fJOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE—Arm . Bravely is the promise to mate every article in this Magazine " breathe with a purpose" fulfilled by the editor and his clever assistant contributors TThere is not a solitary page of this publication that -does not fully redeem the pledges given in the prospectus , and realise all the expectations which were entertained by the most sanguine of its friends . In the story of " St . Giles and . St . James" we have this month a continuation of the progress of the llog-lane hero , who frotn petty larceny has made a stride to the more Turpin-like exploit of horse-stealing , which at the age of fourteen brings him under sentence of death . Much beautiful writing— " thoughts that
breathe and words that burn "—such as DoccLiS -Jkrrold alone could write is to be found in this story . ! Ehe " Cat and Fiddle Moralities , " by the Editor , give promise of rare entertainment ; the " Tale of a Tiger , " contained in the first ef these " Moralities , " is made the medium of enforcing the moral "never to neglect and ill-use a poor relation . For however low and helpless he may seem , the day may come when he shall have about him the strength of a tiger . " " Ilolidays for the People" is an excellent -article , the purport of which may be inferred from itstitlc . The writer suggests that the 3 rd of April , the real or presumed birth-day of William Siiak-SPtiiiE , should henceforth be the great national lioli-« lay of the people of this country . Leaving St .
< Jeorge to the contempt or oblivion he so richly mer its , St . George ' s day must still be tfte day of an Englishman's festival year , it being SiuKSPEAitf- ' s J » irth-jay . The writer goes on to give a fancy picture of the way this holiday will be kept in years lence . Would that his x * osy dreams were realised The suggestion of this writer is a most excellent one , and we think something should at once be done to carry it as far as possible into practical effect . To achieve the full realisation of this writer ' s ideas the public mind requires further enlightenment , and the public taste needs that wise direction which the few must impart , and to effect this the concerted action of the few is needed . Why not commence the national festival tli ' is year ? It would be perhaps the few only
who would at first take part in it ; no matter , " Rome was not built in a day ; " but the sooner the good work is begnu , the sooner will It arrive at a glorious perfection . "A history for Youna : England" is a most valuable paper , containing historical truths not to he found in an ; of the common compilations ot ^ English history we have seen . The period embraced In the present chapter is the terrible seven years of the Gorman conquest from 1060 to 1073 . The character of the Royal bastard is painted with a master's hand , and the butcheries perpetrated by the Normans , and the horrible sufferings of the Saxon-English , are described with thrilling fidelity . Several other Articles in prose and poetry arc to be found in the present number . From the admirable "Hedgehog Letters" we give the following : —
30 Si . MDEl HEDGEHOG , CiUJXTEE SIIOWHAK , RJLTCHFIE HIGHWAT . Deab Sam , —Tin just come home from Hampstead ; and so , while / the matter ' s fresh in my mind , I sit down to write you a few lines . Yod have heard of the awful jmonJer—of coorae . —Well , I don't know : murder's a shocking thiag to be sure ; nobody can say it isn't ; ajifi , jet after what I ' ve seen to-day—Sunday , mind—it does almost seem to me as if people took a sort of pleasure in it J $ less you . ' if you'd only seen the huudreds and hundreds of folks figged out in their very best to enjoy a sight of the place wlicreaman had been butchered , —you'd have thought Haverstock field , stained and cursed as it is whli Mo « d—a second "Vauihall at the V-ast . I ' m sure I ' ve seen people going to Greenwich Pair , with not half ilie pleasure in their faces . However , I'll tell you all about it .
