THE CHIEFTAINS AND OTHER POEMS By Hesry GRACCHra , gentleman . London : 16 * Great Windmill-street , aed 1 U , High Holborn . 'Henry Graeehm , ' 13 by this tlms well known to our readers is the author of several political eoemaof a thorougMy democratic character , which have of late appeared in this journal . The first of tk 038 paems entitled " The Apotheosis , " we deemed to ba too good to paa pnnoticed ; we accordingly expressed our good opinion in n » stinted terms . Succeeding poem * called forth the applause of our readers generally , and one poem , entitled " Lowtands , " was , we believe , reprinted for distribution byalady residing at Bath , who appears to be both an enthusiastic admirer of the poet , and of the land
rian so warmly eulogised in the above named poem . Indeed , Sir . O'Connor ' s achievments as the founder aed principal manager of the Land Company , apl pear to ba the favourite theme of ' Henry Grac-Ckua / The main portion of the principal poem entitled ' The iCbleftainV is an enthusiastic in bate to the Tirtues , genius , and laboara of the Chartist chief , and democratic member for Nottingham . That portion of the poem has already appeared in this journal ; - the remaining portions , published for the first time in this collection , sing the praises of Ernest Jones , and —— . The other ' political pieces are 'An Essay on the abrogation of the PnnishmeBt of Death , ' some excel .
lent lines on the Scottish Martyr . Thomas Mnir ; VThe Laad and the Charter , ' ' Lowlands , ' The Apotheosis , * ' The Tower Hamlets Gathering ' "The Battle / / The Victory / 'Toe Silent Lyrej ' and a slashing satire on the ' Press Gang , ' excited by the vile attempts of the said ' gang , ' to damage the popularity of Mr O'Connor and destroy the Land Company . We notice several non-political pieces , which possess not the least of the pure elements of poetry , simplicity and sweetness ; we allude to the lines entitled , 'The Poet ' s SouTenire , ' ' The Interview , ' ' The Parting Tear , ' and 'The Oirge of Anna * We select for extract the following tribute to Pope Pius , wbioh has not before been published in this or any other journal : —
THE SILENT LYRE . What ! art thou silent still , my l yre 1 Will not thy soul one hymn afford ! Where now is all thy wonted fira ! Is there not left a single chord ? Come waks—my spirit still is free , To bail the birth of Liberty . A spotless virgin , without home , An exile , wandering o ' er the earth , Has soaght the hills of mighty Borne , To save the world by Freedom ' sbirth . Lay down , proud man , your diadem , For Rome to-day is Bethlehem . Ceme , scatter ed nations , from afar . The li gbU of truth aroosd yoa shine , Behold the bright , mysterious Star That guides you to Etligion ' s shrine . There , irostrate at her feet , you' ll see The gorgeous wreck of tyranny . With what contempt sfce trample * dawn The despot ' s sceptre and his rod , And asks him , ean an earthly crown Convert an Insect to a God ! ¦ Wfeat are you , tyrants , why you dsra Profane the brittle swords yon wear ! Who placed you on the royal throne , Has called you from your mother ' s womb , As Samuel to be his own , And not to make of earth a tomb . He broke the sword of guilty Saul , And now prepares , in turn , jour fall . While mirth had crewn'd , with rosy wise The festive board of Babylon , A . band , that writes ? onryoor decline . Had weighed the nonarch and hU thiont . The seales of God , proud man , are just , Your empires weigh a little dust . If you be called by so < ne uivine , Althossh bnt men of impure clay . The rays of pomp that round you shine , Shall with your empires pass away . Tair Carthage was the ocean ' s queen Bat what remains where she had been i When Sidoa swept with fleets the sea , And Tyre set oa her rocky brow , 'Tnas glorious then their wealth to see ; But where are Tyre aud Sidoa new ! Of them no vest ' ge can be found , Their verj names are but a soasd ! From vamsh'd cities turn your eyes . To see whole empires pass away—Will not experience make you wise , You little insects of a da ; ? Host long trill mankind leara lt > bear The hear tless tools they should not spare ? If nations sink into the tomb , And iBOBarchs from their thrones are aurl'd Can you expect a different doom , Proud despots of the western world I Jfo , no , your fell is heaven ' s decree , Your crimes have seal'd your destiny . When Gaul had stamp'd , earth felt the shock ! She thought her Sun would never set ; Ambition chain'd him to a rock , To teach a lesson yon forget . You saw her last three monarch * pass , And heard them sigh , alas ! alas ; . Go , worthless race , yourhearte are stones , My Gad had made all mankind free , Bat you on altars hcap'd up thrones , To deify man ' s slavery . Xo no , Religion shall not bind Sew fetters , nor enslave mankind . How dare you thus the Church profane % My wedded spouse yon did reprove ; And you have forged for man a cha ' n Instead of teaching him to love . Go , Achabs of our northern climes , Your histories are told by crimes .

