From jEhe Continent there is nothing to leport saye ^ the continued ascendancy of the despotic and reactionary party . : The President of the so-called French Republic has , as we anticipated , applied the money voted to him by the Assembly , in purchasing such popularity and support as can be procured by money . There is eridenfly . a breach opening fretweenhim and the Assembly , and several
CONTINENTAL DESPOTISMS COKIINEOT ^^ spomsms
Studied insults to the Republic itself , through the medium of the minions who act as Ministers , seem to indicate that he means to force Ids way to the Consulship or Dictatorshi p , he has evidently contemplated from the commencement , His success may be attained a £ such an ultimate cost as to make it a dear victory over the people , by whom he was elevated to the position of Head of the Republic , and ¦ whose support he has repaid by the blackest treachery and ingratitude .
The effect of the disfranchising bill has been more sweeping and destructive than its concoclors themselves contemplated . More than two-thirds of the electors of Paris have been deprived , by that infamous measure , of the franchise , and the reduction throughout the ¦ wh ole country will be more than one-half . So desperately bent on depriving the masses of political power were the " seventeen , " that it appears the measure will , for a time at least , cat off JVL Thiers himself ; and the despotic journals complain loudly that many of the " friends of order" ha ? e been deprived of their
¦ votes . The electoral law has been followed by the law on the press . It was a vindictive and effectual measure for the entire suppression of the free press , when introduced by the Government , but it has been since altered so frequently and so strangely that it appears to us if it is enforced , the practical result will be to put down every newspaper hi the country , loms 2 sTapO £ EOX will then have achieved , trader a Republic , precisely the same result as Nicholas of Russia , under an autocrat . The complete subversion of all individual rights , the suppression of public opinion , and the
establishment of a , tyranny , resting solely on ihe sword . This is his return for the genexons confidence of that people , who took him from his furnished lodging hi St . Jamesstreet , and placed him hi the Palace of Elysse . But , if history lies not , he will yet reap his reward . Throughout the country the reign , of terror , proscription , and police espionage is hi full operation , and the only consolation to be gathered from the present state of things is , tbat the bow is bent so tight the string must snap soon . Reaction is inevitable ; When it comes , may God defend the right !
In other quarters there is pretty nearly the same tale to toll . The Pope and Cardinals proceed with their policy of crashing out every lingering spark of liberty in Rome . The King of Prussia steadily pursues his dynastic and despotic career . Austria keeps fell gripe of the throat of Hungary , and Denmark , under a pretence of agreeing to a peace , is set at liberty to commence a war of aggrandizement against the Duchies of Sleswig-Holstein . From the United States , the principal political news is the continuance of the struggle between the Free Soil and Pro-slavery parties , arising out of the claim of California to be admitted as a Free State . It has lasted all the Session , and at present seems as far from a termination as ever .

FRIENDLY ASSOCIATION OP LONDON COSTERMONGBRS .
A Public Meetiko of General Dealers or Costerraongers , was held on Monday evening at the National Dal I , High Holborn , called by the Committee of the Friendly Association of Costermongers . On the platform » e noticed Henry MayhewTthe commissioner of the Morning Chronicle , Charles Cochrane , Esq ., the Hon . Mr . Tansiftart , T . Hughes , Esq ., barrister-at-law , and Mr . Walter Cooper , all of whom , on entering the hall , were received with the loudest acclamations . Mr . Mayhew was called to the chair , and immediatel lled
me y ca on Mr . Hoddus to read the report drawn up by the committee , which being done , Mr . Mayhew described society as fast hurrying to that horrible division of two classes , the very rich and very poor ; ' and said it behoved the working classes to come together for their own advantage and protection , and at great length explained the advantages that must arise to tfie costermongers from the establishment of a friendly association embracing a saving , a loan , provident , and protection fund , showing what could be done for them by putting by from one penny to ten nence Der
weefc m the days of their prosperity , when the day of adversity arrived . Chaklbs Cochbaxe , Esq ., moved the first resolution : — " That this meeting approves of the re . port of the committee , and are determined to do all that can be done to further the objects ot the association . ' Mr . Cochrane , having eulogised Mr . Mayhew for his admirable letters on the " Wron " s of Labour , " said that the > whole of the evils of society might be traced either to the maltreatment or neglect of thepeople , and it was the duty ol all classes to step forward in the work of social
