The National Instructor . No . 1 . London : Published by W . Bider , 16 , Great Windmill-street . We have received the first number of thiajiew -candidate for public patronage , too late to do more than announce the fact of its appearance . TVe may add , that it is neatly printed , and its columns give promise of a judicious varietya blending of the entertaining with the useful . The contents include the first of a series of
papers on the "Progress and Effects of steamdriven Machinery ; " an article on the poet Wordsworth ; Chapter 1 of a story entitled ¦ " The Secret ; " and the first four pages of the "Life and Adventures of Feargus O'Connor ,. Esq ., M . P . " We must postpone extracts , " * ith the exception of the following paragraphs "from , the Editor ' s opening address : — That there may be no mistake as to our objects , we have distinctly to state , that in politics we
vuU advocate the adoption , unmutilated , of the ' People ' s Charter f because Political Eights inferejnthe nation , and the nation is composed of individuals , no one of whom has a right to exclude pother from the franchises common to alt In Social Science , we shall base all propositions on the oroad scriptural and unassailable ground , that the landos the creation of the Author of the Universe , ¦ and that , while man has a fair claim to all that he ttdiv idually produces , he has no right whatever to appropriate to his own use that which God gave for
These two departments of human thought , leading to human action , are , though separate in their ex-^ al aspect , identical in essence . The Political -Beiormer strives to win for the masses the posr « saon of political power . The Social BefOrmer wsnes to show them how that power may be osed dost beneficially for themselves and the community . The "SinoHiL Issiebcwb" will aim at representing aad reconciling both . It will be , essentially , * journal of political and social progress ; not as measured by the opinions adopted after reading the Kmtt , " but as laying the foundations , broad and " Ude , of those great and holy principles of society , vpon which alone human communities can defy all toe mutations of ages and races .

Louis Blanc in my life ; I don ' t know him . " He continues : " while I was at the atelier I saw M . Marie every ; day , often twicea-day ; MM . Recurt / Budhez , and Marrast almost every day ; IsawM . deLamartine only once , 'M . Xedru Rollinnever , nor M ; Louis Blanc , never saw M . Flocon nor M .

Ledru Rollin , Flocon , and others . I was in direct hostility with the Luxembourg . I openly opposed the influence of M . Louis Blanc" ' .. . .
Now , there is not a single deposition in the whole . three volumes of the inquiry to weaken the force of these most clear and positive official declarations . Let them search all ¦ the archives and all the poisoned weapons so g ladly seized upon by the connter-revolntion to injure me , and they will not find a single .: declaration that tends , in the least , to point me outas the originator , organiser , or even approver of the ateliers nationaux . ;! ;; To the evidence : already adduced , Louis Blanc add 3 tne official acts and decrees from the iVohftear , prpvHigbeyondthefeachofdoubtthat the project of theAteliers Nationaux was entirely a scheme of Marie ' s , and was as entirely carried out by that traitor and his instruments . Although one of the Provisional Government , Louis Blanc was not even consulted in the
matter .. "Theresolutions , " heobserves , ^' vrere come to at a sitting to which they took care not to call me . ' If it be urged , that although the Ateliers Nalionaux were established without his sanction , they were , at least , established on his principles—that assertion ia at once disposed of by showingthat . / -.