I was called off the standabout eisnt o ' clock this morning bv a gentleman and lady , dressed as I thought for church . They ' re a little early , thought J , but that ' s thdr business . " Take us to HanipsteaiV ' ssiid thejjentlc--jnan ; " and mind ; as near to the murder as possible . " Do , my good inau / ' said the lady—bless you ! to have looked at her you'd lave thought slieVl liave fainted at Ihe sound of murder— " do my good man , " said she , and make haste ; for I wouldn ' t be too late for anything . ¦ 5 akc care of these , '' said she to the gentleman , giving him a liasket , " and niiiul they don ' t break . " Well , it ' s my busness to drive a cab ; so I said nothing but Started forlLunpstvad . Bless you ! before I'd got half up Totlenliuui-court-road , it was no easy driving , I can tell you . Tile ruad swarmed ! Up and down the Kew-road , through Caiiiden Tumi , and right to Htvia'Stoek-hill—I never saw anything like it , except perhaps on the day they run for Hie Derby . —Everybody seemed turned out to eijoy themselves—determined to have a holiday and nomistake .
Well , I drove as near as I could to the place : aim th " en 2 got a hoy to hold the horse , and got down and went along with my fore . If it didn ' t make me savage and sick , Saw , to see hundreds of fellows—well-dressed gentry , wind you!—gaping and lounging about , and HOW snd fliea polonjtJie grass in tli their sticks , as if it was soiiicilr . iig precious because blood had been shed upon it —and now breaking bits off the trees about the place , I suppose to make tuoth-picks and cribbage-pegs of . And then there were fathers—precious fools!—bringing their -children with them , boys and girls , as though they'd brought ' on t » a stall of gingerbread nuts , where they might fill their bellies and be happy . ' Dut the worst of all , Sam , was to see the women . Lots of ' ein niee , young , iair creatures , tender as if they wero made of best wax , — there they were running along , and looking at the bushes , and the grass , and talking of tliu blood , and the deathstruggle—just as if they were looking at and talking of the monkeys at the'Lugical Gardens . Well , the handsomest of ' em after a tune looked to me no better than
young witches , —ami that ' s the truth . "Every minute I expected some of ' em to do a polka , they did after a time Seem so to enjoy themselves . tVdJ , all of « sudden , I missed my fare . Looking about , I saw my gentleman go up to the brick wall . Then he took a heavy hammer out of his pocket , and knocking away , split a brick , and then knocked it out of the wall " This is something Wtn , " saiu lie to me , twinkling bis eye : " something to remember the murder by . " And then lie carefully wrapt the pieces of brick in a silk handierchief , and put ' an in his breast pocket , as if they'd fcc-tn lumps of diamonds . I said nothing—but I could have kicked him . However , he hadn ' t done yet—for going to a part of the field , be said to his wife—for so she proved to be— "This is the place , Arabella ; the very place : where ' s the pots V Then the lady took three garden-pots from a basket , and then her husband , dropping U | . on his fcnees , turned up the earth with a litge clasji-iuiie , and when he'd filled the pots , he dug up two
or three daisy roots , and set ' em ; his wife smiling and looking as happy all the while as if she'd , got a new gOWU , or a aw Ix . uu . it , or both . " Com * , " laid the gentleman , squinting : at the daisy roots , and twistiug one of the pots an his hand— "this is what I call worth coming for . A * Isay , this is something torecdlcet a niui derby . Humph !" amdtii 6 » lie paused a \ &t , and looked very wishfully at . the stile— "Humph ! I should like a . -waUdng-stitik out oftliar ; but the police are so particular , I suppose they wouldn't suffer it . Come aloug , Arabella ; " and securing the broken brick and the daisy roots in the pots , my geiiilenum went back to the cab . " Sow drive as fast as you can to the chun-li ^ he said ; " I wouldn't but be there for any mocsy . " Well , I never did drive through such 1 ¦ croud , but at last I managed it : and at last , —but no ; I laven ' i patience enough to write any more upon tub part cf it . There was nothing wanted in and about the church-_ jari to make it a fair , except a few stalls and such like . " * insae mesiefc , Sam , to look upon # iis murder ' s holiday .