THE LABOURER , A Monthl y Magazine 0 / Polf . ties . Literature , Poetry , « te . Edited by Feargu « O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., andErnest Jones , fcsq . Lon don , Northern Star Office , 16 , Great Wkdaullstreet , Uaymarket . This is a very interesting number of the Labou rer . The continaation ot' The Insurrection of the Working Classes' presentaa graphic picture of that wonderful romance of history , the revolt of Rienzi , the last of the Romans . * The Romance of a People' powerful ) v describes the sufferings of the Poles and the infernal cruelties of their persecutors . There are nsefu ! legal articles on 'The Poor Laws and the Land Company ; * and an article embracing large views , and breathing fervent aspirations for the bettor iuture which we take the liberty to quote , entitled— '
sice vertm hatiok , A change is rapidly approaching over continental Europe ; not a mere governmental , but an elementary ch » ng 9 . In the early ages , tho MTage spirit of conquest impelled race against race ; the confines ef either were alternately broken down , and an amalgamation ef discordant masses was t&B result . In the middle-agen , individual arabiti n , seconded by the progress in the art of war . broke these empires of races into nations , and the conflict of nations perpetuated and increased tha confosicn of races . Thus , most of thekingdams of Europe are put together of incongruous exed bfaw 5
V l ° ? * <»> . held by force , and perpetuated by diplomacy . Centuries have in some instances elapsed since these forcible annexations ;_ one would have expected them to have given the stamp of perpetual nationalities t » their various coHStructions ; they have broughtaati 0 nala 3 Socm « on » , n » iioualhistOrieB . nationaI traditions , and nationsl monuments ; they have created and fostered national prejudices and animosities ; and , despite all , the old sympathies of bacb appear and ap ! pear again , even under cirenmstaaees and in places where least to be expected . We purpose illustrating this hereafter . At present , we will look into the causes of tins apparent anomaly .
A distinguishing type has been preserved by the ha . ua of nature , The . Scandinavian , the Sdavonio . the Tea ton , the Italian , the Frank , ana the Celtic , races , differ from eaeh other in their physical appearance , and their mental constitution . Of course , by the word raee' we are not alluding to those broader distinctions , typifle d b » the Caucasian , the African , the Malayan , etc . —bnt to those minor differences which have stamped an individual characteristic en different members of the Enropean family . It is in this sense in which we have ventured to speak of « n 'Italian race ; * —for , in the amalgam of whieh the I talians consist , we find , although broken into several nationalities , one pervading and distinctive mental and physical characteristic . This in them , as in ethers , has manifested itself ia sMlal customs , language and literature ; and it is to these causes that the wonderful sympathy of ¦ race ' still existent afterthe lapse of so many ages in the brea * BtSOf otherwise conaictiny nations , U to be attributed .
To this active cause , the remodelling of the European system will be indebted for its origin . It is one great lever in the hands of modern democracy . It is one great aid to the realisation of that noble principle 'all men are brethren . The splits in the humsn family induced by the ambition of kings and conquerers , are about to be partially healed by the extension of the feeling of fra . ternity from the narrow limits of a kingdom to the boundary of a race . Verily , kingdoms are changing into kingdoms . Thu » we find the Italians struggling , not for the independence of Naples from Rome , or Rome from Austria , but for that of Italy from the German . ' All Italians are brethren !'
Thus we find even the most discordant national animosities smothered , and the Russian and the Pole strnggling for one Sclavonic republic ! Thus the conspiracy of Pestel , Bustazeff , and Ryleyeff was intended to amal gamate both nations under one fre « government—and thus Nicholas endeavours to use this very circumstance for tyrannical purposes , in trying , and with somo effect , to impress the Poles with the belief , that his mission is to gather all the scattered wrecks of the Sclavonic race into one peat union . The latter part of his object will be realised by the people , but the tyranny will be frustrated , for here , too , it is democracy thatTaises the cry : ' AH Slavonians are brethren I *
Thus we find that Sweden , Norway , Denmark and Finland , * are drawing nearer to each other . Here , ton , the national animosities engendered by lungs ate being rapidly forgotten . The ' crowns , ' not the people , of Denmark , Sweden and Norway fought with hostile interests . Norway and Sweden are united ; and when the present king of Denmark dies , a union between the Danes and Sredea is more than probable . The people on either side the water desire it , and the weak barrier of a debauched and imbecile prince will hardly be insurmountable . The Finns , too , are looking back with affection to the time of their union with Swedea ; and looking forward with impatience to the re . newal of that union . There , too , in those northern lands , the cry is being raised : 'Alt' Scandinavians are brethren !'
