries around Paris—and he banished from the capital all those who sold obscene prints and books , as Caussidiere did iri 1848 . 13 it wonderful , then , that the proletarians of France should cherish and revere the memory of this man ?

more engaged the attention of historians than the assassination , of Julias _Casar . Whilst all' admit the . splendour of his abilities and the disinterestedness of his character , he has by many _* with singular inconsistency , ' been held up as a tyrant and usurper .

Roman ,. urging as a plea , in favour of the assassins , ' _thatCassar having abolished the liberties' bi bis country , had rendered himself amenable to' the penalty 1 of death . The truth is , i that _Csesar ' _s love of humanity prompted him to the
glorious , ambition of acquiring power ; in order to destroy that _o ppression , under whicb the Roman people had long suffered ; a . hd " beca " use he _hesitated not to abolish unequal laws , framed forthe protection ofthe rich alone , every vile effort'has been used to throw odium upon- his name . It should . be . remembered that the then Roman form of government , like the present infamous Republic of France , was one of the vilest of _arietocraicies . _Cmsar _' s' virtues were well known to the citizens of Rome , and it is to be regretted tbat he perished before he had accomplished his humane and beneficent designs .

Royal Polytechnic Institution. In The Mo...
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . In the model department . of thiB establishment , there has l a tel y been deposited a specimen of the VPatent ; . Noiseless -Wheels , " , manufactured by Marks and Co . This invention , which consists'in the application of a solid band of vulcanised indiarabber over the iron tyres of carriage wheels , and by these means a c a rriage is rendered perfectl y ; noiseless , allowing conversation to be carried on without any more effort than is required in a quiet room , and a considerably greater amount of ease is
imparted than can be . attained b y me a ns of steel springs solely . . The wear and tear of carriages fitted with the patent : wheels is mate r iall y reduced . As they may be said to roll along npon soft cushions , a ll the j o lting and shaking attendant' npon common wheels is done sway-with . Iii addition , this patent , reduces the draught of carriages very materially . It may be supposed that a wheel having a s oft tyre , whi c h i s co mpr e ssed a nd some w hat flattened under , the wheel , would , a s it rolls onwards , require more draug ht , like the common wheel passing over soft ground—the
contr a ry , however , is the case j and it has- been proved , by . experiment , that the patent whe e l s reduce the draught by nearly one-third . The explanation of this is , that the tyre is elastic , as Well as soft ; and although the elastic , tyre is compressed in front of the wheel , it immediatel y e xpand s a g a in b e hi n d the wheel , g iving back the power required to compress it . Two sets of these wheels have been ordered by the Emperor of Russia , which have been despatched to St . . Petersburgh , The lecture s b y Dr . _Baehhofiner and Mr . Pepper- continue to draw crowded audiences daily .

Mr . _Nox _Flannigav proposed a vote of thanks to the proprietors and . editors of tbe " Northern Star" and Reynold's Journals , as they were the true exponents of civil and religious liberty in England . It gave- him , an outline that , these men were really " Sons of Freedom" 6 y inserting the humble proceedings of that body iu their valuable journals with _int fee or'emolument , but for the ad . vancement of buinah progress .: The speaker concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the honourable member for Nottingham , and Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds , which was seconded by Mr . Dal y , and carried with acclamation .
At tbis period of their proceedings some strange gentlemen came ih and ' asked what ! waa' the object of their meeting , or was it open to strangers , which was answered in the affirmative , by the Chairman , who said he was in duty , bound , to explain to them tbe object of their assembling together that night I he said that they were a branch of the Irish Democratic Association of Dublin ; that their first object was to get their organ on its legs again ; iii order to give puWicity to their proceedings ; and secondly ' , to do something for the land of their birth , 'in order to elevate it from its present degraded state . These were the objects of the meeting , and the cause of their ysembliDg that night . .
One of the gentlemen , Mr . Hughes , Hanked the Chairman for tbe corteous manner in wbich he received tbera . He said he bad seen an account of a body of Irishmen assembling there . , ' H e made bol d to come too , as an exile , from tbe poor old country ; nothing would give . him more pleasure than to . cooperate with his countrymen .