TAITS 5 DJNBURGH MACrAZDJE-ArRiL . With the present month ' s number we have to ackaowledge theireceipt of the numbers for November , December , anil'Jaiiuaiy last ; we shall now be in » position to make ourselves acquainted with Mrs . Joiixstone ' s tale of "The Goldsmith ' s Daughter " from the commencement . Xcxt mouth our readers shall have our opinion thereon . The present number of Tail opens with an article on the glorious German Poet , ' Fjieiuciutii ; his " Poems and Politics . " 0 / this article we shall have something to say in our forthcoming " Feast of the Poets . "
We are glad to meet Box Gacltier again ; though No . i of " Nights in the Martdlo" is not near so good as its predecessors . The -views therein respecting Dickkxs , we beg to enter our protest against . We are glad to find Bos Gaultikb making favourable mention of an old friend of ours , and political coadjutor , Mr . Wiluam M'Dowaix , of Dumfries , who , it appears , has published : i volume of poetry , entitled , " The Man of the Woods * " A specimen isgiven from a poem entitled , "Tiie- 'Martyr of Erromanga , " the subject being the death of Williams , the missionary . We have not room for the'Jiucs , but we agree with the writer in Tait that they are " beautiful . " From Madame Wowkxsokrgek ' s delightful " Let ters from ^ Naples" we give the following notice of
THE JESIUT 3 IS THE VAMXT . OP SORBENTO . The Jesuits only a few years asjo for the first time fixed themselves in this dcMcious valley . At the commencement they were only four , or five in number , 3 nd purchased a small house overhanging the . sea ; . others joined them ; they required more accommodation , and they enlarged their dwelling . The further increase of their numbers obliged them to add a wing to the building , which was now become a seminary . Its ^ inhabitants arc every day extending their power . Yet ; ill this is going on quietly and silently ; no one knows what is passing behind the high walls that surround their garden and dwelling but their influence is daily felt more and more , though those they seek to govern arc unconscious whence it proceeds . But it is ( iseeteised l » r no g « od purpose , Satisfied that the ignorance of the people is the best foundation for their authority , they make no efforts so dispel it , and the poor children of the valley are still as ignorant and neglected as before the pious fraternity became the inhabitants of their shores .
Several reviews of new works , and a continuation of the "Life and Correspondence of Uiebujiij , the Historian of Koine , " complete the very excellent , number of Tait for April .

WADE'S LONDON- REVIEW—Anm . London Orr and Co ., Paternoster-row . . This is a capital number of the London Btyiew The opening article , on the - " Relative Civilisation of Ancient and Modern Nations , " is a most able contribution to , or rather review of , history . Such articles as this , and those on " Religious Changes" in the preceding numbers , stamp this Review as one of the most talented and tearless publications of the present tim » . We should have dearly liked to have transferred to these columns the brief biographical sketch of the immortal Riumis , but cannot possibly afford room to do so . We give the description of the

More than three centuries have silently rolled away since on le Qhui da- Axtgnsl ' ms in Paris , opposite VJlotd d'JIcreuU ( where Chancellor Duprat lived ) , thertfappca ' one day a strange figure , dressed in a long green robe , with an Armenian cap and huge spectacles tied to it , and an enormous iuKIiorn at liis- girdle , and a mob of all the loungers behind him . Attracted by the noise of the crowd , th » chancellor comestQ tlie window , and , on seeing this strange being , dematidswho he is , and « ee « e » as answer , " Je suis ecorchcurvde 91 vcuus . " Duprat is a son of Eve ; Ms curiosity is excited , and he sends a page -to innvure further into the matter . ' The page advances ,
and / eceives a reply m Latin . Away he goes to fetch one who understands that language , and the stranger bursts forth into Greek . A Greek scholar appears , and is saluted in Spanish ; and every new interpreter hears a new language , * till the mighty linguist lias gone through Italian , German , and Hebrew , and perhaps Arabic , Dutch and Danish . The astonished chancellor then himself gives him an audience , and the stranger all at once addresses him in the vernacular tongue , and discovers Iiis name and object , namely , that lie has come on behalf of the privileges of the faculty of Montpelier , and that he l ' ad adopted this method of introduction after having in vain tried every other .

