      THE DEMOCRATIC BEVEBW OF BRITISH AM ) FOREIGN POLITICS , HISTORY , AND LITERATURE . Edited by Gr . Jcxiajt Hatcset . No . 1 , June . London : 5 , TYIne-office Couri ^ Fleet-street . The principles and objects of the Democratic Review Lave been already set forth in this journal , through the medium of the ' Prospectus" which has appeared for some "weeks past in our advertising columns . From the ^ Editor ' s opening address " To the Working Glasses" we select the Mowing extracts : — TIIE PRESS .

      The aristocracy and Itourgeoisic who in this couniry hare monopolised all property , political power , aid social influence , have added to their other Tisurptions , a monopoly of the Press . The Daily journals , without exception , are opposed to your interests . The . Weeklies—with a few exceptions , si-imped and unstamped—are in the hands of commercial speculators , -who , intent only on making profit , pander to popular degradation , by filling ileir Journals with accounts of murders , executions , and every description of crime , glowingly portrayed , to excite a vicious , morbid appetite . The Monthly and Quarterly Magazines and Reviews are published for the entertainment of the " respectable , " and " superior classes" only—or to

      uphold class usurpations and He down the cause of Justice . From , the 3 ith of February , 1848 , to the present hour , nine-tenths of the Newspapers ( Daily and Weekly ) , Magazines , and Eeviews , have unceasingly misrepresented the revolutionary movements on the Continent , and calumniated the men ¦ who as true Democrats , striving for Justice to all , lave taken part in those movements . Even the "liberal pap 2 rs"have not extended their liberality Icyoud patronising the betrayer Latnartine , and the bntdier Cavaignac . Stamped or unstamped , I doubt if half-a-dozen publications throughout

      Engttnd have had the honesty to vindicate the Red Republicans , to defend such men as Sarbes and Albert , Louis Blanc and Caussidiere , and to take tie part fully and fearlessly of the Eevolutionists t € France , Germany , Hungary , and Italy . The secret of the bitter and unscrupulous hostility of the English press to the veritable Revolutionists , and sincere Reformers of the Continent , is to be found in the fact that that Press is the slave fit Wealth and Privilege . The work of a Censorihip , without the odium attached thereto , is accomplished in this country by taxation , restrictive laws , corruption , and class-domination .

      Under this regime of corruption and fraud , profit is the jrraiid object of speculators in Newspapers , Magazines and Reviews . Hence the filthy and lying advertisements of quacks and impostors , which crowd the advertising columns of the Journals . Hence the sickening accounts of royal rareeshows , and the routes and revels of aristocratic flunkeydom . Hence the columns , the pages , devoted to the service of stock-jobbers , railway gamblers , and the rest of the race of money grubbers whose name is " Legion . " Hence the total omission , or , worse still , the travesties of meetings , and proceedings of the poor and unprivilesred classes . Hence the

      contempt , the scorn , andlies poured out upon Chartism , and the fiendish persecution waged against the ad-YocateB of Equal Rights , and Equal Laws . Hence the conspiracy to misrepresent the glorious Red Republicans and Communists of the Continent , and the encouragement given to royal , aristocratic , and txmrgcois assassins to wage a war of extermination against the champions of Equality , Freedom , and Justice . And , hence , my dury , —the duty of every true man—to expose the falsehoods , refute the calumnies , and Lay bare the frauds of these worst enemies of mankind—a duty which will be zealously discharged by the contributors to the Democratic Review . ¦ •¦ - >• ¦ - - .

