      fo we fin < H Why , that they have the appointment of their own minions and hirelings , as fudge s of their own acts , and as defenders of their own perfidy . If a Select Committee is to be appointed to inquire into the acts of the Government , or into the acts of men hostile to the Government , a Government official , a Government tool , a Government prostitute , is appointed upon that Committee , in the hope that he will be elected as its Chairman , and , in his situation of Chairman , he has a controlling power over the Committee .

      Hence , we find the delegation of this hired authority to officials , is a mesk to hide the perfidy of the Government , while , in most instances , weak-minded and nervous individuals bow obsequiously to this authority , and surrender the independent spirit of the man to the subserviency of the hired prostitute , who , surrendering all feelings of honour , and pride , of consistency , and truth , volunteers the performance of t ' he odious duty imposed upon

      him . And thus , with the machinery which treachery , dishonour , and spyism , place at his command , he enters upon the degrading service as a volunteer , ; who has surrendered all the best feelings of nature to the base purposes of faction ; and he must he an honest man , a consistent man , a bold man , and a man of aerve , who can stand up and defend himself sgaiast such appliances ; while , if possessed of those attributes . he will assuredly tr iumph over the machination of his enemies , and the hired

      subordinates . We shall one day draw a picture , and a vivid and true one , of those cases of which we now give the mere outline , and then the reader wilj learn the snares with which their path , and the path of their friends is beset , and he will be able to discover the material difference between a male and a female PROSTITUTE .

      ENGLISH LAW IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY .

      The sentences passed on the so-called Chartist rioters , during the last Sessiens at the Ceatral Criminal Court , seem not to have attracted the attention they deserve , as witness the following cases : — A master cabinetmaker was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour in the House of Correction ^ for merely raising his umbrella and crying , " Oh ! the thieves . '" when he saw the police murdering the defenceless people . A pawnbroker ' s assistant , a well-educated and most respectable lad , was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour , besides having been infamously treated by the police , he having been only a casual passer-by at the time .

      Another lad was sentenced to twelve months ' hard labour , being merely charged with having his hand , raised in the air , without anything in it ! These are mere examples of the sentences in general . Be it remembered , also , that the Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy . This was the mercy of the Judge . Contrast it with the following sentence pronounced by the same Judge : — A young thief , found guilty of passing counterfeit money , was sentenced to sis months ' imprisonment .

      Truly in the eyes of the law , a working man had better be a thief than a politician . Robbers have a fellow-feeling , even if they are in different branches oftheprqfession .

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW

      The only notable Parliamentary topic this ¦ w eek , is a dispute , arising out of the Sugar Question , affecting the character of the Colonial Office , and by implication , of the Ministry generally . Lord G . Bentinck , in the course of his speech on the West Indian Question , on Friday , the 23 rd ult ., repeated more elaborately a charge which he had previously preferred—namely , that most important despatches had been withheld from the Committee of which he was Chairman , and which was appointed to examine and report on the state of the Colonies , and the requisite remedies . In the first instance , one despatch only was mentioned as having been

      suppressedthat of Sir Charles Grey , the Governor of Jamaica . But Lord George , in repeating the charge , entered into an elaborate narrative of facts , to prove that , besides that document , several other despatches from the Governors of other Colonies , had also been kept back . All these despatches were favourable to the views of the Protectionist Members of the Com mittee , and recommended a differential duty of one psnny or twopence a pound , as a protection ( against competition with slave-grown sugar . The Committee was very nicely balanced on the subject , and the real gist of the charge is , that the Government suppressed all the evidence ( as far as the despatches received from the Governors of Colonies could throw

      light upon the question ) , in favour of the colonists , while , at the same time , they hurried before the Committee documents sent by Inferior Colonial officers , which were favourable to the Free Trade view . Mr Hawes , the Under Secretary for the Colonies , who was examined by the Cominiitee about the time that Governor Grey ' s despatch arrived , affected to misunderstand the questions put to him , and , notwithstanding all the tact of Mr Goulburn , could not be brought to admit that such a despatch had tbeen received . This was somewhat singular , because ,