Thus we find that Germany is endeavouring to reconstruct her lopped members into one great body . In Germany , as well , feelings of national hostility are being smothered . Long wars and rivalries taught tie Prussians and the Austrians to hate each other ; and kinglj ambition made Prussia disliked by the minor states Now . mark the change ! Now , what is the cry • One father-land ! Oho Germany ! ' « A 11 Germans are brethren !' Even in our own country , the same spirit of ' race' is apparent . It is a striking feature of the times , that the Celt' is speaking of the Saxon' as a foreigner , and that the Saxon , after the lapse of eight hundred years , speaks of the domiciled 'Norman' as an invader , and points to the scions of our aristocracy , descended frem a Norman stock , as conquerors and aliens in the land ! The distinctive features of race aad . their requirements are becomine daily more apparent .
Scotland , indeed , po 3 iessesfaer Scottish kirk and Scottish law ; but in Ireland the cry is raised of ' Ireland for the Irish . ' It is a cry of ' race , ' under the guise of a shout of nationality . Yet the link of friendship is not wanting between the sister countries , and through » his little island-world of ours , this cry , as welL is raised : ' Saxon and Celt are brethren ! ' ' ¦ * This is an approximation to that greater principle ol ' Au Mix abe Bbetbber . ' A principle propounded by the society of Fraternal Demscrats in England , and echoed—loudly echoed—on the Continent . Cut wt must walk before we can run . Much will be achieved if each distinctive ri . ee can be gathered into a separate family bond—it will pave the way for general fraternity since democracy is at work throughout the world . A
glance at the state of Europe wilr ^ how that the pr « sentg ystem cannot hst ; that the ' present thrones wlil cramble , and the present limit * of kingdom * shrink or spread . Then , out of the deluge o £ convulsive change tbat will , ere long , agitate the Continent , we shall see it emerge under a new aspect . The present national boundaries will be swept away , and the deainions ol races will be established in the Scandinavian . Sclavonic . Italian and Germanic unions . Nor , thanks to the spirit 6 Hreeaom , will these be moulded under the grasp of monarchs ; but , as the storm will he raised by demo cracy againstdespotism , so shall we trace the victory of the latter the establishment
by of federal republics Those national feelings , which in some countries might yet militate against this great result ( and we ore ' anare that the Pole and the Dane yet ding fondl y to a restrictive nationality , } may be spared and harmonised by these still retaining a separate individuality , a separate government , and yet forming a part of each great union of race , by joining each other in a federate system of republics . Thus , Poland may obtain aa indepen . dent government , yet form one of the Sclavonic confederation . Thus , Ireland seeks a R ° peal of the Union , and would yet remain the confederate all y of England . These are the results to which the approaching crisis * The Finns , may , i ndeed , trace a difference of race from the Siredes—but the difference is still greater be . tween them and the Russians ; therefore , an alliance with the Swedes would be an approximation on thile part to the priiciple of thagovewiguty of races ;

The Midland Florist . Conducted by J , F , Woods , Novembsr . London : Simpkinand Marshall . Nottingham : R . Sutton . From this very useful public instructor' we give the following extract : — CALENDAR OF OPERAtlOSS FOR KOVEMBttR . This month is always a busy one ; for if mild and open , every description of planting may now ba done , as well as all sorts of groundwork . la the fruit garden , root pruning should be performed ; to trees against walls and palings , which have for years boon In a most luxurisHt state , producing large quantities of shoots and leaves , with very little or no fruit , this plan will be found peculiarl y adapted . TTe have this season sson pear trees which had been root-pruned with sUms not
, thicker than the shaft of a small hay fork , and standing about us high out of the ground , dothna with fruit from top to bottom . For the thousanga of gardens round Nottingham ana other large towns , pyramidal trees are nppropnate ; they give the proprietor a much better opportunity of cultivating his plot of land , as well as en . surmg finer fruit , and being more manageable . Goo « - berries and currants may be planted ; and wo would advise all who are fond ol fine fruit aud large produee in a small space , to adopt Mr Hall ' s plan of growing them > . s pjramids . Somepeopleare grewlng them as standards , but as the space between th-head and tho ground is bare of frult , and consequently pr » fitl 8 B » , we prefer the system of having the st « m clothed with fruit from the bottom .