      The several -political sections of the " higher orders" are represented by their party " Reviews . " The Conservatives have their Qmrtoriy , the Whige their Edinburgh , and the " respectable" Radicals their Wettoiinaer Review . Why should not Democracv be represented as well as Toryism , Whigliberalism , and ShamrRadicalism ? Why should not tfee " lower orders , " ( as you are insolently termed ) have their " Review ?" I can imagine the contempt of aristocratic and " respectable" readers ( should any such chance to glance at this periodical ) , sad can anticipate the

      sneers of the professional critics , at the very title this publication . Their contempt and sneers will be gjll further excited at the price charged for the Democratic Review . " Threepence I" " Can a retpeetaile ' monthly' issue from the press at such a price ? Impossible . " It is true that the Democratic Revibw is published at one twenty-fourth of the price charged for the Westminster , Edinburgh , and Quarterlv . It is true it cannot compete in bulk and appearance wiA its aristocratic and " respectable " r ivals . It is true that the services of the ?« eminent wr iters" who sell their souls to tho proprietors of &e Six SkSling Eeviews , cannot be commanded for

      ur Democratic Review , on that question of questions—the Lam > . The author proposes to refute the "Labour " argument of Locke and ConBEiT—the "Law" argument ot Paley— and o ther arguments of the " best writers , " advanced in support of the rfrht of private property in Land ; also , to show how such "right" -nras really acquired ; how possession of &e Land was obtained—how the people may possess it again—and how , by its resumption into the common fund , all taxation may he abolished . « The Elections in France " is the title of an article contributed hy a Prench correspondent of . the Review . From tuis article we quote the following bouIstirring sentences : ¦

      ^ THE DEMOCRATIC A 5 D SOCIAL SEPCBLIC . The progressive march of the Democratic and Social . Republic -will date from the electiona of the 13 th of May . Henceforward it advances to certain victory . The votes of the army have established between itself and the people a mutuality of interests , which it would be dangerous for auy ambitious power to attempt to break asunder . Yes J the Democratic and Social Republic is assured , for the people and the army have consecrated it by the unanimity of their votes , which declare that there shall be no more impious wars between proletarian brethren , but that hatreds shall retire to their birth-place—the hearts of the privileged orders . A coup d ' etat on their part would serve only to accelerate thetriumph of the democratic cause .

      In spite of shackles forged by the men of privilege , France has recommenced her march of progress . Democrats of all countries , let ^ us take courage ! Before long , the French Republic will complete its mission . The divine precepts ¦ of-Jesus Christ will -be made the basis of universal human happiness , and harmony will cleanse all hearts of hateful passions . Then it will be no longer necessary , as it is now , to say , "Watch and . be ready to repel by the sword your oppressors , while they attack you with instruments of death . " For the mission of man is not to massacre his brother man , but to love him , and to live with him in fraternity , i-An elaborate "Political and Historical

      Review" - —domestic and foreign , from the pen of the Editor , includes in its subjects of comment the late faction-struggle on the " Navigation Laws ; " Mr . Djhjmmoxd ' s " Financial Reform" motion ; the debates on " Prison Discipline , " the "Septennial Act , " and "Vote by Ballot ; " also the movements and meetings of the Chartists , " Reformers , " &c . ; the state of Ireland , the annexation of thePonjaub , and the riotsin Canada ; also the French Elections , the conflict between the kings and the people of Germany , the siege of Rome , the war in Hungary , &c , &c . From this article we extract the

      following : — APPEAL TO THE CHARTISTS . We observe with regret that Sir Joshua Wahns leyand his friends persist in their sectional movement for partial reform . A great national movement will be impossible without a oneness of aim , and that aim must include the rights , the interests , and the sympathies of the proletarians . The masses who have pledged their faith to the Charter may not oppose the moderate reformers , but they certainly will not join them ; and most certainly the moderates themselves are not strong enough to achieve the objects they have in view , lacking the

      support of the working classes . To the proletarians we say : Up and work for yourselves ! Be no longer the scoff of Europe . Show to the heroic democrats on the Continent that you too love liberty and are resolved to establish the Rights of Man—political and social . By your past labours , — by the hope you have to see your children free , — by the sufferings of your persecuted advocates , — by the memories of those who have perished in your cause , — we adjure you to cast off your eowardly , criminal apathy , —we demand of you to rally and struggle once more for the enactment of