A JOURNEY UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER , FROM ITS MOUTH TO NAUV 00 . THE CITY OF THE LATTER-DAY SAIKTS . By W . Aitkex , of Asnton-uuder-Lyne . The author of this little book is well known to the Lancashire Chartists , as a man whose patriotism and abilities are of » sterling and higk order . He has suffered considerably from the . persecution of the rampant enemies of man's rights , and to this cause , we believe , is to be attributed his American venture . His sojourn in the States appears to have been not oi very long duration j ami , jud g ing by-the work before us , his previous admiration ot'Transatlantic men and things appears , to say the least , not to have been strengthened . His oul-spofe ' cn denunciations of
slavery are just what we should have expected from an honest man battling and suffering for freedom for all . His exposure of the Mormon fraud is an act of mercy to tte dunes of the latter-day " knaves yet remaining in England ; it is to be hoped many of those will make themselves acquainted with the actual state of things at Nauvoo , and thus save themselves the misery of encountering the horrible reality endured by the victims of this wretched imposition . Mr . Ahken ' s visit to the States not being ' a trip of pleasure , but an act of necessity , and his business tlierc being not look but livati-inaking , his opportunities of seeing the country were necessarily very limited . His first point of landing was New Orleans
—aplace which , according to Mr . Aitkex ' saccount of it , we . should have no desire to visit . From New Oricinsjie sailed 1 , 300 miles up the Mississippi to St . Louis . Travelling was very cheap , but at St . Louis it was found that hundredswere out of employment , for whom subscriptions were being raised , and whom it was proposed to transport to th * Ovegon . After coiaiderable labour and suffering ,. Mr- Aitkes succeadetl ia obtaining a school-teachei : * glace in the Stater of lU ' mois , the cause of abau ^ sning : which is iiofi . stated .

wretched hovels , suffering thorout rh destitution . Mr Aitkks encountered the prophet , *™ ^ notorious Joi Smith , who , as our readers are aWi « "e > has susec beei assassinated . He is described as ' a coarse , illiterate brazen-faced impostor , with a tende . ncy to swear Jiki a Billingsgate fish-wife . Some ncco ant 01 the Mor inon fraud is given : a more contel nptible piece 0 jugglery never was attempted by the veriest monnte bank . Mr . Aitkks ' s descriptive powers aft' no way insig . nificant ; we arc , therefore , sorry tha \ f instead o occupying space with the "lecture arid th ( "' poetry , " he did not give us some accou nt of his Jin instead , and the customs of the inhabit mts ilunnj his six months' teaching in Illinois . We & nould alsc have been glad to have had some particula re , of Jus journey back to England . The book has cer . ' aiiily an unfinished appearance , and that ia its wora t iaulfc . We had marked several nassnffps descriptive of the
revolting state of the slaves of New Orleans t \ w extract , but cannot afford room for them . Mr .. Aitkks ' s statements of the condition of the slaves , - And the brutal ruffianism of their infamous Republican ( I ) masters , are truly shocking . Journeying up the Mississippi , Mr . Ahkex had several opportunities of conversing with the plantation slaves . He desoribes their Jot as anything but enviable , and their desire for liberty as universal . That portion of Mr . Folk's message ( given in our last ) relative to the abolitionists , cannot fail to excite the most intense disgust in the breasts of all who may read Air . Aitkex ' s account of United States slavery . Mr . Ahken ' s "Journey , " which is published tor ashilling , is printed by Williamson , of Ashton-under-Lvne ; but we presume may also be had of the Manchester and London publishers . We cordially recommend it to our readers ; they will find in its contents much , that is valuable and interesting .