Training plums , pears , &e ., may be pr » ceeded with at every favourable opportunity , In cutting away the shoots , do not cut for the sake of cutting ; for the removal of any or every branch there ought to be a reason Vinos , out of doors , havn been extremely prolific this season . In nine cases out of ten , they bare been allowed to retain double the quantity of fruit they ought to have carried ; independent of whieh , there has been Injudicious stripping the trees of tholr leaves , in order to let the sun get to the fruit ; the consequence will prove that the trees have been seriously injured . After the fruit is gathered , ft ? eurfaoe of the ground Bhould ba covered with Rood manure , that the autumnal rains may wash it in . Vines are greedy feeders , and will r « pay all the help given to thera .
Transplant roses , evergreens as well asdeclduouB shrubs . All sorts of fruit trees will do well now . In removing them , take care that as much as possible ef the fibrous root is retained , \ fhen the main roots have been mangled withthe spade , 1 st the brulsedpartg be cleanly cut off with a sharp knife , previous to planting . Raspberries , of which the Faatolff . is one of the best should now be attended to . Fork over the ground ( de not dig it ) , cleaning it well from root weeds , removing all unnecessary canes , and cutting out the dead wood which produced fruit last season ; three strong canes maybe preserved , and tied to a stake , or tha topsof neignbouringpikntsmay be brought together and tied In the form of an arch , by which Jmeans stakes are not required ; it should , however , be recollected , that these should be trained east and west , if possible the fruit then gets the advantage- of the * un on both sides .
It must also be botne in mind that all vacant ground should immediatel y be manured and in winter dug or thrown up in rid ges ; it would then be reaily for croppinir at any moment . Cabbagee may yet he planted , thodRh they would hav » been better planted earlier . Stone ' s Superb , or tho Improved Sprotborough , is a fina flavoured and early sort , well worth y of extensive cultivation . If carrots and parsnips are not already out of tht ground and stored , it should be done immediately , choosing a dry dav for the operation ; where extensively gtown the roots are pitted , but for small families ; if placed amidst dry sand , in a cellar , they will keep well . Potatoes should be occasionally examined , where practicable ; when laid in large hespg , if at all tainted with toe Disease , the sweating or heating of bo large a quantity together , increases the mischief .
All refuse , in the garden , such as decaying leaveB . &c „ should be got together , and placed In a heap . If the space Mnnot be afforded , or accumulations of this kind are offennive to the eye , burn them , » and spread the ashes .

THE CRAYFORD BLOCK-PRINTERS' CASE . TO TnK BDITOR OP THR NORIHEBK 8 TAB . Committee Room , Bell Inn , Cray ford , Kent . and Bell , Old Bailey , London , Nov , 2 nd , 1847 3 iB ,- ~ Your paper being the acknowledged organ of the working millions , we beg to lay before them , through your columns , our quarter ' s balance sheet for the thirteen weeks we have been on strike , ending Ootober 80 th ; also onr present position . In your columns of the 2 nd of October , by leaving out the heading of our appeal to the public , it mad « it appear we had been on strike but fiveimks , whereas we had been eight weeks at that lime . There was a so one paragraph you entirely omitted , namely : onr being members of the National Asuociation ft r
tbo Proioctien of Industry . Now that is a fact we caunot think of keeping in . the dark after the manner in which the Central Committee of that Asso * ciatisn treated our case ; viz ., bypassing a kic . d of double voU , that we had acted contrary to their adviee , and that it was an out-work question . Such having been the way in which the Central Committee have laid our case before the tradeB , we feel it our duty to briHg the whole matter before the bar ofpubho opinion . On the 19 th of June , one of our shops , ( N » . 1 , ) at that timo being inprentdiaturbance through a very serious reduction of ( k 8 d in the pound being offered by their employer upon all . fanoy work , which reduction we were resisting by every meanB in our power . ) Mr Evans , another of our employers ( No . 2 ) gave orders to the effect , that his gates would be closed for a fewdavs while
they took stock ; some of the men at the timo having work they had begun , ( and had been paid for ) but not finished . Others haying work out , were told to get it readv , but Bet to begin it , as the gates would be closed / or a few days . Instead efwhich , one , two , thrce . and four weeks passed and no gate * were opened , but reports enme to hand that the sates l i ., K uVJ ? , ed t'Jl w . e had settled with No . l . ana submitted to the reduction . Such beinp the case , ft * nff ± ^ M Central Committee , we settled the affair wi h No . 1 . and submit ed , ( after ^ pending nearly £ 700 , flat bttog at Ztime 0 U 0 Z funds , ) to a reduction of Ss . 4 d . in the pound . No sooner was this done , than reports were received that the gates of No . 2 weie to ba opened , and a great reduction offered . Such reports were immediately followed by the manager leaving the works , and a new manager being appointed , which occupied two _ weeks more . On the 3 rd of August , the shop