      THE PEOPLE ' S CHARTER ! Under the head of " Literature , " lengthy reviews ( including very interesting extracts from the-works reviewed ) , are given of Prenhce ' s "Tour in the United jStotfes /' andLouiS Blaxc ' s " Appeal to Honest People . " In the Letter from "A Proletarian Sufferer for the Charter" " The Sheffield Election , " recognise the hand of an old and valued friend . His letter is well worth the perusal of the Sheffield electors and non-electors . A most feeling , eloquent , heart-moving Letter from " Louis Blasc to the Heroic and Suffering Patriot , Abmasd Baiujes , " will , we venture to predict , be highly prized by the readers of the Democratic Review ; we select

      therefrom the following extracts , ( the writer is speaking of the Revolution of February : )—The sun of those great days will shine again . Av let our enemies give the name of madness to your enlightened magnanimity ; injustice , oppression , falsehood , and evil—these are the true madness . And they would have already discovered this , were it possible for madness to recognise itself ; for ¦ what wretchedness can compare to theirs , who have with them hut the army , and against them their conscience . Are they not in continual dread of the possible outbreaks of poverty ? And amid the phantoms evoked by then * terror , is there not one that for ever and ever appears before them , which seeks for bread , and finds but a musket . Is not T 0-M 0 Rrow the word of our hope , the word of their fear ?

      That which distinguishes our age from these which have preceded it , and rives it its historical originality , is the character or strength and universalfty which now marks doctrines that were formerlv only held by a few thinkers , melancholy pliilosop ' hers , unrecognised tribunes , or sects rapidly stifled , like the first Christians—the only true Christians ! The thinker , the philosopher , the tribune , who , in the present day , represents the imperishable tradition of fraternal equality , is named , in France—the people ! To contain it , prisons are

      too narrow . Our triumph is certain . Oh , my dear Barbes 1 did you but' know how doubly sweet and precious this conviction is rendered by the affection I feel for you ! I know that your Faith , professed in your sublime speech before the tribunal at Bourges , is to you a source of ineffable consolation , that it is that which raises you so far above the mass of mankind ; that it is that Faith which renders you invincible in suffering ; for God has fashioned you of the nature of heroes , of the nature of martyrs , and I know your heart .

      Forty closely-printed pages for Threepence ; the Democratic Review is cheap enough in all conscience . Of its merits we advise our readers to ( purchase this number and ) judge for themselves .

      The Land Monopoly , the Suffering aud Demoralisation caused by it and the Justice and Expediency of Us abolition . By EbeNEZER Jones . London : Charles Fox , Paternoater-rbw . ' . The "Land Monopoly "is rapidly becoming the question of questions , audit is easy to see that ere very long the aristocracy will have to face a movement , compared with which all former popular movements will appear small indeed . In this pamphlet the author argues , that " The people are dependent , the people beg the peop le are humiliated , the people are poor , the people starve — because the people are Landless . "' - ¦' - ¦ " ' : £

      Mr . E . Jo ? e " s shows that the Land Monopoly—a s exiiting in GreatBritain—prevents the cultivation of the iaad proportionate to

      Untitled Article

      the wants ofthe people , causing an insufficiency of agricultural production , and preventing the equitable distribution of that which is produced ; and further shows , that to terminate tne Land Monopoly ( by declaring tho Land national property , and giving compensation to tne present landlords ) , would bo both just and expedient . In the following paragraphs the author shows how the abolition of' the Land Monopol y would accomplish

      THE EMANCIPATION OF 1 AB 0 UR . ivery man or body of men , dissatisfied with the remuneration , or with the conditions of the remuneration i offered for their labour in the labour market , might be entitled to go to the national laud managers , and demand permission to locate themselves on their own share or shares of the land , to produce their own food , on the groand that the action of the labour market did not award it them on fan- terms ; or even on the ground that they have aright to do so if they , choose . This plan would not only secure for such Home Colonisers their Sfl ™ ,., ? i , the ?^ our ofpvoducinjrit , but would also and

      produce maintain an equally just arrangement for all other labourers left m the labour market . For it ia evident , that for the labour market to retain any labourers , it would be obliged ^ raise the" remuneration of their labour andth . eir general trea tment also , until they would be as well situated as if they were to avail themselves of then-right to location on the land . Philanthropists have long seen and exposed ihe justice of fixin g a minimum rate , of wages ; this plan of unlimited Home Colonisation would at once ' establish a just one , free from the evil of personal interference , self-regulating , and proportioned to the cost of food .