IHB SO-CAtLED ';' SAtlOSAL , " WERE KOI SOClAt , - - WORKSHOPS . . ... ; . . She social workshops that I proposed , ' were intended to bring together all the workmen-of the same trade . ' . ; : •; . . ; The national icorkshops , such as they were under M . Marie , exhibited a nnmber , of . workmen gathered together indiscriminately fromi every variety of trade , and all employed at the : same kind of work . ' ' ' : ; " ¦ ¦ . ' /' ¦¦ '¦ ¦ . i-: 'i - .--:. ' .., In the social workshops , such as I had proposed them , the workmen would form a sort of joint-stock company with the government , but would work for their own common profits : that is , with all the ardour of self-interest united to the powerful influence of association ; and that feeling of honour termed esprit de corps . - - ¦ ¦ ¦ :: ¦ -.. ;!
' In the national workshops of M . Marie , the state acted merely , as employer , and the workmen as hired servants . Now , aa the labour was useless , mere pretence , arid in most respects quite new to the ^ woi-kmen , the government was consequently only squandering its finances by -giving a premium to idleness , and alms to the poor under a pretence of was ; es . . . ¦ - ' ¦ ¦ :. ¦ •' : ¦ - , •¦ - ¦<¦ ¦ ., ! The social workshops , according to my proposals , would have formed families of workmen , united by the firmest bonds of . solidarity , haying the strongest interest to be industrious , and therefore productive . The national workshops under if . Marie , were but a tumultuous assembly of proletarians , bound together by no tie , but a sort of military discipline , under chiefs bearing the strange but characteristic title af ' lrigdiers ; and for "whom nothing was done but to give them food for want of knowing how to occupy them . . . . .. ¦ > -,,. ¦
Louis Blanc proves still more—that the ateliers nationaux were established for the purpose of undermining his influence ; in fact , were created for the purpose of placing an army at the disposal of the' enemies of Socialism . Even Lamartine has written , tbat "the ateliers nationaux formed , till themeet ing of the Assembly , a sort of check to the soctarian workmen of the Luxembourg , and the seditions workmen of the clubs . Far from being in the pay of Louis Blanc—as it has been said—they were inspired ; by the spirit of his adversaries . " - ; .- . ¦ . ¦ • ¦ ¦¦ ¦;¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦ ..: . . ¦ ¦ ¦ Louis . Blanc pays the following eloquent tribute to the lofty principle and sterling patriotism of the delegates of the
Luxembourg—It is important to observe , that" the delegates of the Luxembourg have never received a farthing . " Their mission was ever and entirely gratuitous :. insomuch that it was the cause of their . greatest privations and most severe troubles-r-most of them being dismissed by . their enraged employers , and followed np by a most barbarous and unrelenting persecution . Combinations- were formed against these advocates of tbe poor , in order to deprive them of the bread of labour ; and their consequent distress wa 3 afterwards shamelessly used as an argument against them . " „ . ''¦'' "What has become now " of all your deceptive
theories ? " said some to them . "Ton are told of the organisation of labour ; the advantages of association are held up to you ; the speedy abolition of proletarianism is promised you—mere rhetorical flourishes , Utopian dreams , Will-o ' -the-wisps , by which you are led away , naked and famished , into the land of chimeras . Gome to yourselves again , miserable beings ; turn a deaf ear to the fascinating , but empty , sounds of such orators . Remember that poverty is the inevitable lot of the greatest number . Were ever your sufferings greater ? Do you not hear the cry of your children , or see the pale cheeks of their mothers ! " ;
Such were the word 3 of men who , with cool calculating cruelty , shut up their capital , went about complaining of loss of credit , suspended the works they had commenced , and refused to undertake that which was offered them , in order that they might bring about the evils they had foretold ; and lent themselves to the basest tricks in order to prevent the realisation of ideas that they had declared impracticable—the hypocrites * , ' ... ' But the people were not to be deceived . Neither threats nor promises , astful advice nor prolonged
distress , could shake the calmness 'with' which the representatives of the corporations of the ; Luxembourg held their solemn hunger council-meetings . And we , who were daily witnesses of this heroism , whose only reward was in its holy enthusiasm , were deeply affected with admiration and respect . Highminded men , accept this testimony from one now in exile , the emotions of whose heart were all known to you . In the midst of . all my afflictions and solitude I have yet one source of happiness that neither fortune nor my enemies can take away—it is the pleasure , the glory , of being loved by such
menasyou . We close this subject with the following extract from Louis Blanc ' s eloquent - PB 0 IE 3 T AGAINST THE CALUM 5 UT 0 ES . After all these overwhelming evidences of the falsehood of the accusation brought against me , and after my having so repeatedly and publicly proved this falsehood , that I should still have been made the victim of such a slander , shows the immense power of calumny when we see all shades of oppressive parties equally making use of it . The attUer nationaux wasted the public money , humiliated the labour by proffering him the bread that he wished to gam for himself ; . they brought discredit upon state-interference with labour ; and , instead of
forming associations of labourers , they raised battalions of men paid to be idle , composing an anomalous army , tbat would one day have to be disbanded at the risk of civil war ! The flimsy logicians of the laissez-faire system were delighted to attribute to us all these evils . What a splendid opportunity for the . supporters of the old political economist ideas to excite public opinion against us by pointing to these ateliers natfonatueas a complete application of the Organisation of Labour , and yet they were at best but a bungling parody , on it ! The ^ imposture was unmistakable in its tendency : It ' furnished our adversaries with the opportunity of saying , for want of argument , ' What usereasonmg about it ? Have we not here one fact in answer to alliyour
theories ?' . ' But was there ' not enough . to confound the most impudent calnmny in thaassociations that did take their origin from tha Luxembourg , as'that pf-the . tailors—that of the spinner 3-H > f the lacemakers , and the saddlers , which -were all so radity different from the ateliers hatiohaux ? And so much determination of villany and falsehood , has been emp loyed to confuse the public mind in thi 3 respect , that even now there are persons who confound the present working men ' s associations that arose solely ontof th ' eLuxembburg . ' witnthe ateliers nationaux , though these exist no longer , and those are prospering , and , thank Heaven ! will c « n tinue to prosper . Addjtp this thevoluntary silence I have so long imposed opon myself ; for , b ? uie the object of an unjust accusation , I thought that he to whom tt reaUy appfied wold tote made it a point

; ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE . The succession ofgreat events which have resulted in the supremacy of British . rule over the whole surface of India , from the conquests of Clive and the tragedy of the Black-holei have each in their turn proved a fertile subject for the illustration of the stage . Whatever may be ; the next dramatic representation drawn from India , it will not exceed in interest the now old spectacle of The Afghanistan War , or the Revolt of Cabul , and British Triump hs in India , which was revived at this highly popular place of amusement . ; The main events of this portion of BriUshhisj ^ ry . are , strikingly rendered by Mr .

The leading , characters were extremely well supported ; the tableaux brilliant ; and the auditory , who were very numerous , highly delighted . The remaining performances which gratified the holiday visitors consisted of a series ef feats of equitation , relieved by . the drolleries of Messrs .

The leading feature in .. the attractions of the bill of fare was the re-appearance of Mr . 6 . Y . Brooke , the eminent tragedian . The performances commenced with ShakspeareV tragedy of King John , in which Mr . Brooke sustained the part of the recreant usurper of his brother ' s throne . The entertainments concluded with a serio-comic fairy spectacle , founded on a tale of Alfred Crowquill ' s and written by Mr . E Sterling , entitled ihe Woodman ' s Spell . This afterpiece introduces a variety of elphin scenery , enchantments , revels , and fairy dances , and to such afforded much satisfaction and merriment to the auditory , who conducted themselves , considering that the occasion was a Whitsuntide saturnalia , with comparative propriety and decorum throughout the entire evening .

SURREY . ¦•• : v This theatre furnished the holiday folk with an abundant bill of fare , in which two or three of the productions were novelties , at least on this side the water . The first play was entitled Matilda ; or Lugarto , the Jbulatte , a translation from the French of Eugene Sue , and bearing indubitable marks of its origin . The plot turns upon the power obtained by the Mulatto ( Mr . T . Mead ) over Gontrau de ; Lancy ( Mr . T . Shepherd } , who had confided to him certain secrets , 'which give rise to many interesting incidents . It was received with great applause . The Ethiopian Serenaders . of Mr . G . W .