olarlc was applied to by the master , to send half a dozen men to wait upon the master and manager at the works , as the representatives of the shop . The men bjing sent , were introduced to the new manager , a Mr Collins , late of the firm' of Messrs Whiteman and Co . of Phips Bridge , in the parish of Mitcham , Surrey , when they were told the gates had been shut longer than they expected , but they would now go on with greater spirit—that he had got a new manager , and that much greater facilities for dging their werk should be given them , but for the future that was the list ( presenting tbe men with one ) he should pay from . The men remonstrated , bnt he said , that was the price he should pay , or have a free shop , viz . a knobstick shop . The men then said they must have time to lock before
they couldiake such a list . He gave them until the nrxt night , and that , as he was going to France , he should leave it to h s manager to carry out , The Central Committee wa 3 immediately sent , to , when one of their members attended , but not before the next night , the time the answer was to have been given , and too lato to Bee the master . He , the member of tbe Central Committee , told us , he did not know how to advise us ; 'twas a serious reduction ! tiz , 5 s . fid . in the pound , but still we must endeavour to meet the master , and not if we could help it , ' loose' the shop . Again , and again , and again , was the manager applied to , to get him to alter his position , bnt in vain . Again was the Central Committee consulted , applied to , and again wsb one of their members down at Crayford . He ad- I , . I I , . ,
vised us to pet our trade to meet the master in S 9 me way . The trade was consulted again , and owing to the advice and opinion expressed by the Central Committee , we offered an intermediate list of prices to the master , viz , a reduction of 2 j . 8 d . in the pound , which the manager said waB a mere flea bite , and would give the firm no relief whatever ; he must have the whole list the master gnve them or else he must get other men , as the master would soon be hemc , and be displeased at his keeping the works still , and he was determined to carry hia point , and would therefore make it a free Bbop . He accordingly wrote to many places for hands , but could not get any printers ; 'tis true he got some men and a few boys that had worked about the premises before , thinking to mako printers of them . , \ \ J ' , ' '
Ob the next day Mr Evans returned from France , we sent two delegates to wait upon the Central Committee , and one of their members went with the deputation to Mr Evans in London , but he would only see his own men , and after a little conversation with them , he agreed to meet a deputation at the factory in the evening , at half-past seven o ' clock . On the same day the manager went to Waltham Abtey , to endeavour to get some bands , ( to the nurcher of sixteen ) from a free shop that had given up business . We sent two delegates after him to watch the proceedings . He got none from there at that time , though they were knobsticks . In the evening a deputation waited upon Mr E . ac cording to appointment . He said his manager had gone out upon business , but not having returned we ¦
muit defer our conference till Monday morning , at seven o ' clock . At the timo appointed we met Mr Evans and Mr Collins . Mr E . said he had been talking to Mr C , and that he could not meet ua in any way beside * the one he had offered , viz . the list propeaed . The manager , Mr C , said , ' No , Sir , you cannot one halfpenny . ' and turning to ' the men , he said , 'You cannot resist it , you have nofur . ds , and no friends ; why , you must be starved unless you submit ; therefore , ' f tid he , turning to the master , 4 we must break their Unien . Yes sir , and as you have placed this in my bands , I will give the men this day to make up their minda and come to their work at the price you have offered ; but , if they do not , I will not , as I live , shop one of them , unless he not only woik for this price , but shall also pkd ° e
himself to belong to no trade society or union whatever . ' The master and manager then left the deputation , stating that , henceforth , conferences viere at an end . Again was the Central Committee sent to ; again was one of their members down at Crayford , and after the whole case was laid before him , he said , he did not know what to advise , he could not say go to work at such a great reduction , together with the breaking up of the society , and against the decision of tho whole trade ; neither could he say , stop out , inasmuch , as they , the Central Committee , were unable to render support , that tho number of hands that wero then out on strike took every farthing of tho money that was collected ; and to put on an extra levy would be to cut the thread of the association ; but this they could do , they could
recommend the case to the trades in genera ! , and solicit their Bupporr , and that the Central Committee could also use the Dower they had , to postpone the payment of our levies , which he believed they would do , and everything else they could to support and assist us . Now , after being fully aware of all this ; after it waB well known that the late manager left , because he would not dirt his hands in such business ; after all these thing ? , we aek , how can the Central Committee say , that we have acted contrary to their advice ? Do they mean to tell ug , or the trades in general , that they advised ua to accept our masters' terms , viz . 1 reduction of 5 s . 5 d . in the pound , together with the breaking up of our union ; if so , we ask , if such arc to be the benefits of 'Union for the Millian ?