THE RUNAWAY-APPRENTICE ; OR , A PEEP INTO THE FACTORY SYSTEM , London G . Berger , Ilolywell-street . This is a curious little book , containing something of the lite of one who appears to have endured some hard buffettings in the course of his mortal pilgrimage . The author is , we believe , » working man , born in France of English parents . Driven freiu that country by the revolutionary outbreak' of- " 1739 , his parents took refuge in Holland . Here , on the arrival of tlie British army in 1703 , the author ' s father re-joined the military ; he had previously served in America , under GenenilWotFE . In the deplorable retreat of 1795 , the author lost las father . The wretched man died of his wounds and cold ,
leaving Jus two children whom he had with him , the author , then a boy nine years old , and his sister , a , year older , to the tender mercies of his comrades . Two villains of the British army took charge of the children , but robbed them of their money left by their father , and finally deserted them at Bi-amilly , on the llhine . Here , at first taken care of by a benevolent German family , they were subsequently transferred to the British Corsul , and by him sent to England . On their arrival in this country the orphans were taken to the Military Hospital at Chelsea , from there to the workLouse . of that parish , and finally were sold by the parish officers to a mill-owner ia _ Lancashire of the name of Douglas , who had two mills near Castlemoore , not far , we believe , frorii Eccles .
lhe hdhsh factory-system of that time , described by the author of this little book , must bave been the most atrocious system of robbery , tyranny , aritl cruelty , that ever cursed the earth . After enduring and witnessing the most heart-rending brutalities , and after many futile attempts at escaping ,, the , last of these attempts was successful . He walked about 200 miles , and at length reached the metropolis . '' In London , he obtained employment as pot-boy , and after serving in this and a similar capacity in several puhlic-houscs , he at length obtained a better situation in the house of a medical gentleman . He " subsequently lived in several families as a " gentleman's servant , " and seems to have considerably improved his circumstances at that time . The narrative
abruptly concludes at the period of the author ' s twenty-fourth year . It waa only then that he became acquainted with the fate of his mother , who was in England at the time of his lather ' s death . About the same time he rceovei'ed possession of his sister , whom he had been constrained to leave behind at the factory-hell . _ We had marked for extract several passages descriptive of the horrors of the factory-system , fifty years ago , but want of room compels us to withhold them . This little book has many faults of composition , but considering that the author passed his childhood and youth , without any one to guide him in tlie paths of knowledge , that he was twenty years old before he learned to read , and then was his own teacher : considering these things , we think it reflects great credit on him to be able to write at all , much more a book
01 any kind . We believe this , too , is not his first attempt , as we see lie describes himself as the author of " Itanibles with the British army in 1793 ^ 94-05 , " and'" Life among the Spindles ; " but of these works , nob having seen t / tem , we can say nothing . ' It only remains for us to recommend . this little book to our readers , which we do most willingly .. We had almost forgot to say , that the reminiscences oi the author ' s " campaigning , " contained in the work before us , we have . perused with much pleasure , on account of his humane and enlightened views . on the subject of that scourge of the earth—War . We understand that he has published the present narrative with the view of assisting himself aud family ; and we sincerely hope that that view may be realized . Toward that end , we think , it not . inadvisable . to give tlie author ' s name and residence : —Henry William Thompson , 1 , Oxford-place , Westmiiister-road .