      by his own admission , the document was minuted by all through whose hands it passed , as being most important , and one . that required to he immediately laid before the Committee . He himself minuted it to that effect , as did Lord Grey , the head of the office . Yet , notwithstanding this admission of its importance it never made its appearance until after the Committee had closed its proceedings , and "then had to be forced out with fithfir

      despatches by a formal motion of Lord G . Ben * tinck , and further , a full month elapsed after they were ordered by the House before thev made their appearance . Under these circumstances , there could be only one of two inferences—either that the business of the Colonial OiBce is conducted in the most slovenly , careless , and disgraceful way , or that the heads of that Office had deliberately conspired to suppress all the evidence which told against their own view ? .

      Lord John Russell affected a great deal of virtuous indignation , lost his temper , and indulged in a personal attack on Lord G . Bentinck , which shocked even his own side of the House , and was met by an almost unanimous burst of disapprobation . On Monday , the charge led to more explanations and speeches , the Ministry still trying the dodge of converting the charge into an imputation on the

      personal honour and character of the two Members of the Government implicated in the affair , but resolHtely shirking the real question at issue—the way in which the business of the Colonial Office is conducted , and the animus by which it had been actuated in the matter . It is all very well to say that there must have been a " mistake "—that there was no " intention" of keeping back these despatches , ar . c : &l- ;• - ¦ t /; ..- l .-i&me on the subordinates .

      But in the very middle of these disclaimers , Mli these boastings of his high honour and integrity , he admits having used a certain document in the House of Lords , in a way which is quite conclusive as to the political morality of the noble Lord . In the month of February , Lord Stanley brought the West Indian question before the Lords , and read documents to show that , in consequence of our Legislation , it was not possible to raise 1 , 000 ? . upon a single property in Jamaica , Trinidad , or Demerara . To this

      Earl Grey replied , as appeared conclusively . He stated , that he Lad received a document from Planters in the Western part of Jamaica , who stated , that since Emancipation they had invested not less than 142 . 000 Z . in the purchase of Plantations in the Colony . He adduced this to show what a change of system was ia progress in the Island ; and that in a few years the soil of Jamaica _ would be cultivated by Planters carrying on business for themselves , and forming resident owners or lessees of the land . It will

      be remembered , that one favourite proposition by which the Whigs and Free Traders attempt to account for the ruinous position of the Planters is , that it is mainly owing to the absentee proprietors having their estates extravagantly managed by agents . Such a statement as that of Lord Grey , seemed to back up that view , and to prove that if capitalists would only look after their own business , they would be able to compete successfully with fslave-grown Sugar . Will it be believed , however , that the documents from which Lord Grey professed to quote this

      coafirmation of his opinions , in reality contained facts directly the reverse ? The ^ Memorialists stated that they did not expect any return for the 142 , 000 / . they had invested . They calculated a gross return of 60 , 800 / . for their then crop , to be placed against a positive annual outlay of 60 , 300 / ., leaving only 500 / . to go towards the interest of the yearly expenditure , and totally precluding the recovery of a single shilling of the original capital ; aud they added , not only that they could not cultivate for another year themselves , but that unless some more effectual methods were taken of

      protecting them against slave-labour Sugar , cultivation must wholly cease in Jamaica . It will be seen , therefore , that the single fact of 142 , 000 / . having been invested since Emancipation in the island , was violently wrested from its connexion with others , and by a most dishonest distortion , made to produce an impression the very reverse of that the Memorialists intended . When charged with this distortion for such palpably dishonest purposes , Lord Grey replies , " I accepted the testimony of the memorial as to the

      factsof the case , but I did not abide by its authority . in matters of opinion . " Why , the facts as to the number of tons of sugar to be expected from a given number of acres ; the price of sugar per ton , and the sum total which the planter would receive to cover his outlay , were all as much " facts of the case , " as the single fact of 142 , 000 / . having been invested ; and nothing but an utter absence of all sense of right and wrong , could cause any man to pursue so disgraceful a course .

