      Robert OuJea ' t _JournaL Par t L J . Clayton and Son , Strand ; and Watson , Queen ' s Head-passage , Paternoster-row ¦ "T he _vanerafclo patriarch of SociaKsin _in-Ms new Journal , exhibits ' Ms wonted ptuwithropy , hopefulness , enthusiasm , aiid consistency . He proposes through its medium to explain * themeans " to well-place , _well-employ , and well educate the population ofthe world ;" Those who are familiar with the . previous writings of Mr . Ow _^ ¦ will _aee Httle that is

      novel in Ms journal , those who are not so , _vrill find the leading principles and objects of lis system stated with , force and perspicuity As usual Mr . Owen reproduces and insists emphatically on the fundamental importance ofthe great principle he has so long expounded , relative to the formation of the human character .. This is the cardinal princip le of his new Science of Society , and upon its troth or falsehood rests the whole ofthe elaborate system he propounds to the world . Itis essential , therefore , to a right comprehension of Owenian Socialism , that the student should master this primary principle .

      Hr . Owen , however , shows thathe is notss most people who have not read' his works ¦ fancy him—a mesre abstract theorist or dreamy metaphysician . The interesting account of what he did at New Lanark , proves , that , lo Ms conclusions tight or wrong , ' they "were deduced from a larger , more varied , and more practical experience than it has fallen to the lot of most men to be favoured with , and to all who test theories hy their practical results , "Mr . Owen ' s must commend itself as being based on the onl y true and sound method of reasoning—that of induction . -It rests on facts , not assumptions . . As ' a sample of the eminently practical nature of Mr . Owen ' s mind , -we take a few extracts from tho article entitled " The

      Practical Arrangements requisite to he united with Spade Cnltivation . " _Thirtyyearsagoieexplained his views in a "Report to the County of Lanark , and they are even more applicable and pertinent at the present day , than Ihey were when he first presented them . He ¦* ys — The evil for whioh your Heporter has been _required to provide a remedy , is tiie general want of employment , _iat wages sufficient to support the family of a working man beneficially for the comaunity . - - ¦ ¦

      After the most earnest consideration of the _subject , he has heen compelled to conclude , that such employment cannot he procured through the medium of _trader commerce , or manufactures , or even Of agriculture , until the government and the legislature , cordially supported by the country , shall previously adopt measures to remove obstacles , which , without such interference , will now permanently ieep tie working classes in poverty and discontent , and gradually deteriorate all the resources of the empire .

      The following considerations , deduced from the first and most obvious princip les of the science of political economy , have convinced your Reporter , that some formidable artificial obstacle intervenes to obstruct the natural improvement and progress of society . . - '' - '• . 1 st , That manual labour , properly directed , is Jhe sonrce of all wealth , and of national prosperity . 2 nd , Thai when properly directed , labour is of far more value to the community than the expense necessary to maintain the labourer in considerable comfort . - - ¦ - ¦ ¦ 3 rd , Thai manual labour , properly directed , may be made to continue of this value in all parts of the world , under any supposable increase of its populationffor many centuries to come . .

      , _iih _, That under a proper direction of manual labour , Great Britain and its dependencies may be Bade to snpport an incalculable increase of population , most advantageously for all its inhabitants . _hik , ThAfc , when manual labour stall be " bo directed , it will fee found that population cannot , for many years , be stimulated to advance , as rapidly as society might be benefitted by its increase . After showing the immense increase of productivei powerplaced at our disposal by modern science , and tiie mischief that results' from the misapplication of these means , Mr . Owen proceeds : —* "Measures are required , which will permit the

      labouring nnocenpiedpoor to be employed to raise their own subsistence , and as largea _Burplus forthe infant , the aged , and the incapacitated poor / as their labour can be made to yield ; the labourer to receive an equitable remuneration for the surplus fce may create .- 7 The leading principle which should direct us in . the outline of these necessary arrangements , and from which there should be no deviation in any of their parts , is this pnblie good , or the " general interest of the whole population . To this end , the following considerations most be tfmbined . " 1 st , "Where , in general , can the labourers be best © laced for spade cnltivation ? .....