PUNCH . —Pakt XLV . With well-sustained wit and talent in every department , l'unch pursues his triumphant course . The part before us is brimful of fun , with that due admixture of serious matter which has earned for Panc / i , as the friend of the oppressed and the punishcr of the wrongdoer , a popularity unattained by any similar publication . The illustrations iu this part are all excellent ; but ' we-must specially single out "'Peel ' s Bane and Antidote , " " Stand and Deliver , " "The Wellington Pet , " "Peels Dirty Little Boy , " and " The Reconciliation . " This lust is truly excellent ; it represents the reconciliation of the peer and the peasant—the former trampling down the hatefu l Game Laws , Poor Laws , and other remnants of feudpl despotism ; and the latter extinguishing under his foot the incendiary ' s torch . But this excellent picture must bo seen to be appreciated . We take the following extract from " The Caudle Curtain Lectures , " at present publishing weekly in Punch : •—
MR . CAUDLE 1 US JlEE . V to guzEXWICH FAIR , Heml—So , Mr . Caudle : I hope you enjoyed yourself at Greenwich . How do I know you've been at Greenwich ? I know it very well , sir : know all about it : know more tlian you think I know . I thought there wns something in tlie wind . Yes , 1 was sure of it , when you went out of the house , to-dcy . I knew it by the looks of you , though I didn't say anything . Upon my word ! And you cjOI yourself a respectable man , and tlie father of a famil y ! Going to a fair amongst all sorts of people—at your time of life . Yes ; and never think of taking your wife with you . 0 no ! you can go ami enjoy yourself out , with 1 don't know 'who : go out , and make yourself very pleasant , I dare say . Don't tell me ; I hear what a nice companion Mr . Caudle is : what a good-tempered person . Ha ! I only wish people rould see you at home , that's all . But so it is with men . They can toepnll their good temper for out-of-tioors—their wives never . ace auy-of it : O deav ! I ' m sure I don't know . who'd be a poor woman ! : ¦
Now , Caudle , I ' m not in an ill temper ; not at all . I know I used to be a fool when we were ^ first married : I used to worry and fret myself to death' wlien you went out but I ' ve got over that . I wouldn't put myself out of the way now for the best man that ever trod . For what thanks does a poor woman get ? None at all . No :, it ' s those who don't care for their families , wiio are , tlie -best thought of . I only wish I could bring myself not tojiare for mine . j . 'J , And why couldn't you say , like a man , you were going to Greenwich Fairwhenyou went out ? It ' s no ' use'your saving that ,. Mr . Caudle : don ' t tell me that you didn't think of going ; you'd made your wind up to it , audyou know it . Pretty games you ' ve had , no doubt ! I should like to have been behind you , that's all . A man at your timeof life ! Aud I , of course , I never want to go out * 0 / nol I mt'y sfciy at home with the cat . You couldn ' t think of
taking your wife and children , like any other Aeeent man , to a fair . 0 , no ; you nercrcare to be seen with ' xis . 1 ' iii sure many people don't know , you ' re married r how can they ! Your wife ' s never seen with you . 0 , no ; anybody but those belonging to you ! ' Greenwich Fair , indeed !

Mmefii 3 i » t , at half-past eight o ' clock . Mr , © twfewa&ealfedi to the cbair , and introduced Mr . Bladkuore- tO ' iBe . w tbt first resolution . Mr . BJacltriiwe- s » fcl , ne liepet ) tbis meeting might be considered a » the ee » KH » Jw& » ient of n new era in this district . He lelieyetJ tba * tlie working classes had in a , very "Beat Kkeaawro to thank their own apathy for the miseries "they endttretl . ( Hear , lieiiK ^ Mr . BlackmiHre ewieludwl by moving ihe following resolution : — "That ibis Meeting views
with extreme regret the p * ese » t apathy and want of union existing in the ranks oi" the working classes , and hereby pledge tlieniselm ituHrUUially and eolleehvel v to renewed exertions in the great and good cans © of Chartism . " Mr . Mills , a veteran in the ranks of radical reform , conlially seconded the motion . , Mr . John West , of MacclcsfieM , then rose to suppOKt the resolution ,. and was received with loud cheers . ' " He said the condition of the working classes for some time past had been so bad that he was astonished that apathy could prevail , and that thousands could endure pining want and starvation so ouietly . ( Hear , hear . ) Yet he aid not despair . He thought from recent proceedings ho was warranted in saying that the cause of Labour never had brighter
