      R. I :Eonhnbntal Despotisms. V ; ' 'Kom ...

      r . i : eONHNBNTAL DESPOTISMS . V _; ' _'Kom the Continent there is nothing to re port save the continued ascendancy of the . despotic and reactionary party . _ThePBESident of the so-called Freneh _Republic ( has , as we anticipated , applied _fte _' inonbjr voted to him by tiie Assembly , in _purchasnig such popolarity sad support as can be procured by money . There is evidently a breach dpeh & ig

      between him and the Assembly , and several studied insults to the Bepublic itself , through the medium of tbe minions who act as Ministers , seem to indicate that he means to force his way to the Consulship or Dictatorshi p , he has . evidently contemplated from the commencement His success may be attained at such an ultimate cost as to make it a dear victory oyer the people , by whom he was elevated to & e position , of Head of the Bepublic , and _whose . support he has repaid b y the blackest treachery and ingratitude .

      : Th © effeciof the disfranchising bill has been inore sweeping and destructive than its _condors themselves contemplated . More than _itco-tkirds of the electors of Paris have been deprived , by that infamous measure , ofthe __ icMse , and the redaction throughout the whole country will be more than one-half . So _desperatel y bent on depriving the masses of political power were the " seventeen , " that it appears tiie " _measnre will , for a time at least , _Int ' ciff M . Thiers himself ; and the despotic journals complain loudly that many ofthe ' . ' . friends of order" have been deprivedof their votes .

      ' The electoral law has been followed by the law on the press . It -was a vindictive and effectual measure for the entire suppression of ihe free press , when introduced by the Government , but it has been since altered so fre--quentjy and so strangely that it appears to as if itis enforced , the practical result will be ¦ to pnt down every newspaper in the country _, _liouis _Napousox will tben have achieved , trader a Republic , precisely the same result as Nicholas of Rnssia , under an autocracy . The -complete subversion of all individual rights , the suppression of public opinion , and the -establishment of a tyranny , resting solely on

      me sword . This is his return for the generous confidence of that people , who took him from his furnished lodging in St . _James-. sfcreet , and placed him in the Palace Elysee . But , if history lies not , he will yet reap his reward . Throughout tiie country the reign of terror , proscription , and police espionage is in full operation , and the only -consolation to be gathered , from the present -state of things is , that the bow is bent so tight the string must snap soon . Reaction is inevitable . When it comes , may God defend the right !

      . In other quarters there is pretty nearly the same tale to telL The Pope and Cardinals proceed with their policy of crushing out every Imgering _sparfc of b _^) _ertym Borne . The _King of Prussia steadily pursues his dynastic and despotic career . Austria keeps fell gripe bf the throat of . Hungary , and Denmark , under a pretence of agreeing to a peace , is set at liberty to commence a war of aggrandizement against the Duchie 3 of Sleswig-Holstein . : From the United States , the principal political news is the continuance , of the struggle between the Free Soil and Pro-slavery par-- _ es , ar ising ont ofthe claim of California to he admitted as a Free State . It has lasted all the Session , and at present seems as far from a termination as ever .

Mr . Tansittart , T . Hughes , Esq ,, _barrister-aMaw , and Jfr . Walter Cooper , all of whom , on entering the hall , were received witb the loudest acclamations .

      Mr . Mathew was called tothe chair , and immemediately called on Mr . Hodden to read the report drawn np by the committee , -which being done , Mr . Mayhew described society as fast hurrying to that " horrible division of two classes , the very rich and very poor ; " and said it behoved the working classes to come together for their own advantage and protection , and at great length explained the advantages that must arise to the _COStermODgerS from the establishment of a friendly association , embracing a saving , a loan , provident , and _protectiou fund , showing what could be done for tbem by patting by from one penny to ten pence per week inthe days oftheir prosperity , when the day of adversity arrived .

      Charles Cochrane , Esq ., moved the first resolution : — " That tbis meeting approves of the report ofthe committee , and are determined to do all that can be done to farther the objects oi tbe association . " Mr . Cochrane , having eulogised Mr . _Mayhem for his admirable letters on the " Wrongs of labour" said that the whole ofthe evils of society might be traced either to the maltreatment or neglect of the people , and it was the duty of all classes to step forward in the work of social amelioration ; he was . so pleased with this effort ou behalf of the oppressed costermongers , that although comparatively a poor man , he would give a guinea annually in support of tbe funds . ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was adopted unanimously .