amelioration ; he was so pleasefwith this effort on behalf of the oppressed costermongers , that although comparatively a poor man , he would give a guinea annually in support of the funds , ( Loud cheers . ) V The resolution was adopted unanimously . Mr . Baniu , in a speech which was warmly greeted , moved the second resolution as follows : — " That this meeting being well aware of the utility and necessity of providing a fund for cases of sickness , and other mislbrtuues , earnestly desire that such a fund should be established , and will support the same . " rr
Mr . Walter Coomb , amidst the most rapturous and long-continued applause , stood forward to second the resolution , aud said he was delighted to meet such a numerous body of men , standing forward in self-defence , particularly when he remembered they were of that class who h ; id pushed along the streets with their barrows as a nuisance . He hardly knew how to address men , who had bread to-n : ght , and , perchance , to-morrow would be without ; men , many of them who scarce knew what the luxury of a bed was . ( Hear / hear . ) There was m their effort a union of classes ; but for himself , he was bound to say he cared nothing" for " caste , " except that he infinitely preferred the sober ,
virtuous costerraonger , to the debauched lord . ( Great applause . ) It had been said that they should make application to the respectable classes and clergy for . assistance ; he did not object , and he should , for once , like to see the clergy doing their duty ; he would not have objected to see the Bishop of London in the chair . ( L ; iughter . ) If the church wished for the support of the people , she must show she deserves it by aiding the people . Mr . Cooper then apostrophised Mr . Mayhew for his benevolence and utility , and in the most impassioned and eloquent manner invoked the meeting to press onward in the good work , and resumed his seat amidst unbounded applause . The resolution was carried unanimously .
The Honourable Mr . Vaxsitiart , in an eloquent speech , moved the third resolution as follows : — " That this meeting feeling the want of education for themselves an _ d children , will support the committee in their endeavours to carry out a Mutual improvement Society , aud to establish schools . " T . Hughes , Esq ., B ; irrister-at-Law , and treasurer of the Costermongers' Association , seconded the resolution . The resolation was carried unanimously . It was announced that an office was already opened for the purposes of the Association , at 151 , High nolborn .

MARLBOROTJGH-STREET . —Tickeiiso Shops in OxEoitD-STREB 7 .--Two ladies applied for advice to Mr . Bingham in the . following matter : —They were passing through Oxford-street when they stopped to look at some dresses at No . 10 , a linendraper ' s , which they thought were marked 113 d . each . A person from the shop invited them to look at the dresses , and they weiit into the shop . The dresses were produced , and instead of- ll ' Jd . j ' they were informed the price was Is . Uh , and that tho length was only five yards . They told the shopman or who ever he was that five yards would not make more than half a dress , and he admitted that was true . They then declined to buy a dressand were
, leaving the shop when they were inducod to return and look at some corded petticoats which were to be had at tho low price of two for half-a « crown ; They agreed to take two and put down half-a-crown . As soon as the man had got possession of the money , ho said it was not the practice to sell petticoats alone—they must take three of the dresses at Is . lljd ., or he would neither give them the petticoats , nor return the money . ¦ Finding remonstrance useless , they left tho shop and mentioned how they had been served to a person who was passing , and he advised them to take their statement to a police-court .

THE WEEKLY MEETINGS AT JOHN STREET . On Tuesday evening a large concourse Of persons attended to take part in the Chartist proceedings . Mr . W . A . Fletcher was unanimonsly called to the chair , and said , recent proceedings in Parliament , such as the damaging liberal Irish measures , and tho rejecting and counting out liberal English measures , called for remark , and ho thought , the severest rcprehensionjbut those things only tended to show him tho urgent necessity there was for their being energetic m the good work , and speedily obtain a perfect control , by means of actual representation , over the Legislature . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . STAMiWooD , amidst loud cheers , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting deeply deplores , the ignorance and infatuation of the Lfiiris .