      I-et not malevolence exclaim , " wluTis to find the capital necessary for the location of-such of these HomeColonists as should themselves possess r . one , ™ ; . 7 «> od they would need until the production j j ? ? v ' seed ' ° H &c- " The funds expendedjn _ the support of pauperism wbuldtesuffacient for the purpose , or would not be . If the nrst should be the case , there is an end to the objection . If the second supposition should prove to be the correct one , or if the said funds should be discontinued to be raised , because this application of them would set the labouring classesfree , notfromthe

      guidance , but from the despotism of capitalists , then must it be said , that such aid is due from society generally , and that-society must be made to advanceit as a loan . For had there been no laud monopoly , and every man had always been able to adhere to his share of the land , property would have been so diffused ; that a man without capital , ( excepting the idle and extravagant , who must take the consequences of their conduct ) would not be to be found ; and , as the land monopoly lias been created and kept up by society , the necessary compensation to the victims of its consequences must lie by society made . 1 ' .

      So long , however , as the land is held to be the private property of a few , to the exclusion of the many , no such plan , nor any similar plan , can fce adopted . There can be no way of guaranteeing to each industrious Englishman his'interest in the soil he is born unto ; equitable distribution of English produce cannot be secured;—and this country must still remain , glittering in its heights and pinnacles with untold riches and brilliancy , but within ' all poverty and paupcrdom , the wonder and disgrace of civilisation , the richest and wretchedest naticn in Europe . — " This pamphlet will recommend itself to the friends of real reform ; it is hardly necessary to add , that we wish it an extensive circulation .

      SUNSHINE MD SIIADOW : A TALE OF THE NiaETEEUTII CENTURY . B ? THOMAS MARTIN . WHEELER , Late Secretary to the National Charter Association and N ational Land Company . Chapter IX .

      With deathless minds , which leave where they have past A p ath of light , my soul communion knew , Till from that glorious intercourse at last-As from a mine of magic store , I drew Words which were weanons , round my heart there grew , . ' The adamantine armour of their power , And from my fancy wings of golden hue Sprang forth . .. .-., , sheiUy . A LArsE of some months has taken place since Arthur Morton arrived at Birmingham , during which interval his leisure time has been devoted to the study of politics , with occasional attendance at the meetings , then almost nightly held . His shopmates , conscious- of his " abilities , had often invited him to address these public assemblages , but tho

      inherent shyness of his nature had hitherto prevented his doing so . . Meanwhile the political atmosphere was growing still more dense and clouded . The Sflitiori . il Convention still continued its sittings in the metropolis , but their proceedings were not characterised by that unity of purpose which influenced those who had elected them . Oh ! it was a noble , a heart-inspiring sight , to see the myriads of working . bees in all our vast hives of industry , abandoning all sectional pursuits , forgetting all minor subjects of rivalry , actuated by one mighty impulse , sacrificing their time , their talent , their hard-earned pittance , and ; in many instances ; their employment , to one grand object—the regeneration of their country . Such union , such

      devotion , deserved , and would have ensured success , had their delegates , in Convention been inspired by the same devoted self-sacrificing spirit . But the spirit of party and of class was fast gaining the ascendancy in that body ; composed of ill-assorted and hastily-combined materials , it had no coherency in it—all was rivalry and opposition . This rendered their proceedings a source of discord to their constituents ; spreadingthe evils of disunion from the centre to the 'remotest limits of the Confederacy , reducing their moral and physical stamina , until they fell an easy prey into the hands of the government . Let not our censure be too sweeping—great and noble spirits were there in " that Assembly . Men who were an ornament to that body , and to the class to which they belonged , but their influence was not sufficient to restrain the wild but honest ardour of the physical-force party on the one hand , or the cupidity , and . selfishness of many of the