prospects than nt the present time . ( Cheers . ) Tlie working classes did not now take up their opinions in a moment of enthusiasm to lay them down again the moment they grew cool . No ; their opinions wvr were the result of a palm and deliberate conviction . .. ( Cheers . ) Parliament had said they could do nothing for the working classes , although they kt iew that thousands were jh a state of destitution and misery . "What a pretty set of legislators they iaustbe . ! . But if they really could do nothing for the welfare , pf the State , let them resign their places to better iiieii , who had the good sense to know a remedy , and honesty and moral courage sufficient to apply ^ iat remedy . ( Cheers . ) Sir Robert Peel had made a bid far , beyond that small man , Lord John
Russell , and thus shutout the greatest enemies tlus \ v 6 riu » £ ' classes ever had—the Whigs . ( Cheers . ) There was now a sort of go-between , party . Young England , who offered the working classes a little bit of acabbage garden at the back of the house ; bat Ue ( Mr . West ) demanded , on behalf of his order , as much land as would furnish them with all the requisites of life . Lord Egei'ton , too—and by tlie way he ( Mr . West ) must say that ' ll ( Lord E . ) was as good a man . as was to bo found iii thelAiiks of the old feudal aristocracy—had found it necessary to cultivate a better understanding with the workers . Well , his son became of age . The heads , of beer barrels vere knocked in , and there was beef anil mutton in abundance ; so that the poor woi-keia for the nonce might
cat and drink to their hearts' content . At the conclusion of this portion of the feast , her ladyship , like a fine old English gentlewoman , she must fleetly lead the ball , and she invited the colliers' wives to dance tlie Polka . But , 0 ! the uncivilised brutes , they did not kuow how to dance the Polka , ( Laughter . ) What 1 English colliers and their wives not know how to dance the PoJka ? Horrid barbarism ;! » ( Koarsof laughter . ) This was not to be endured ; so her ladyship had a saloon erected , and sent for three French 'dancing * nmtov ^ fi'Mn London ; and—0 , glorious ' progress of civilisation!—colliera and their wives can now dance the Polka III ( Loud laughter . ) Well , Lord Francis was not to be outdone by His good lady , so he immediately had portions of liis immense estate cut out
into halt acres , three-quarters of an acre , and acre , and acre and a half allotments , to be cultivated by the poor ; and in order to give the full advantage , he allowed them to choose it cow from his well-bred stock , paying ibr the same by instalments , and yet allowing them the animals at far below the market value . ( Cheers . ) These things were good , as lav its they went . ( Hear , hear . ) But such ' small amendments must not allure the working classes from their great 1 object , the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) He did not wish to take from the rich what tliey now possessed , but he did wish that his order should create wealth for themselves for the future . ( Hear , hear . ) We ( said Mr . West ) complain . of . the legislation of those fellows down at Westminster , ami God knows
not without reason , but the legislation of the manufacturers of the north was infinitely worse , ' for by" their laws they not infrequently made a man work the whole week without wages , and pay for the privilege into the bargain ! Mr . West then ably went into the questions of capital arid labour , supply and demand , and made an eloquent and touching appeal on behalf of the Hand-loom Weavers , on whose behalf lie had come to London . He resumed his seat amidst the loudjsi applause . The resolution was then put , and carried unanimously . Mr .- Pattenden moved the second resolution as follows : — " That this meeting having carefully discussed the present condition of tlie working classes , feel confident that nothing short ofa House of Commons elected on the principles of
the People ' s-Charter , will secure to theiri ihdSC rights to which they m ' o so justly entitled . Mr . Frazcr , in an eloquent and very able speech , seconded the resolution . Ho was greatly applauded . Mr . Bentolc ( of Maeclesfield ) said he could most cordially support the resolution , and felt the full force of the argument it contained . He recollected perfectly the great turn-out of 1842 , and from his experience , then obtained , he felt fully convinced that nothing short of a House of Commons elected by the whole people would do justice to society at large . ( Hear , hear . ) Trades' Unions might tend to alleviate their condition , but so lonu as class Wls .
lation existed , so long would there be privation , misery , and destitution . He therefore ew 4 ialJy supported the resolution , convinced as he wa i * that until the people . obtained- their Chartev never . Wld they be either contented , happy , or free . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Stout came forward arid said a few words in opposition to the resolution , giving Socialism the preference over Chartism ; - Mf .. West . replied , evide ^ ily lo tlie satisfaction of the meeting .. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously . Mr . T .. M . Wheeler moved a vote of thanks to the cliairnvan , N > Ylueh was carried by acclamation , and . the meeting was dissolved .