      We have dwelt at more length upon the subject than it deserves , if judged by its intrinsic merits ; but as a specimen of the morality of the men in office , and of the temper and spirit in which they administer the affairs of a great nation , its importance cannot be overrated . Notwithstanding the hack and hireling journals of the party abuse Lord G . Bentinck for having shown the paltry tricksters up , and affect to believe that the Ministry are entirely exculpated , there can be no doubt that the country at large will pass a just verdict upon the facts of the case .

      What with such quarrels and other obstruc tions to business , arising out of the inefficiency of our precious Ministry , business gets slowly on—they will neither do anything themselves , nor suffer others to do anything . Tuesday is now the only day open to individual members . Mr Ewart had a motion on the subject of the Equalisation of Taxation , for last Tuesday . It was an inconvenient one , and so the Ministers prevented a House from being made . Sir George Grey denied that that was the case , on Wednesday ; but those who saw Mr Tuffnell , the Treasury " whipper , " drag out of the House into the lobby , more members than would have made up the required forty , know what reliance to place upon that denial .

      In short , what with the incompetency of the Ministry to transact business , the divided state of parties in the House , and the late period of the session , we may [ expect to see it wind up with the beggarly account of measures we have already so frequently presented , as the sole results of the first session of the new Whig Parliament . It was boasted , when it was first elected , that it contained a greater numberof middle-class—and as a consequence , practical business men . than had ever sat in any previous Parliament . Great expectations were entertained frem it . We put it to the middle-classes themselves , if ever . in the history of Parliaments there was a more complete failure ? If the Ten Pound Franchise , and

      the middle-class representatives , can give usno better representation than this , every one ' must admit , that a Reform of some kind or other is exceedingly desirable . The toiliHg millions of this country are , and have for a long period been , suffering most severely from the dGpres . sion of trade , and the thousand and one burdens laid upon them by the unjust political , fiscal , and sochil arrangements . If Legislation can do nothing to relieve their sufferingsif these institutions are unsusceptible of

      improvement—let us do away with the mockery of a representative system altogether . Bat if , on the other hand , it ig believed that the wants and the intelligence of the whole people ought to be adequately represented in their own Chamber of the Legislature , and that through that medium alone can a firm foundation be laid for just and eqaitable laws , then it becomes the duty of every lover of his country to exert himself to the utmost , to procure a Radical and sweeping Reform in the system of sending representatives to that Heuse .

      GBBAT Tl'EN-OOT AT BACDP , LASCASHIBK . — Ob Thursday the 11 th of May , the bands employed at thirteen mills in tho above town , and its neighbourhood , If ft their employment , In consequence of notioes of very ( serious reductions having been given on the p 3 rt of the mill owners , and which expired on tbat day . Attempts at arbitration were set on foot , and two of tho maRis . trates , James Whitaker and Gaorge Ormond , Esquires , actuated by tho most praiseworthy and humane motives , culled & meating of fimployorg , and one of the oporatives from each mill , to meet them , with a view to brlngr about an amicable arrangement , rather then rhk the alternative of a strike . On the daj appointed the meeting was held at tbe Oeerge and Dragon Inn , Bacup ; the magistrates , together with eeren of the manufWturcrp , wero in attendance . After a lengthened

      discussion between tbo employer ! and employed , the meeting broke up , without arriving at any decision ; tbe hands , to the number of nearly two thousand , inconsequence , have , during tho last bovbd weeks , been snbslsting open charity , at the rate of one shilling per head per wtek , received from tho public , by going round the surroundini { towns and villages beggiog bread , &c . The result of this attempt on tbe part of the employers , has reduced the operatives to the lowest state of destitution ; and It msy be easily conceived that , under such circumstance , thtlr privations must bs of the most intenss character . Tl ; e hsndii ot Bacup , of late , have suffered very heavy reductions in wages , in common with other towns Id Lancashire ; Indeed a portion ef those now on stiike had but recently resumed vrorb , after having been out for some Beven or eizht months ; andothers also have