      Mr . _Banui , in a speech which was warmly greeted , moved the second resolution as follows : — " That this netting being well aware of the utility and necessity of providing a fund for cases of sickness , and other misfortunes , earnestly desire that such a fund should be established , and will support tbe same . " Mr . "Walter . Coopeb , amidst the most rapturous and long-continued applause , stood forward to second the resolution , aud said he was delighted to meet such a numerous body of men , standing for . ward in self-defence , particularly when he remembered they were of that class who had pushed _along the streets with their barrows as a nuisance . He hardly knew how to address men , who had bread

      to-night , and , perchance , to-morrow would be without ; men , many of them who scarce knew what the luxury of a bed was . ( Hear , hear . ) There was in their effort a union of classes ; but for himself , he was bound to say he cared nothing for " caste , " except that he infinitely preferred the sober , virtuous costerraonger , tothe debauched lord . ( Great applause . ) It had been said that they should make application to the respectable classes and clergy for assistance ; he did not object , and he should , for once , like to see the clergy doing their duty * » he would not have objected to see the _Biahop of London in the chair . ( Laughter . ) If the church wished for the support of the people , she must show she deserves it by aiding the people . Mr . Cooper

      tnen apostrophised Mr . Mayhew for his benevolence and utility , and in the most impassioned aud eloquent manner invoked the meeting to press onward in the good work , and resumed his seat amidst unbounded applause . The resolution was carried unanimously . The Honourable Mr . Vassiiiabt , in an eloquent speech , moved the third resolution as follows-. — " That this meeting feeling the want of education for themselves and children , will support the committee in their endeavours to , carry out a Mutual Improvement Society , and to establish schools .

      The Wheck Of Ihe Avesoer.—If Any Doubts ...

      The Wheck of ihe Avesoer . —If any doubts have existed of the precise spot where the unfortunate Avenger met with the fatal doom that befel her , and if some persons have until now entertained any opinion contrary to tbat which prevailed at the time , that the Avenger had run on the Sorelli rocks , the finding ofthe wreck must dispel all such doubts , and point out the place where tbo said accident happened . M . Bouchet-Rividre , commanding the French xebec Boberacb , charged witb the surveillance of the coral fishery in Algeria , has just explored the Sorelli rocks . The dangerous rocks , commonly called the " Two Sisters , " have the same basis , but are separated at their summit , and form two peaks-M heads , over which there are but

      three or four feet of water , and between wbich the wreck of the Avenger now lies . M . Riviere baa seen the engines of the Avenger in the chasm between these rocks - he has also perceived two anchors , a chain cable , and a gun , and has succeeded ia getting np from the wreck some pieces of iron and a bowling _cutlas . _—PfymoutA Times , Deaths bt Dbownino . —On Sunday no fewer than seven persons met their deaths by drowning in the Thames , between Battersea and London-bridges . _Fbehch Bbwabd to aw English Sa _ ob . —The

Brown and Harrison , a gold medal , awarded by the French Minister of Marine iu consideration of the bravery and humanity displayed by Capt . Culien in wring the crew of the French sloop Edouard , of _MorlaiXiinsstormoffUsbantin January last . It appears that the America fell in with the French _vewel while in danger , and that Captain Cullen , in a S _^ i l 6 _^ _hHmanity , lay to until the storm subsided , and then took tho Frenoh seamen on ward . He brought them _fOlsafi to _lirerpool .