Just then , one ofklie natives , entirely aaked , leayaA upon the tnffmil * anwl , braniiishing a MNKtr , dared tha crew to come on beavd . An anaed native stood guard at eadi side , aavl hami » ti s , belftxitig pins , awl other missiles had been collected for tht'ir ws » . autt vtere
hurled furiously at the boat though mtliout much injury . The mate then watted ibr the other boat , * mu \ consuhed as to the best method- of retaking tUe ship . It was . \> vt ) poscv \ that the boats should advance and hoavi her , one upon each side , at the same time ; but Mr . Siaitb , ths mate ^ who had becom e master by the captain ' s death , ( ivonbsed that both ci'cws slionld makt > tho attack with onoboat , and leave him in the other . This proposal was received with no favour , tlie men *\ eclaring they would sooner start for-the nearest - 'land and risk the chance of escape . Mi % Clwigli ,- ' - > tlw nail acted as Mv . Smith ' s steersman , had several times darted his lance at the savage on the taftVail ; but the distance was too great , and he requested to
be rowed nearer , lint Mv . Smith thought th& danger too great , and refused to approaoh the ship . Mv . Cloiigh proposed several other devices , but , in default of aid from others ,, resolved to retake tho ship himself , lie accordingly , after dark , was taken by the boat ahead ' of the ship at some distance , to avoid exciting suspicion , and taking a knife in Ms teeth to defend himself from sharks , which had been attracted by tli ' e whsile , swam to the ship , after a hard struggle of an hour and a half , during . which two sharks kept him company , but did not offer to molest liiin . Having reacijed ^ the ship lie dived under , seized the Tudder . ftfevjkke heel , and climbed to tlie . starboard cabin-wiii ( J 6 w ^ . '' throtigh which he made his entry . Laying asid& . liis clothes , and ascertaining that 116
suspicion existed of his being on board , he groped about tor . arms , and found two cutlasses and two niuskets . Avhiclf'he loaded . While loading . otic ; he lieard some' one descending the stairs . Running thither he grasped a cutlass , and a struggle ensiled " . Mr . Clough succeeded in throwing his antagonist , thrust out one of his eyes , and left him for dead , having been severely wounded himself in the contest . No sooner had he left liis supposed victim , than he got up and furiously renewed the attack ,, but finally fell down from loss of blood . Mr . CJoiigli , going again to the gangway , saw another person with a cutting spade : he shot him from below , through the heart ; but juat as he fred the spade was thrown at him , and disabled his left arm . A thin person
came to the gangway with another spade , but soon went forward . Mr . Clough then hailed the boats , . which , were very near , told th ? m he had killed two oi ' the mutineers , and was himself dangerously wounded , and urged them to come at once on board They refused , as they had beard but one discharge , feared only ono had been'k'illed ; and they did not think it safe . Alter abontlialf an homy hearing no-noise , they catuc alwavd , struck a light , and went Into the cabin . The mail with whom Mr . dough hadin'st contended was found on the transom , his eye hanging on Ills cheek , and "his body covered with gore . He did not move , bnfc merely groaned , whereupon Mr . Smith , the mate , fired a musket at him , and one ot his men thrust him through with a cutting spade ; he was then thrown into the sea . The deck was tracked
with clotted blood ; the headless body of Captain Norris was found , with that of one of his murderers . The other mutineer jumped 6 vevWitl , - l > nt returned , surrendered , and was taken to Sydney . Tlie Sharon completed her voyage under Mr . Smith , Mr . Cloiigh acting as second mate . This is an extraordinary narrative , and in some of its details almost ' incredible . If it be entirely true , it is difficult to tell whether most lo admire the heroism and daring of Mr . Cough , or to despise the cowardice of Mr . Smith and the crew . The Mercury says that tlie owners of the Sharon have given Mr . C ' lmigh the command of a fine ship , which , if the narrative be true , lie lias well deserved . We believe the fact of this mutiny was reported some months ago , though it » details have never before been so fully stated .