      been out about fifteen or sixteen weiks to tho present time . The reductions offered by tho manufacturers are vnrious , varying from tun to tweaty per cent . This statement is set forth to the trades generally throughout tbo kingdom , to indues them to take into their serious consideration tbe cast ) of these oppressed men , whose noble and gallant stand on this occasion , is worthy the attention of all who arc Interested in the preservation of wages . One kalfptnny per member frosa Trades Societies would placo these poor men in a position which would effectually enable them to withstand this alarming oad ut just encroachment upon their meaus of living . It is to be hoped this appeal will not be made in vaiD . Contributions will be thankfully received and duly acknowledged by Mr Nuttal " , secretary , Water . street , near the Waterloo Hotel , Eacup .

      THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . INSURRECTION IN PARIS . ME BARRICADES EKECTED-UNEXAMPLED HEROISM GF THE WORKING MEN OF PARIS-THE PEOPLE SUBDUED BT CANNO . N - FRIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER — THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSION DISSOLVED GENERAL CAVAiGNAC DECLARED DICT ATOR-PARIS IN A STATE OF SIEGE , 3 » -We warn our readers that the following accounts of the working men ' s insurrection inParis , ia lor the moat part taken from the daily journals , tha bitter enemies of workirjg men in ail countries . In the early part of last week the Committee of Workmen published a placard , which waB postfd np

      in great numbers on the walls of Paris , addressed to M . Goudchaux . After reminding him that it was by tne courage of the workmen that the revolution Of February was effected , and detailing the calumnies that had been broughfagainet the ateliers national !* , it went on to say : —• Why these clamour ? , wby tbew UDjustacouaaticns against the men of the national workshops ? 11 is « iot our wiah to be without work ; it is labour suitable to us that is wanting . ? , ' e atfc for it with . All our hearts . What support have we ever given to any of the riotous assemblages which . have lately taken place ? What arrests have been made from amongtt our body ? It has teen said that : tho workmen prufer receiving If . 25 c . per day from the national workshops to earning Of . or 8 f . per day

      irom their masters . Let those who make tbiB charge point out the houses where such employment is to be found , and the names of those workmen who have refused it . Tbeir place would bo no longer in the national workshops . But it ia not the reform of those establishments which you demand ; it is tLeic entire suppression . You wuuld doubtless prefer that the money disbursed for thttn should be handed over to the manufacturers to enable them to take up tbeir overdue bill . That is the reasoning of a banker . The national workshops , instead of being a bad inaticu * tion , would be an admirable one , and , under wise and -kilful administration , would be attended with tha beat results ; it is a good organisation tbat is alone

      wanting to it . Industry requires a nurse ; y treat whence it could always be supplied with good workmen . Citizen Goudchaux evidently wishes to stijfo socialist ideas and a spirit of association , and it is doubtless for that purpose tbat he wishes to do away with the national workshops ; but let him not hops to attain his object ; he will no more succeed in disuaiting us than in removing from our minds and oav hearts the dominant ; idea , the triumph of which is secure ! Workmen ! called to take part in the construction of the social edifice , organise , instruct , and moralise the national workshops , but do not destroy them . The Democratic RefuWio cannot wish lot tuchafatricidal act . '

      ( From the correspondent of the Times , ) Paris , FmDAT . — 'DuriEg several days , amid tha profound tranquillity that Paris appeared to erjoy . che agents of disorder cave been busy in preparing & popular movement of a very alarming character . Ie all the clubs ,, in-door and out-door , they have been stimulating : tbe people to rise and demand the liberation of M . Barf 38 . " , aDdi if it be refused to proceed to Vinegnnes , and deliver him by force . la every poo . sible case they have induced the people to sign a petition tor the release of M . Barbe 8 randasortofpledga t ¦> restore him to liberty , at t&e hazard of their l . res . One hundred and fifty thousand men are said to hava already signed this petition and this engagement , and theto men are to assemble to-day , and carry tbeir petition to the Asssmbly . They have been collecting since an early hour this morning . ' We give the following account frem the Journal dks Dibats of Fridaj : > -