      morallorco party oii the other hand . Tho government , paralysed in the first instance , sneedily regained assurance , and amidst its internal divisions , - and the retirement of many of its members , the rpmnant of the Convention , distrusting their position in the metropolis , resolved to entrench themselves among the physical-force men of Birmingham . But , alas for the reputation of Bh'mingham . kit . no longer suited the Whigs , nor the Whig press , to parade the numbers organisation , and military equipment of thy sons ; tho phantasmagoria had achieved it 3 object , the conjurors were seated at the helm ; they needed not the illusion , ; so the spell was broken , the charm deprived of its power , and thou wast transformed from a military citadel , bristling with guns and bayonets , into thy ordinary quiet ana peaceful position , never again to regain thy warlike character . . ' ¦' ¦¦

      - , On the evening previous to the expected arrival of the Convention , a large meeting took place in the Bull Ring . Densely crowded was . that vast area , the dim lights showing in dark perpective the eager and anxious countenances of the assembled thousands . Speaker after speaker poured forth in angry invective , denunciatory of the niiddle-class leaders , who had betrayed and deserted them , and declared their' fierce determination to . dare the vengeance of the government , and rally round the remnants of their" delegated . There is something tragic even in the excited passions and feelings of one individual—but when these feelings , these passions , are communicated to the multitude by the electricity of eloquence , the scene is majestic and

      overpowering in the extreme . All sense of individuality is annihilated—the unit is lost in the mass —the solitary billow merged into ithe raging ocean , which swells and foams as if in disdain of the Laws which regulate its motion . So it is \ vitli the multitude , wnen once heart hath spoken to heart , and the sympathy of mutual feeling and mutual indignation has linked the speaker to his hearers . Arthur . Morton had been accommodated with a seat on the temporary platform . The spirit of the time and tho hour was burning within his veins . A feeling of suffocation pervaded his frame . Unknowing what ho did , and scarce conscious of his own identity , he sprang to the centre at the close of one of the speakers' harangue , and , casting a glance of

      ire on the agitated and troubled mass of human beings below him , gave utterance to the pent-up feelings of years , and poured forth such a torrent of fervid eloquence that the excited myriads before him were spell-bound with the potent charm . No longer swelled and roared that mighty Jiving ocean . Motion itself seemed hushed , and the strained eyeballs glaring upon him , and the dense heavy silence which prevailed , were the only visible signs of the working of the spell . A brief pause in the orator's burning words seemed to break the charm , the death-liko silence quivered into voice , until the whole mass was redolent of sound . Again the voice of . the orator falls upon their ears—hushed again is that stormy ocean . With the energy of inspiration , the speaker lays bare

      the miserable sophisms of the advocates of misrule , and laughs to scorn their bksphemous plea of right divine . The world's past history is thrown with lightning glance into his hearers' very hearts , and shown to be one red record of misery and crime wherever man's rights have been kept in abeyance ; next his powerful eloquence vents itself on the treachery and deceit of those worshippers of the golden calf who would use the energies of his audience as the stepping-stone to their own advancement . The flimsy veil of their apparent co-operation is torn to shreds—the bitter mockery of their similarity of interest is laid bare with iron handtheir conventional hypocrisy is exposed in all its narrow and naked deformity , and earnestly and solemnly are they appealed to , to cast off all dependence upon others , to trust solely to their own energies , and leave the decision to the God of justice

      and the God of battle . Tho audience still listened in breathless silence , but the orator had ceased ; and while the echoes of their applause were still ringing in his ears , he was quietly treading his way to his home , overcome by this unwonted excitement . No after speaker addressed the meeting . It would have been but of little avail . The hoarded eloquence of an embittered life , the hard experience of hunger and of want , had been lavished upon them , and all meaner food would have been rejected . Of all the varied ' gifts of man , the most powerful , the most fascinating , is tho magic of the tongue , whether breathing soft whispers to beauty ' s willing ear , or commanding the wrapt attention of the listening senate—whether thundering in the pulpit , or pleading at ' the bar , its efFects are alike potent . Would that its accents were only powerful in a right and just cause . [ To 1 ) 6 continued . )