      2 nd , "ffhatis the quantity of . landwiucn it may De theindstadTantageous to cultiviate , in cumulo , by _thespade ? 7 , " . .. 3 rd , What number of workmen can he most beneficially employed together , with a view to all tha objects oftheir labour ? 4 th , What are the best arrangements under whieh ihese men and their families can be well and _econo-Jmcaliy lodged , fed , clothed , trained , educated , employed , and governed f '» _Trxv Sift , mat it the best mode of disposing of the Wrptas produce to be thus created by their labour ? 6 th , _"Whatarethemeantbest calculated to render the conduct aud industry of these workmen beneficial to their neighbours , to their country , and to foreign natioM ?

      These are some of the leading objects whieh naturally arise for our consideration , in firming arrangement s for the introduction of the spade , as a substitute for the plough cnltivation . -, '¦ ¦ -: ' ' The first object of the political economist , id forhnng these arrangements , must be , to consider well under what limitation of numbers , individuals lhould be associated to form the first nucleus or division of society . All his future proceedings will he materially h > fluencedby the decision of this point , whic h is one of the most difficult problems in the _sclenee of politicaleconomy . ' ~ . _. 7

      VYhatever fanciful notions may . govern , the mere closet theorist ,. who " bo oftsn loads the " public mind astray from its true coarse , the practical economist will never come to any one conclusion that is inconsistent with ths foregoing fundamental principle of his science ; well knowing , that where there ' is , in--consistency , there must be error . ; " [[" .

      association of any lesser " or greater number . But from 800 to 1 , 200 , will be found the most desirable number to form into agricultural villages ; and , unless some very strong local . causes , interfere , the permanent _arnmgements should be adapted to the complete accommodation of that amount of population only . ' _"Villages bf this extent ; , in the neighbourhood of others of a similar description , - at _durdistauces , will be fomd capable of-combining within themselves all the advantages that city , and country residences now afford , without any of . the numerous inconveniences and evils , which necessarily attach to both those modes of sooiety . -

      But a very erroneous ; opinion will be formed of the proposed arrangements , and ofthe social ad vantages which theywill exhibit , if it should be imagined from what has heeu said , that they will in any respect resemble , any of the present agricultural villages of Europe , or the associated communities in America , except in so Jar as the latter ibay be founded on the principle of united labour , . _expendi- ; ture ; and property , and equal privilege *; \ .

      The Christian Socialist. Nob. 1, 2,Jmd 3...

      The Christian Socialist . Nob . 1 , 2 , jmd 3 , J . Watson , London ... The new party—* whoie tracts we recently no * ticedin this department of the "Star "—have taken another step in advance , by issuing this weekly and authorised organ' of its principles and objects . The fact of itself implies progress and organisation , and the admirable spirit in which the new periodical is written , promises to win fresh accessions of strength to the " new movement . - ' " - We have alread y alluded to it as one of the

      most hopeM of the day . Progress and Christianity have been too long tacitly set down as alien to each other . Infidelity in some shape has been assumed and asserted to lie at the basis of every attempt to win for tbe toiling masses any large and liberal measures of political and social amelioration . Tens of thousands of honest and benevolent men have thus been induced to close their ears to the advocates of these measures , and have lived in ignorance of the real sentiments and objects of those who proposed them , when in reality , their hearts and sympathies were directed towards the same ends . It is not to

      be wondered at , that persons who live under a deep and habitual sense ofthe awfully preponderating importance of spiritual , compared with temporal interests , shonld shrink -from aiding those who seek to promote the latter , if by-so doing they necessarily expose themselves to come in contact with parties who scoff at their most cherished and most sacred feelings and associations . Hence snch persons have heretofore been lost to the popular cause for all radical and substantial purposes , and

      yet they are , by constitution and habit , peculiarly fitted to promote its success . * They are accustomed to pay deference to authority , to act in organised bodies for a common / object , to work more than talk , when once they understand the Mnd of wort they have to do ; and it is precisely-these qualities that are reqnired , to enable the popular cause to make head against similar qualities and agencies-at the controul and disposal of those who now rule over us , for their benefit ; not ours .