      ' For some days past the government , pressed by the energetic resolutions of the Assembly , has considered it its duty to take measures for the dissolution , of the ateliers nationaux . A fresh census has beea made , and 12 , 000 men-have inscribed their name * as bfing ready to go ^ e provinces wherever their aer vices may be required . Sweb agitators went among them , and endeavoured ^ excite discontent , by telling them tbat they would be ill-treated in the provinces , and that those who had already gone had been beaten by the count ) y people . On Thursday morning a bsnd > f aboul 400 workraen ' . proceedod to the Luxembourg , and demanded an interview with tbe Executive Com * mittee . M , Marie coasented to receive a deputatisDj aud five of the number wero introduced . Tbe

      foremost of them wishing to address » V 1 . Marie , the latter refused to bear him , telling him that as ha formed part of the band which bad invaded the chamber , be could not cotaider him ns tbe organ of the workmen , and turning iothe nther / tur raid , ' You are not the slaves of that man , jau can point out your wishes as well as he can , ' M . Marie , after listening with the most patient attention to tbeir complaints , sought to dissuade them from allowing themselves to be led away by apitatara , who wished to put them into a state of rebellion against authority and society . He fully as .-ured . fchem that the gorararaent were zealously employed in considering of tha best means of improving their condition . It woald appear that the delegates had not correctly reported to their comrades the remarks of M ; Marie , for they said that be had called them slaves . The whole band

      then began to raise cries ofi' A- has Marie ! ' A baa la Commission Executive !* " 'A bas 1 'AssembleaJ ' Some of them ran tawerda tbe belfry of the Churoh of Saint Surplice , near whioh they had waitad tbe return of their delegate . , evidently with the intention of sounding the toosin , but , fortunately their intention was foreseen and the door closed .. The band then proceeded towards the Faubourgs Saint Antoine and Marceau , gradually increasing in numbers as it went . In the evening it took up its station en tbe Place de In Bastille , and the Barnere da Trone . Commissaries of police received orders to proceed to the spct to disperse them . The only cries which wera raised were ' Vive Napoleon ! ' ' Vive l'Empereuir ! ' ' A bas Marie ! ' ' Neus resterons-f The government fearing that these perturbatora sight 1 proceed to the Assembly , ordered the armed force there to be increased , aud General Negrier , ono of the q ; i 8 stors of tha Chamber , took the command of all the troops on

      duty . ' MiDNiGHT . —The manifestations made during tho day by a part of theworkmenof the-atelierspationaux caused agitation in Paris during the- evening . Tbe neighbourhood of the Hotel de Villa was crowded with people , and numerous bands were also assembled on different points of the Boulevards . "A'fc about eight o ' clock the Piace du Pantheoi wa& covtred with several thousand workmen , from wiKnce they proceeded in a column , with a flag at their head , towarda the Place de la Bastille aad the Quartier

      Saint Antoine . Every precaution was taken at the Hotal de Ville , and after the above column had paaaed through it wsa-surrounded by the armed torce . Tho National Guards were oaJled out by summons at their respective houses , but the lappel wagnot beaten ; and at ten o'clock a large force took up , their station on the Place .. At eleven o ' clock a bat- ¦ talionof theline march 3 d into the prefecture of police , and the periatyle of the Palais de Jmstice was guarded by a body of the Garde Mobi . e , an da at all the Mairies a large force wai kept in reserve . The night-passed off without any collision . '