      Mr . _mauwood , amidst loud cheers , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting deeply deplores the ignorance and infatuation of the Legislature ih altering tho voting clause of the Insh Franchise Bill from eight to fifteen pounds ; in rejecting Mr . Locke King ' s County Franchise Bill ; and in counting-out the house during the mover's speech , whilst introducing the question of the People's Charter ; also that of Mr . Baron Alderson , and other so-called Judges , it ! making what appears to us invidious distinctions between rich ana ; poor , whilst passing sentence in a recent case at the Old Bailey session . This meeting can only _viewBueh things as an increased incentive to the work

      _oforea-THE WEEKLY MEETINGS AT JOHN STREET . On Tuesday evening a large concourse of persons attended to take part in the Chartist proceedings . Mr . W . A . Fletcher was _unanimously called tothe chair , and said , recent proceedings in Parliament , such as the damaging liberal Irish measures , and the rejecting and counting out liberal English measures , called for remark , and . he thought , the ' severest reprehension ; biit those things only tended to show him the urgent . necessity there , was for their being energetic in the good work , and speedily obtain a perfect control , by means of actual reprer _sentation , over the Legislature . ( Loud _Cheflrs . )

      _nisation foreffectingthefullpoliticaland socialrignts ofthe whole people . "— -Mr , Stallwood , in proposing ihe resolution , fallowed the miserable state of the Irish franchise , as exhibited by the present contest in the county of Mayo , only one in a thousand having tbo right to vote , and tbe degraded position socially considered of the Irish people , m & inVy caused by the want of that Legislative protectiontho suffrage , would give , and censured tho Marquis of Lansdowne for . tacitly supporting the raising the sum . in the voting clause from eight to fifteen pounds . Mr . Locke King had thought , if ten pound householders made electors in boroughs , the same class would make equally good electors in counties , and had moved accordingly ; however , the house thought

      differently , and threw out the motion by a large majority ; one good had resulted from this , it had caused dissatisfaction enough amongst , alargeclass of Whig supporters , and brought a considerable number over to the Chartist ranks . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Feargus O'Connor had fulfiled his promise , and brought the question of the People ' s Charter "before the House , a question that had an immense mass of supporters out of doors , and of whom Mr . Feargus O'Connor was the representative on this occasion , yet did members , forgetful that they called themselves representatives of the people , desert their post , and allow the honourable Mr . Campbell , son of " Plain John , " to insult an immense mass of the community , by refusing to listen to their

      request . Did not this plainly shew the necessity for their organising , and by legal means effect Buch a changoas would prevent any legislature from again offering such a flagrant , insult to an intelligent people ? ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Stallwood then took acursory view of the proceedings at a recent Old Bailey Session . He ( Mr .. Stallwood ) disagreed with the words used by Baron Alderson while passing sentence in the case of Robert Pate , and commended George Thompson for bringing the matter before the house . Mr . Stallwood called on the people to hasten oh the advent of political and social rights , and sat down loudly applauded . Mr . C . _Uttiso , in seconding the resolution , _differed with some of hia friend StaUwood ' _a

      observations on judicial points ,. but most cordially _concurred with him on all the political points of his speech . ( Cheers . ) Mr . J . B . _Lsno said , the resolution very properly alluded to Ireland , and thafc nation was in every sense grossly maltreated—grossly neglected . Ireland with all her resources , was miserable and most unhappy , whilst by kind treatment , and wise legislation , her Boris might be rendered intelligent , happy , and free . ( Loud cheers . ) England had destroyed her commerce , taken away the means of employing her sons , and then called thein indolent . ( Hear , hear . )* He thought the treatment Mr . F . O'Connor received whilst introducing his motion for tbe Charter , was not only an insult to that gentleman , but to the whole of the working classes

      of the United Kingdom , ( Loud cheers . ) . Mr . D . O'Connor , ; _as an Irishman , thanked his English brethren for _mentioninglhe case of Ireland . —condemned the attempt to raise a monument to the memory of the late , Sir Robert Peel , but was thankful it was not the working classes that were making the attempt—said that one of the speakers had condemned the Irish press , but there bad been a brilliant exception—the Irishman—and he trusted to see that luminary re-appear iu all its pristine radiance . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought Mr . FeargUB O'Connor should have brought on his motion for the Charter at an earlier period of the session ; and said , he kriew that difficulties and dangers stood in the way of progress , but , nevertheless , he trusted

      they would persevere , and success must ultimately crown their efforts . ( Cheers . ) Mr . SiAiLwooD said , after what had just fallen from Mr . D . O'Connor he thought it necessary to say a few words . As regarded the letters in the Morning Chronicle , they had set the wheels of thought in motion , and no one could say when or where their evolutions would stop ; and , hence , he most cordially tendered his thanks to Henry Mayhew . ( Cheering . ) As regarded the working tailors and other associations , ne thought they were damaging those slop slaughter-houses—Moses and Co ,, —aud were most certainly improving the sanitary condition ofthe _whrllfifS Whilst tha _fiftontinn _noi ' _d l » n _Wnltn » llVt