      Whatever , therefore , may be' the . ultimate result of some ofthe plans ofthe "Christian Socialists , " —whether their co-operative workshops and stores may realise their benevolent wishes and anticipations or not—they must effect an immediate benefit , by appealing to this large class of our fellow conntrymenj and by showing them that Socialism , instead of being incompatible with , is in fact the positive and practical embodiment of Christianity for this age . The idea is by no means a new one ;

      but it comes from a new quarter . What might have been listened to with a pardonable scepticism , when put forward by-those who professed tobelongtono Christian communion , and whb merely deduced the assertion as : a logical inference from certain texts in the Scriptures , must command grave ¦ « nd earnest attention , when enunciated by clergymen occupying . distinguished positions inthe Church , forthe vast extentoftheirlearning , the blameless nature of their lives , - and 7 their unassuming , but genuine philanthropy . >''

      The opening article of the first number"The New Idea' '—vigorously and frankly expounds the ' basal propositions-on which the Christian Socialists take their stand . It asserts that Socialism , without those moral grounds of self-sacrifice , mutual , affection , and common ; brotherhood which Christianity vindicates to itself for an everlasting heritage—is as lifeless as the feathers without the bird , however skilfully the stuffer may dress tbem np into Ian artificial semblance of life . On the other hand , Christianity , * * when divorced from Socialism , . when cramped up within the four walls of its churches or chapels , and forbidden to go forth into th _« wide

      world , conqnering and to conquer , to aBsert God's rightful dominion over every procesB of trade and industry , over every act of ourcomirion life , and to embody , in due forma o f orga-. nisation every deepest truth of that faith committed to its Aarg » , " becomes ohilly and helpless . They . fay that Christ ' s ; gospel "is wholly incompatible with a political economy wliich _prociaime self-interest to be the : very pivot of social _« etio"b , and that a _eyatein of Profit , which has adopted for ita maxim _V bny cheap and sell dear , " cannot cohere with a gospel whieh commands , « * * Thou _shalt love thy neig hbour as thyself / ' And , finally , they conclude- — ¦ " -

      That if Christ ' s gospel be true , then-it is compatible with those theories or systems which , however mistaken in their means , yet . have for common obiect to bind np into fellowship , and not to divide by selfishness and rivalry ; to substitute fair prices and livine waires for a false cheapness _andstarvauAHiT _^ _And _tt ? 7 _^ , _ft _^ e _¦«« watch-words "Association " -and " Exchange , m-• tead of " Ck > mpetiUon _! _r and 'Profit . ; . The Council of '' -the Society for Promotmg Working Men ' s Associations" have , therefore , undertaken to diffuse the principles of , _co-ope , ration Us the practical app lication of Chnstianity to the purposes of trade and industry . * " ? But they use the term Christianity in no sectarian sense , as will . be seen by what follows : — ...

      The Lever: Social And-Political. Part 1....

      The Lever : Social and-Political . Part 1 . James O'Neil , Castle Place , Belfast . OjVE of the most hopeful signs of progress that have reached ns from - ' " the Sister Isle" for many a long year . The Press of Ireland has been so purely sectarian or partisan , that the eye of thef genuine' Political and , Social - Reformer could discern M the . future few indications of the emancipation of a people , whose

      mental food _^ was such dry stubble and rubbish as that supplied by mere party writers ; The appearance of the The Lever marks a new era of Irish periodical literature . It is a proof that a public has at , length been created to whom such writers can appeal , however small it may be , and it is in the nature of such publications as The Leverj , when once- introduced , to . _leaveh the whole mass of society with-the great and glorious principles it propounds . - _, -

      Besides proving an immense advance in public opinion 6 h ; the other side of the Irish Channel , The X _^ er _* . adds another to the numerous manifestations of a _^ growing identity and unity between _Political' and Social Eeformers . . ' . We do not mean small societies _^ that assume . to themselves names , tbe largeness of which is belied b y the limited sphere of their influence , the paucity of their numbers , and the meagreness of their resources .

      There is a great public opinion outside bf these petty , sectional , movements , as yet unorganised ,, but thoroughly 7 imbued ' . with the spirit whioh breathes through the columns of The Lever ; . and the next National Movement will moat assuredly not be for the . Charter alone , but include the Land and Labour Questions , wMchfno \ vVmore and [ more grow into their trae-diniensipns . before , the . eyes . of , the struggling industrial millions . ¦ ¦ ' [; -:

      • ••* "i - - ¦ ADELPHI THEATRE . ; . A new domestic _dramaj from the pens of Messrs . Brough and Bridgman ; called . Jessie Gray , has been produced at . _thisjheatre ; and with that-sure success which cannot ; fail to procure for fit _a-long . and triumphant run , A certain wealthy * baronet ( Mr , H . Hughes ) , has a nephew ; ( Mr . Boyce ) , who looks up to him for his patrimony , and who , at the moment the piece opens , is clandestinely paying his addresses to a young lady ( Madame Celeste ) , who passes aB the niece of a _medioalmaii ( Mr . O . Smith . ) * The match is distasteful to . the baronet , who spurns the notion of allowing hia _niphew to

      unite with one beneath him : in worldly rank , and who , in faot , designs him as the husband of a certain lady of title . The nephew chivalrously prosecutes his suit in spite of his linole ' _s remonstrances , and boldly braves the threat of disinheritance in case of his contumacy . The uncle in this extremity has recourse to artifice to " prevent the match ' , and by means , allowable , perhaps , in' melodrama , but hardly , coming within the limits of toleration in the world ' s warfare , succeeds in blasting the oharacter of the young lady , and in severing the tie of love which had subsisted between her and the nephew . But the unele , _;" rapulsive : as his _charaeteriamadefin the melodrama , is hot withputf his troubles in this life . Some , years before the drama opens , he . as

      he supposes ; -has lost his only child , the / issue' ofa marriage contracted in defiance of the wishes of his relatives . This child' however , as the story of the drama explains ,. has been fostered and brought up by a kind friend » and the indefatigable explorer of the intricacies of Adelphi plots ' will , perhaps , not receive a very violent shook to hia sense of dramatic probability , when he is told that the _sup-Eosed niece of the ; doctor and the daughter ofthe aroritt are one and the same person ; or , ihat the father , maugre . some little scruples , on the score of consanguinity , which to this day have _aotbeen entirely set at rest , is only toohappy to be at once , an " unky " and , a father-in-law . - ' Nothing ' could be finer in that peculiar _style of apting which _Mftdame

      Celeste . has made her own than her impersonation of the heroine . Her innocence , her love , her sorrow , and her ultimate triumph , were depicted with a fidelity which met with the warmest appreciation . A striking proof of the completeness of the illusion was afforded ina scene in which she is tendered a letter by means of which she is to btf entrapped . In the midst ofthe most breathless silence a . stentorian voice from the gallery roared out '' don't take it , " with anfenergy which setthe whole house _laughingin a moment . _. Poronoe in a way Mr _^ . 0 . Smith is . permitted tb appear , on the , stage' aa an honest man .- After , the . terrible reputation he has made as a stage villain , it was quite a-relief _to-find him in a character _ . which __ required . fperpe _" iual _.. _opticaly _^ ef erence _* tp the . pocket ( handkerchief ,, and draughts ' upon the sentimental . / In the underplot

      the principal personage is Jukes ( Mr ., Honey ) , a medical student , and also pupil and assistant of Dr . Gray . - Mr . Honey , by his quaintand dry style of acting , kept the house in a roar of laughter from beginning to end ; and ' another great hit was in the person of _. Proifessoi * Ootavius _, Ches ' torf ( Mr , ' . Paul Bedford ) , ofthe posesplastigues ,. who parodies the _Professor-Warton-like look irresistibly ; and Lizzy Walters ( a marchande de - mode ) was piquantly played by . Miss K .-fUitzwilliam .

Compelled to hew his way to fortune by the _swordjhe enters the _* eryioe of _theShah of Persia , and attains the highest military rank in that Eastern potentate ' s army . Fortune has smiled" on him , and he thinks that the very . best , reason fer not frowning upon the object of his ohoioe in less prosperous days . That common- infirmity ot Eastern

      princes , an inordinate admiration ofthe fair : sex , is ¦ shared by our Shah , andhe _^ no ; sooner beholds the chosenhride of _hisvictorious general than he"desires to possess her . . This little want Mirzahas . considerable scruples in gratifying , and he flatly tells the Shah' to look nearer home for his amorous amusements . f The Shah thereupon declares Mirza to be rebellious , and he is banished from tho land ; but he contrives , in the disguise , of ' an _Arabjand with , the aid of the miraculous palfrey , to enter the E alacebf the Shah and oarryeff the lady of'his eart ; whom our . Bluebeard had" enslaved . The Shah is ultimately made to pay dearly for his little

      error , for Mirragoes to war with him and deprives himofhislifeand kingdom . As a speetacle , this piece is very successful .