      THEI STAMIELD HALL MUrMiS . It reference to the description of the finding of a blunderbuss , with which it is supposed Rush committed the murders at Stanfield Hall , Col . Oakos , the chief constable of the Norfolk police , has addressed the following letter to several journals ' : — " Having read in your journal a communication from a Wymondham correspondent , which imputes blame to myself and to the officers under my command , for not having previously discovered the blunderbuss which has lately been found at the Potash-farm , I rely with confidence on your kindness to give insertion also to the following short reply to it .

      "The general search which was carried on throughout the whole of this property , and up to the very gates of its farm-yards , , was essentially as your correspondent has described ; but there are circumstances in connexion with those favm-yards which require explanation , inasmuch as thoy ' pre ? sented difficulties which we had neither means nor authority to surmount . The Potash Farm was in the occupation of Mr . Jame 3 Rush , and not of his father . Up to a certain point air our operations had been greatly to his advantage . His ditches and his fences had been trimmed anu cleaned out ; his manure had been collected from various parts of the farm , and placed in convenient heaps for him , while those previously- formed had boon turned . All this was materially to his benefit , and in all I consequently

      received his most ready concurrence ; but unfortunately his , interest did not require that his yard should be disturbed . His labourers were threshing in the barn ; the waggons were passing over that yard to deposit tho corn to be so threshed ; the cattle were turnedinto it , and were there fed . 'The whole of his business , with the exception of ploughing , seemed to be concentrated in that spot ; .-had I therefore , under such circumstances , made a forcible entry , upon this part of the premises , I should indeed have carried my research , as your correspondent says , to almost complete demolition . The manure collected in that yard had been frequently turned , as far as vo could roach it with forks , but the enormous mass of . , which it was composed ( amounting to many hundred loads ) could not by

      possibility have been removed without resorting to means far beyond those-which I had hitherto , pos acs 8 ed ; but on tho very day , the vory moment after the prisoner Rush waa committed for trial , I applied to ' the magistrates then assembled at tho Castle to furnish me with authority to keep ' possession of Potash Farm until my search eould be completed . This I did for the express purpose of removing the manure and straw from the farm-yard , and of taking down the several stacks which were yet standing . This authority the magistrates did not feel themselves empowered to give , and I consequently remained in my previous state of dependence on the will and pleasure of Mr . Rush . He had already given me intimation that he should no longer allow mo or my officers to trespass upon his

      property ; but it was not until he named a certain day on which he should take legal steps to prevent it that I consented to withdraw , on his' promising that nothing which was capable of concealing the objects of our search should be removed until previous notice had been given to the police . This condition was faithfully observed in regard to the stacks , and none were removed but in the presence of the police ; but the motive for the very suddon and unexpected removal of the manure lam inclined to think is not even yet before ithe public , which will at once explain the broach of our conditions in regard to It . It is briefly this : —a memorandum had been found amongst the papers of Rush , indicating particular spots in . " the farm-yard where a

      brown paper parcel containing papers and a pan- of boots was concealed ( of course no mention was made of the blunderbuss , ) but in the search for this property it was discovered . " I think , it right to apprise you that what has been described as a shed , was actually standing in the farm-yard , and was composed of nothing more than a few long wooden uprights , supporting a canopy or roof , under which the cattle took shelter and were also fed . That I have been condemned for having done too much in the discharge of my late duty I am aAvarc , but to be censured for having done too little is what I could never have anticipated , even from the malice of an enemy . "R . M . Oakes . "