The spinners appointed a deputation to wait upon the mayor , Joseph Fletcher , E ; q ( with a requisition I ' rom the inhabitant householders , on Saturday , praying him to convene a meeting in the Town Hall , for the purpose of taking into consideration the hrst means to be adopted under the present unfortunate differences which exist between the employers and the employed .

SHAMEFUL CASE OF GITRESSION . T » TQE EDITOR OF THB NOBTIUEN STAB . Sib , I wish , through the medium of jor . r raluabk paper , to inform its numerous readers of a piece of ijrots injustice exercised towards a number of ' operative stonemasons , ' by Messrs Thompaor- and L . 'gnn , railway contractors , who sent ona of their agents to Lirtrpool in August last , for the purpose of engaging a number of masons to go to Leeds , there to assist in the erection ol a number of stone bridges . The demand for labour in Liverpool was , nt that time , very great , and it was with comiderable difficulty that tho agent , Mr Armstrong , could prevail upon any masons to accompany him . However , such were the inducements which he held out , that
a number of men at length consented to tbe following verbal agreement , viz —that they should have full emplojment until May next , at the rate of 5 t 4 dper day . Accordingly , the mm engaged , luit their employment in Liverpool , nhere they uero rereiving 5 s per day , and proceeded witb him to Lseiis , whore they immediately commenced working at the term * ulready . specified . After wot king a fVtv iwKj , thij received notice that is was no longer tho intention of Metsrs Thompson nnd L 9 gan , to pay them according to the agreement , and that , if they continued w . rWin " , it must be at art Auction in their wage » ot Ss j-er wevk . To this unreasoaable proposition the mea refused compliance , nnd tV . o consequence was that they were thrown out of cmp !* y . raetit . However , legal proceedings have been onteud
into against Messrs Thompson and Lngan . lb ,, w it will terminate I am not prepared to say ; but I hope the trades of Leeds will not allow those poor men , their wive 3 , and tamilies , to be snerifictd at the bhtlae of ' capital , 'but will endeavour , by every legitimate means in their power , to baffle the » variciom attonpts » f those who woald trample upon industry . This is a case that deseru-stbe cosdial support of every truo philanthropist : lor , wbi-n , we contemplate tbe unprinciph d conduct of tbosu employers in seducing men from their homes by holJing oat lr-ght prospects , and making tair promises , Bad thea troaung them ns already stand , it caunot fail to , elicit the just indignation e $ every honest mind . By inserting this in tho poor man !* only paptr , the Aort& « if » & iar , jou will much oblige , YourB , Miciu" Foresteb .

flbioiu ' * Journal . Part X . London : W . Lovett , 171 , Strand . The contents of this part , generally , are pleasing and instructive . The articles by Dr Carpenter , on Popular vPhysiolosy ; : by Frederic Rowton , on Death Punishments : ' by the Rer ; H . Davis , on ' Madrid and its Inhabitants ; ' and by William Ilowitt , on 'Tfie Resources and Reform of our Indian Empire , " are entitled to our warm approval . From one of the articles , on India , we give the following extracts
INDIA . It it well known that it is monopoly ftat ' crashes the life oat of India , and renders it useless to England . It is this which sends us te the Americans for our cotton , and ' enables thea to Manufacture with our gold , and compete with ns in all tbe markets of the world . Salt , opium , and the land , are all monopolised by the Anglo . Indian government , and the natives are ground under these to such a eoaditita of poverty that they cannot purchase ourmanufactnrcs . They cannot even live , bnt perish periodically of terrible famines . Englishmen of capital dare not venture to settle in that fina eountry , and raise cotton , sugar , and numberless articles for onr market , because they have no security . Thegoyernwnt , which claims to be proprietors of the soil , sends
out its colleotors , levies any amount of tax , or rather rant , that it pleases ; and we let this go on from year to year , while we are suffering the intensest distress at home for the want of the raw material far our mannfactarM , which India could seai us in any quantity , and at the lowest price . Our manufacturers pay to America six millions a-year more for the cotton obtained there , than they would pay for it to our . own subjects in India , who would take our manufactured articles in return . But the whole question presents the grossest instance of national infatnatlon imaginable . Providence has pit Into our hands a great and magnificent terri . tory , capable ef enriching us as a trading and manufacturing people beyond conception ; and we suffer this country with its hundred millions of customers , to be
sacrificed to the aristocracy and to a company of merchants in loadeahall-street . Why do these merchants play into the hands ef the aristocracy ! Because on them they depend for the renewal of their Charter . Why do the aristocracy renew their Charter ! Because they want India as a great war field , ' where their sons can get promotion , and load themselves with the spoils of unhappy nations . And for this all tbe trading advantages of India and China to boot are sacrificed , and our rivals the Americans are enriched , and made more effective competitors . We observe in the Record of Popular Proeress . '
a report of tha proceedings of the late Free Tr&de Congress at Brussels , containing abstracts of Mr Weerth ' s celebrated speech , and Dr Bowring ' s insolent reply . Strange to say , this Congress is lauded by the Editor of IlowiU ? s Journal , as ' a most important movement , '' a noble beginning , ' ' opening up most important prospects , to none more than to the working classes , ' &c , &c . Notice of Mr Weertli ' a speech is carefully eschewed by the Editor , who will not ^ earn ihetbaukaof the workins classes , by trumpeting Bawring ' s sophieras and delusions . If the Editor doubts our word he had better appeal to the working men of Bolton .