( Loud cheers . ) As regarded tho motion for the Charter , although he would hare liked to hare seen some motion relative to it submitted at an earlier . period of the session , yet , he contended that the large masses of persons represented by Mr . Feargus O'Connor , should have ensured hini respectful attention from a body of men calling themselves tho representatives of the people , even though it had been the last day of the session , instead of the eleventh day of -July . ( Loud cheers . ) ' . ' Mr . _ . O ' Connor explained .

      Mr . J . B . Lmo . said , as a member of the co-operative society , hemiist enter his protest against the charge that co-operation detracted from political movements ; co-operation was designed to give the labourer tho whole product of his industry , and , he contended j that the leaders in those societies were tlie soul of political movements , and that , thoBe societies themselves were one mass of democracy . ( Loud cheers ;) ' ¦ ¦ - _' ¦ After a few woriia ' frojri Mr . Bm » , expressive , of a desire to have a publio discussion on co-operative societies , and in support of the resolution ; Mr .

The dresses were produced , and instead of _lHd ., they were informed the price was ls . 11 $ ., and thatthe length was only five yards . They told the shopman or who ever he was that five yards would not make more than half a dress , and he admitted that was true . They then declined to buy a dress , and were

      leaving the shop when they were induced to return and look at some corded petticoats which were to be had at the low price of two for . _half-a'crown . They agreed to take two and put down _half-a-erown . As Boon as the man had got _possession of the money , he said it was not the practice to sell petticoats alone—they must take three of the dresses at ls . 11 id ., or he would neither give them the petticoats , nor return the money . Finding remonstrance useless , tbey left the shop and mentioned how they had been served to a person who was passing , and he advised them to take their statement to a police-court . They remarked as tbey left the shop

      tbat another female was . apparently complaining of _having had 4 s . 6 d . detained from her in a similar way . —The person who had been appealed to in the street said , as soon as he heard the story of the ladies , he went into the shop , and asked the person who was there how he could act in Buch a way towards two unprotected females . He was resolved that such proceedings should be exposed . The man ih the shop then wished to give back the half-crown , but he would not have anything to do with the affair . —Mr . Bingnani told the applicants that the county court would very soon procure the restoration of the money obtained under such circumstances .

The act was so sudden that witness could not catch a sight of the man's face , nor bad she , for a minute or so , the power of raising an alarm . At this juncture a lad came up to her and pointed out the prisoner , who was running down the street , as the man who had stolen her watch . ' Witness then followed him

      calling out " , stop thief , " until she met with two men , who took up the cry , and joined , in the pursuit as far as Cavendish-street , where he was stopped by a police-constable , and taken into custody . — A lad named Spink said ho was standing near the corner of Duche _83-street , ori Saturday afternoon , about-five o ' clock , wlien he saw the prisoner go up to the prosecutrix , and pull her watch from her side , and run away . —Police constable 74 D , said that he heard the cry of " Stop thief , " and on looking round he saw a man struggling with . the prisoner , who instantly dropped the watch produced . —• Mrs .

" He struck at me and missed me . —The master of the vessel upon being called , said the mate was tantalised , or he would not , ho was convinced , have struck the complainant . —The complainant was then called back , and questioned as to what he had to say in answer to the conduct ascribed to him by the mate .

      the window , or to go to prison to hard labour for a fortnight . As the policeman was conveying him to prison the fellow smashed another pane of glass of more valuo , in Ducklesbury , with his fist , in order to get a longer term of imprisonment , from which he expected the allotment of food would be superior to that which was to accompany the short term . The Lord Mayor , however , at once detected the object , and frustrated it by sending him back to serve ' the fourteen days upon bread and water , and direct- 1 ing that , at the conclusion of that time , he sbould find a surety to the amount of £ 10 to he of good behaviour for three months , and be confined until he j should produce the necessary security .