      Another Proof of Rush s Guilt . —The following letter still furthor confirms the guilt of Rush : — " Sir : Knowing the anxiety of the public to ascertain all the particulars of the late murders in Norfolk , ' I beg to inform you that , having had my attention colled to a letter in the Daily News of Tuesday week , from Mr . Duncan , stating that a doublebarrelled blunderbuss had been found at Potash Farm , it occurred to me instantly that a man exactly answering Rush ' s description bought such a gun of me on the 13 th of July last ; and feeling quite convinced that the gun found was that which 1 had sold , and feeling , further , thtvt it was Rush who bought it , I immediately wrote to Sir J . Boileau on the subject , . and described the gun exactly , and on the following day Col . Oakes brought the gun ' found at Potash for mo to see , and , it turns out to be that which I sold . The person who bought it had a stick made for making cartridges , , and was shown

      the manner of making them , and was also supplied with slugs , flints , « fcc .. The gun is a flint doublebarrelled bayonet blunderbuss . Feeling that this circumstance supplies the only link wanting to complete the chain of evidence , induces me to request the favour of insertion in your valuable journal . —I am , Sir , &c , Joiw W . P . Field , for Parker , Field , and Sons , gunmakers , 233 , High Holborn . —May 25 . Emily Sandfohd . —A weekly paper of Monday says : —" This young woman , for whose aid a subscription has been collected , amounting to many hundred pounds , left Gravesend on Sunday with her child , the result of her intercourse with Rush , in the barque Casper . Tho Casper will remain at Plymouth for a few days , and thence proceed to Port Adelaide . Emily Sandford looked careworn and haggard , and evidently wished to avoid the gaze of parties who had visited the Vessel for the purpose of taking a farewell of their relatives and friends . "

For instanco when we are preparing for ourselves that refreshing beverage called tea , by pouring boiling water on its leaves , we have little idea ' that we are also preparing an agreeable warm bath for thousands of little

      animalcules ! If there is any doubt of the fact , we can easily convince ourselves , by first procuring a teaspoon full of spirits , above proof , and then pouring it on the warm tea-grounds which have been left at the bottom of the cup . In about half a , minute they become violently convulsed . In a , word , we have been playing a most mischievous , perhaps cruel , experiment , for ve have made the ittle creatures mad drunk .

      The Boxapartes . —It may be worth while here to devote a few lines to them and their relationshi ps . It is , of course , known to every one that Napoleon Bonaparte was the second son of Charles-Marie Bonaparte ; that he married—first , Josephine , by whom he had no issue ; second , Marie Louise of Austria , whose only child , the Due de Reichstadt , died in 1832 , at Tierina , when the right line of the Imperial family became extinct . ¦ Napeleori had four brothers—Joseph , his elder , Lucien , Louis , and Jerome ; and three sisters—Eliza , - Pauline , and Caroline . Joseph , King of > Spain , left two daughters—Zenaide and Charlotte—but no sons . Lucien , Prince of Caninb , had no less than eleven children , five sons and six daughters : of whom there are still

      living , Charles Kapoleon Prince of Canino , who married his cousin , Zenaide , daughter and heiress of Joseph , by whom he has ton children—Louis Lucien , Pierre Napoleon , Antoine , Charlotte ( married to Prince Gabrielli ) , Christine ( married to Lord Dudley Stuart ) , Lictitia { married to Mr . Thomas "Wyse ) , Alexandrine ( married to Count Valeritini ) , Constance ( now a nun ) , and Jeanne ( married to the Marquis Honorati ) . Louis , King of Holland , who married Queen Hortense , had three sons , Napoleon , Jfapoleon Louis , and Louis Napoleon—the only survivor and now President of the French Republic . Jerome , King of"Westphalia , had two sons , Jerome Xapoleqn and . Napoleon , and one daughter , MatiWe , now Princess Demidoff . Of the sisters of Napoleon ,