The Family Herald . Part 54 . London : G . Biggs , 421 , Strand : This part is , we think , even more rich than usual in fireside stories , and thatchoicely-selected miscellaneous matter for which this periodical is so celebrated . The readers for amusement will find abundance to gratify their taste , and the readers for instruction will not be sent empty away . From certain editorial speculations or the reforming Pope , we give the following extracts :
POPE PID 8 . The present Pope is a bold man . He is rousing a people from a state of dormancy . The question follows , can the Pope lead the people ? He leads them at pre-Bent because they have not as yet gained their end ; but ones a system of popular government is established in Italy , once the voice of the people i » recognised as a legitimate branch of legislative authority , will it be possible for a priest of the middle ages to reign in Rome ! Romeeccbslastlcallsessentially unchangeable , monarchist , a » d arbitrary . Popular governments ar * essentiall y changeable and anti-monarcbial . It is dim " , cult to imagine how a political system of progress is compstihie with an ecclesiastical system of conservatism . It is not compatible , and in no country in the world have they ever been known to co-exist in a state of harmony . One must sub Juo the other .
¦ The Pope is contending with Austria , and his peeple at peace with himself . Be is organising a papular power on purposa te expel a forei gn power . ' When the foreign power is expelled what will the popular party then have to do ! to what will it then turn , its serious thoug hts f

Tatt sEdinburgh Magazine . Kovembsr . Edinburgh : Sutherland and Knox . London : Simpkia and Marshall . r The continuation of Mr St John ' s tale of the French Revolution , ' Miranda / is the most readable of the contents of this month ' s number . There are articles on The Crisis and the Currency , ' and 'Thomas Macaohy ; and ; the opium eater , De Quincy , gives one of his usual soporiferous hash ups— 'Protestantism , being his victim on thh occasion . We can find nothing quotable but an extract from a review of Fresootfs * History of the Conquest ef Peru . '
rEKCVUN AGBABUPISK , The lands assigned to the Suu furnished a revtnne to support tht templeB and maintain the costly ceremony of tho Peruvian worship and the multitudinous priesthood . Those reserved fer the Inca went to support the royal state , as well as the numerous members of his household and his kindred , and supplied the various exigencies of government . The remainder of the lands was divided , per capita , ia equal shares among the people . It waiprorided by law , as we shall gee hereafter , that every Peruvian should marry at a certain ag ' . When this event took place , the community or
district in which he lived furnished him with a dwelling , which , as it was constructed of humbla mtrtcrlnl& , wat dene at little eost . A lot of land was then assigned to him . sufficient for bis own maintenance and that of his wife . An additional portion was granted for every cHU—the amount allowed for a sou being the double of that for a daughter . Tha division of the soil was renewed every year , ana the possessions of tho tenant were in . creased or diminished according to the numbers In his family . The same arrongemeat was observed with refcreneo to the Curacas , excepting only that a domain was assigned to them corresponding with the superior dignity of their stations .