      ' Union foiitlie M illion . ' ;__/ The Conference which has just closed its sittings at Liverpool stands prominent above all its predeces sors for its high tone of moral feeling and improved " buiness arrangements . One sentiment seemed to ner vade all hearts—not sullipd by one particle of selfishness or ill feeling—a desire to perfect the good work so well begun . There never was a meeting of work , ing raen where so much and such important business was accomplished in so short a time , and with so total an absence of those bitter and acrimonious

      feelings ' which too frequently disfigure similar meetings . There was but one thing wanting to perfect the satisfaction felt by all who were present and assisted in its deliberation ; and that was the presence in renovated health of our beloved and honoured President . We are quite sure that he would have derived the highest gratification could he have witnessed the perfert harmony which prevailed . We venture to anticipate the happiest result consequent upon this last session of Labour ' s Parliament . The Central Committee will resume its duties with increased vigour , and find themselves stimulated to renewed activity , by the consciousness that their past conduct has been stamped by the approval of those whose interests they are so desirous of promoting .

      We look forward with perfect confidence to an immediate reaction—we are certain that the trades who have hitherto stood aloof from the movement will see the necessity of no longer obstructing senecessary an organisation . By the alterations which have been made in the laws , all parties can assist in forwarding the good work , without in any way interfering with existing societies ; and we trust that , before the year closes , we shall have a confederation eo perfect and numerically powerful , as shall make proud capital confine its operations within those bounds marked out by justice and humanity .

      Among the alterations which have been adopted , the enlargement and more frequent publication of our Report is one of the most important , and best calculated to advance our objects . The Central Committee will turn their immediate attention to this subject , and endeavour to make the ' Association ' s Report' under , perhaps , a more expressive name—a valuable medium of communication between the various bodies in connexion with U 9 , upon all trades ' matters , and a powerful means of exposure of the disgraceful impositions practised by the unprincipled portion of the employers upon those within their power . We therefore trust our friends will make it their chief duty to aid , by every possible means , its circulation . With increased space , and

      more frequent publication , we shall be able more effectually to render it the truthful exponent of those vita ! principles which , when properly understood , is destined to place labour in that dignified position originally assigned to it . We shall also be bettar able to expose the cobweb fallacies of that dangerous school of political philosophy , whose aim and end appears to be to reduce the manufacturing labourers of the British Isles to the condition of serfs . We also hope to be able , through its pages , to give constant evidence of th « spirit of conciliation which is the fundamental principle upon which our Association is established , while , at the same time , we shall be found the unmitigated foes to the oppressors of labour .

      We shall invite all our friends to forward us their contributions and suggestions , to which its columns will always be open—subject , of course , to the usual editorial privilege of condensation and curtailment , when requisite . Its transmission free through the post , will enable tbe poorest of our members to indulge in the luxury of a weekly instructor at the smallest possible cost . We therefore hope they will assist us zealously and continuously in spreading the principle o ! the Association , through the medium of the weekly report .

      It is the intention of the Central Committee to take the earliest opportunity of actively agitating the country ; and , in answer to the various applications which have been sent to the Committee on this subject , since the Conference , the Central Committee beg to say , that this agitation will commence as soon as the Central Cemmittee have been able to clear off the business which has necessarily got into arrears by the Conference , and have perfected the new arrangements rendered necessary hy the alteration in the laws , and the requisite revision and reprintinc the same .

      The report of the Conference proceedings will , we are sure , be read with deep interest . The report of the Committee , of the past year ' s proceedings , proves , we thiuk , to demonstration , the infinite superiority of national over sectional organisation . The long catalogue of cases in which , under the must discouraging circumstances , we have been enabled to obtain benefits for our members , proves the irresistible power of combined action . We have but to continue in the course so judiciously pursued hitherto , to place us in a truly proud position . In our next report we shall be able to present our members with an outline of our future arrangements , in connexion with the weekly report .

      NOTICE . The new edition of the rules , with the various alterations and additions , passed by the Conference , are in the press , and also the new contribution card , and will be forwarded to the members at tbe earliest convenience .