The Potteb'Emigration ' Society originated in ; a trade combination of the operatives of these districts " . Tlie folly and efficiency of permanently improving
the price of potting industry by a system of direct _antagonism with employers , or through the medium of strikes ' and turn-outs , having- been bitterly : experienced by working potter * , it was agreed tbat . a legal association , should 'be established , based on afjoint stock . . principle ,, and . enrolled ' - under the Friendly Societies' Acts . Theobject ' _bf thiaassociaiion was the . purchase , , otlandin . the western states of tKe Noftb AmericanTfnibh _. and to remove to that land the unemployed bands ' pf the trade , placing at their command' forty acres of land" ; at the ' cost of _j _£ ll , to he paid for in the course of ten years after allocation , ' with implemen ' _fi'iand p _^ roviaion for tbe ' fi « t year of settling , to be paid ' for in _labbiiri .
As a first essay in this novel mode of _tddes'itn provement , three workinghien of ihe trade ' were sent outin 1844 to Wisconsin , there to select and to . purchase Und for the use of the society . - An estate of 1 , 600 acres waB purchased , and named'Pot * _tereyijta Tp . this estate some ferty families ' were sent , at a heavy cost to the trade , the whole of whom , with some few exceptions , are now doing well . Understand me , the whole cost of land , buildings , stores , and transit , was borne , by , the members at bome , and not by the colonists—the latter being allowed ten years to return the bare cost ,, without interest , to which they had placed the society ! . These _fgtnilies , h ' ow ' Owe the' society r adme [ £ 6 Q [ or £ 70 e ach ; aniin 8 tead of beih _^ f J * swindled .

The second step" taken by the _socieiy was that of securing , in pre-emption righti some 50 * ; 000 acres bf land on the . F 6 x . River , _Wisconain . _" This right , you will understand , can only be held hy the sitllerf arid riot by . the . society ; and hence the _fajpt _^ that the settler . alone ,-has the power of injuring the society , and not the society off injuring the settler . This estate 18 called Emancipation Ferry , and will not be in the market tor purchase before ; the end ; of ; October nut ) and to which , have been ; 8 ent ) some ; fpur hundred families within the last t wo . years , . coraprising mechanics of all trades , to whom tbe society has
been opened . _"; . ' . '" ; f " _^„ .,. [ _,-. ,. ; . - _' \ , y _. For this estate , Mr _/ Philip Pointon ' andiamily . ' embarked in March last , ha v ing been a member of the society for upwards of five years . In the course of that period be-had paid into' the society , no more than £ I Is . 6 d ., _* and _Ibt ' i for a Yankee axe / two beetling rings , aud two ' wedges ; the said 15 s . being the _cost . price of the articles enumerated . ; On his a rrival , at the land he claims his axe , rings , and wedges , ; and , as be' states , receives them . He is next shown [ forty . acres of what he acknowledges to be _*« good , land , ' ) hut it is . «• eighteen or twenty , thiles from the Fort , and about twelve from the first store , and Ann wonld not go .

Your readers , sir , will acknowledge that on an estate pf 50 _, 000 .. acres , taking up some twenty-two miies of frontage on the banks , of a . . r i ver ,. running seven miles back , and / haying _iftm ? stores—your r eaders will a ck now l e d ge that the _fos _; settlers cannot all be placed around the first store . Mr . Pointon does complain , and very unjustl y too . ; __ To the truth of piir stores being imperfectly stocked , we _sorrowfuily subscribe . But this proves do designed wrong in the managers of the society , nor impracticability in the plans of the institution It simply proves that our funds have been limited . We have now , until spring next , stopped all further settlement ; aud : are applying the whole receipts of the society to remedy the evil complained of ..
Bnt this is not << swindling . " It is rather , the generous confidence of worWng . _ en , ; aupplyin 5 -the wants of others of their , fellows five thousand miles away , _irtherebe . any jembiance .: of injustice , it lies on the part of Mr . _Pointonl As , a potter ,. he derived advantages from the removal of . the . _surplus labour of his trade ; as an emigrant , leaving his country under the society's auspices , be had passages secured nor himself , wife , and six children at Ids . a head less than other passengers paid ; and , as a shareholder in the movement , has been guided to what he terms " a fine situation on the banks
bf the Baraboo river . - ' " Indeed , " he _says _^ " I tell you the truth when ; I say it is the' prettiest place we have seen : since : we came ; to America . ' ' And yet this man , paying £ 1 la . 6 d ., and nothing for ; management iri the course of five years , and into a trades' fund , too , dares to talk of swindling I I l e ave , sir ,. you and your . readers . .. to judge impartially of . the justice of his , complaint , subscribing myself ¦ _^^ Yourvery obedientservant , , .. . , William Evans / , fieiieral Agent .

to suit the whim and caprice of such' interested parties .