A more thorough and effectual agragrian law than this cannot be Imagined . In other countries where gueh a law has been Introduced , its operation , after a time , has given way to the natural oraerof events , ana nnier the superior intelligence and thrift of some , and the prodigality of others , the usual vicissitudes of fortune have hsen allowed to take their course , and restore things to their natural inequality . Even the iron law of Lycnrgni ceased to operate after a time , and mriua away before the spirit of Inxnry and avarice . The nearest approach to the Peruvian constitution was probably in Judea , where , on the recurrence of tbe great national jubilee , * at the close of every half century estates reverted to their original proprietew . Theri was this important difference la Peruthat not only did
, the lea « 6 , If we may so call it , terminate with the year outdaring that period the tenant had no power to all ! tnate or to add to his possessions . The end at the brief term found him in precisely tha same condition aa fc » i » a » at the beginning . Such a state of things might be supposed to be fatal to anything like attashment to the soil , or to that desire of improving it which is na ' . ural to tbe permanent proprietor , and hardly less so to the holder ofm long lease . But the praetical operation of the law seems to have been otherwise ; and it is probabl « thatnndtr the influence of that lovo of order aud aversion to chaDge which asrkad the Peruvian iustitn . tions , each new partitien of tbe soil usually confirmed the occupant in his possession , and the tenant for a year was converted into proprietor for life
Ths territtry was cultivated wholly by the p : ople The lands belonging to the Sun were first attended to ' They next tilled the land , of the old , of the sick , of the widow * , and th « orphan , and of soldim engaged in ac tual service—in short , of all that part of the community who , from bodily infirmity , or any other cause , were nnable to attend to their own concern * . '
NBITBEB BICH NOB roOB . If no man eould become rick in Pern , no man could become p oor . No spendthrift ceula" waste his substance in riotOHS luxury . No adventurous schemer could impoverish his family by the spirit of speculation . The hw was constantly directed to enforce a stead y industry aad a sober management of his affirin . No mendicant was tolerated in Pern . When a man was reduced by poverty or misfortune—it could not be b y fault—tho arm of the law was stretched out to minister relief ; not the stinted relief of private charity , nor that which is doled eat , drop by drop , as it were , from the froK ; n reservoirs of the parish , bnt In gensrous measure , bringing no humiliation to the object of it , and placing him on a level with the rest of his eountrymen .
No man could be riob , no man could be poor in Peru hut all might enjoy , and did er > joy a competence . Ambition , avarice , the love of change , the morbid spirit of discontent , those passion * which most agitate the minds of men , found na place in the bosom of the Peruvian . The Spaniards who first visited the country sre em . phatie in their testimony , that no government could have been better suited to the genius of the people ; and no people conld have appeared more contented with their lot , or more devoted to their government .

At least 200 , 000 European emigrants will have reached the United States direct this year , independent of the thousands who have landed in Canada . Partaking of the general prosperity of Glasgow , the Clyde ferries have been let for the current year for £ 1 , 605 , being an increase on the previous year of £ 445 . ¦ It has been stated , that 107 parts of wheat , HI of rye , 117 of oat » , 130 of barley , 138 of Indian corn , 177 of rice , 895 of potatoes , 1 , 385 of turnips , are equal in nutritive power . A Guernsey paper states that twenty-nine out of thirty-six guns , thrown over board from the Phoebe frigate , off that coast , upwards of forty years ago , have recently been recovered . An Atrocious Crime was committed in the
railway station at Dresden , on the 30 th ult . At about ten o ' clock in the morning , a well-dressed young man entered , and walked about for some time in an agitated state , smoking a cigar . All at once he rushed towards ' a young female who was afcout to enter a carriage , and drawing a pistol from his pocket discharged it at her . The ball entered her heart , and she died immediately . The murderer then drew another pistol from his pocket , attd placed the barrel of it , in his mouth , but just as he was about to pull the trigger , his arm was seized by a bystander , and the ball lodged in the ceiling . The murderer was immediately arrested and placed in gaol . He is the travelling clerk for a manufactory of arms at Lieee . The young female belonged to a respectable family at Berlin , and had been carried off by the murderer . Her father and mother having follawed and overtaken her , insisted that she should return home , and sKe was about to set out with them on her return when the murder was committed .
National Lasb Company . —The purchases of this company have hitherto been made in the name of Mr Feargus O'Connor , the originator and chief manager . Tho reason of this has been , that as tbe company was not registered , legal difficulties prevented the land from being bought , escept in the name ef some individuals . Arrangements , however , are now in progress for the registration of the company , and Mr O'Connor will bring a bill before parliament for that purpose as early as possible in the session . The deed of registration is already drawn up , and is being taken to all the large towns in the
kingdom , so that it may be signed by all or most of the parties who are interested in it . It is supposed that the wMe nurabtr of signatures , from parties all of whom have vested greater or leas sums , of money , will not be less than 9 . 000 . . Messrs Clark and Dixon , of the National Land Company , brought the registration deed to Sheffield en Tuesday weelc , when out ' of the 400 or 500 in this town who are concerned in it , about 150 affixed their names , and many others would have done so had tha time allowed been a little longer . It was taken from Sheffield to WakV field oa Wednesday mwning .-SiWMJ IW