      Eliza married Prince Felix Bacchiochi , and left one daughter ( now married to Count Camerata ) . Pauline left no children . Caroline married Murat , King of Ifaples , arid became the mother of the pi-eseht Lueien Charles Murat , of Lbetitia ( married to Count Pepoli ) , and of Louise ( married to Count Rasponi ) . This is the entire Bonaparte family . Of the brothers and sisters of the Emperor only Jerome now remains . Of the second generationhis nephews and nieces—there are fourteen ; and of the third generation there is a still more considerable number . As will be seen from the foregoing programme , Louis Napoleon is not the head of his family by order of his nature . By right of primogeniture all the descendants of Lucien would take M-ecedenee of the heirs of Louis ; but , as is well

      inown , Lucien was in disgrace when his imperious brother had the order of succession to his empire fixed—and he and his descendants were excluded . How far this law , founded on a whim , is binding in sueh a new state of things as the present is a question which the partisans of the family are beginning to ask themselves . Louis Napoleon is the only remaining male member of the families entitled by the laws of the Empire ( 28 . Floreal , an . xu . and 5 Frimaire , an . xhi . ) to the succession . The Prince of Canino , the real head of the house , has declared his intention of returning to France and entering the Chamber .

      Lord Brougham w Lead . —There is a story current that some time since a whole army of "Lord Broughams , " executed in lead , and of colossal proportions , disembarked in the United States , and were drawn up on a public quay in two lines , resembling an avenue of Egyptian statues . The Custom House officers were lost in . ' wonder at the sight of so many giants turning up their noses at Brother Jonathan , and inquired what the monster importation meant . " Statues of Lord Brougham , " replied the skipper ; " one for every city in the Union ; being the gift of his lordship's English admirers to the American Republic . " Lead , as such , is subject to a heavy import duty , but " works of art" are admitted free . What could the officers of Customs

      do ? They did not swallow the skipper ' s story , but they could not detain his statues ; and in a . short time Lord Brougham was in the melting-pot , and " cast into bullets for the Mexicans .

      En-couster with a Tiger . —The following extraordinary tiger story is from tho Graham s Town Journal . The adventure is said to have taken place on the 25 th of March last : — " Mr , Charles Orpcn has just returned from the interior , after having had a most narrow escape from death in an encounter with a tiger that had been wounded . The furious animal leaped upon him , struck his gun and whip out of ills hand with the first blow of his p ; iws , and wounded his head very severely with his teeth in several places . All ' the wounds on his head are on the scalp , except a severe one on his right temple , leaving a , large scar , and a slight one on the forehead , just above the nose . The flow of blood from these wounds prevented his seeing , as it ran into his eyes ; but , nevertheless , he continued to grannie with the animal , and finally to throw it

      down and kneel upon it . During this struggle Mr . Orpen endeavoured to seize the tiger by the throat , but not succeeding in this he grasped it by the under jaw . Thus situated he continued for about half-an-hour struggling with the animal until at length , gradually relaxing its hold , it sank down ana died from loss of blood . At the same moment Mr . O ., unable to hold up any longer , fell fainting upon the savage beast . His hands and arms were shockingly mutilated—there being thirty-three wounds on one and twenty-five on the other . Many of the wounds are down to and even into the bone . Some quite through the hand , and across veins , arteries , and nerves . Besides other wounds he . was soratched in numerous . places by the animal ' s claws , and his clothes were nearly torn from his back . reserved

      The head and skin of the tiger have been p , measuring nine feet from the nose to the tip of the tail . Mr . O . was laid up for two months and a half , often fainting from weakness . His wounds frequently bled afresh , the blood being so thin as to be almost colourless . At the time of this encounter Mr . Cumming ( his travelling companion ) ' lay ill of fever in his waggon . He had , however , with him four Kaffirs , with assagais , one Hottentot with a gun and two dogs . ¦ The latter were useless , merely springing about and yelping , whils the Kaffirs , throwing away their assagais , ran off at once . The Hottentot leaped into the river close by , and in a fright fired off his gun in the air . Mr . O . suffered greatly by the jolting of the waggon and the want of proper medicarassistance . He is now gradually recovering , though it is feared he will never recover the proper use of his left hand . " ,