lature in altering tho voting" clause of the Irish Franchise Bill from oight to fifteen pounds ; in rejecting Mr . Locke King's County Franchise Bill ; and m counting-out the' house during the mover ' s speech , whilst introducing the question of the People ' s Charter ; also that of Mr . Baron Aldorson , and other Bo ^ oalled Judges , in making what appears to us invidious distinctions between rich and poor , whilst passing sentence in a recent case at the Old Bailey session . This meeting oan only view such things as an increased incentive tothe work of organisation foreffectingthefullpoliticalandsooialrights of the whole people . "—Mr . Stallwood , in proposing tho resolution , showed the miserable state of tho Irish franchise , as exhibited by the present contest
in the county of Mayo , only one in a thousand havingtheright to vote , and the degraded position socially considered of tho Irish people , mainly caused by the want of that ' Legislative protectionthe suffrage , would give , and censured tho Marquis of Lansdowrie for tacitly supporting the raising the sum in the voting clause from ei ght to fifteen pounds . Mr . Locke King had thought if ten pound householders made electors in boroughs , the same class would make equally good electors in counties , and had moved accordingly ; however , the house thought differently , and throw out the motion by a { arge majority ; one good had resulted from tllis , it had caused dissatisfaction enough amongst , a lar ^ e class of Whig supporters , and brought a considerable
number over to the Chartist ranks . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Feargus O'Connor had fulfiled his promise , and brought the question of the People's Charter before the nouse , a question that had an immense mass of supporters out of doors , and of whom Mr . Feargus O ' Connor was the representative on this occasion , yet did members , forgetful that they called themselves representatives of the people , desort their post , and allow tlie honourable Mr . Campbell , son of " Plain John , " to insult an immense mass of the community , by refusing to listen to their request . Did not this plainly shew the necessity fnv
their organising , and by legal means effect such a change as would prevent any legislature from again offering suoh ft flagrant insult to an intelligent people ? ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Stullwood then took a eursory view of the proceedings at a recent Old . Bailey Session . He ( Mr . Stallwood ) disagreed -with-thit ) words' used" by Baron Aldersdn while passing sentence in tho case of Robert Pate , and commended George Thompson for bringing the matter before the house . Mr . Stallwood called on the people to hasten on the advent of political and social rights , and resumed his seat loudly applauded , . . ... ¦ . , ... . *
Mr . C . Utting , in seconding tho resolution ^ differrcd with some of his friend Stallwood ' s observations on judicial points , but most cordially coacurred with him on all the political points of his speech . ( Cheers . ) Mr . J . B . Lcno said , the resolution verv properly alluded to Ireland ,-and that nation \ vas in every sense grossly maltreated—grossly neglected . Ireland with all her resources , -was miserable and most unhappy , whilst by kind treatment , and wise legislation , her sons might be rendered intelligent , happy , and free . ( Loud cheers . ) England had destroyed her commerce , taken away tho means of employing her sons , and then called them indolent ( Hear , hear . ) Ho thought the treatment Mr . F . O'Connor received whilst introducing his motion
for the Charter , wa 3 not only an insult to that gentleman , but to tho whole of the working classes of the United Kingdom . ( Loud cheers . ) : Mr . D . O'Connor , aa an Irishman , thanked his English . brethren for mentioning the case of Ireland —condemned tho attempt to raiso a monument to the memory of the late Sir Ro bert Peel , but wns thankful it was not the working classes that were making the attempt—said that one of the speakers had condemned the Irish press , but there had been a brilliant exception—the Irishman—and he trusted to see that luminary re-appear in all its pristine radiance . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought Mr . Feargus O'Connor should have brought on his motion for the Charter at an earlier period of the session ; and
said , he knew that difficulties and dangers stood in the way of progress , but , nevertheless , he trusted they would persevere ; and success must ultimately crown their efforts , ( Cheers . ) . Mr . STALtwooD . said , after what had just fallen from Mr . D . O'Connor he thought it necessary to say a few words . . As regarded , the letters in the Morning Chronicle , thoy . had set tho wheels of thou » ht in motion , " artd no one could say when or where their evolutions'would stop ; and , hence , he most cordially tendered his thanks to Henry Mayhew . ( Cheering . ) As regarded ; . the . working tailors and otnera 8 * ooiations , nothoughtlhey were damaging those slop slaughtor-hou 9 t' 8—Moses and Co ., —and wore most certainly improving the sanitarv condition
of the workers ; whilst tho attention paid by Walter . CoouL-r , Gerald Massey , and J . B . Leno , topolitieal affairs wero proofs , that they had not lost the . aid of those good men by their opinions . ( Loud cheers . ) As regarded the notion for the Charter ; although he would have liked to have seen some motion relative to it submitted at an earlier period of the session , yet , he contended that the large masses of persons ' represented by Mr . IW-gus O'Connor , should have ensured him rospectful attention from a body of men oalling themselves tho representatives of the people , even though it had been the last davofthe . session , instead of the eleventh dav of July . ( Loud cheers . ) . . , ,. ' . ¦ Mr . D .. O ' Connor explained , ;
Mr . J . B . LKNosaid , as a member of the co-operative society , he must enter his protest against the charge that co-operation detracted from political movements ; co-operation was dosigned to give the labourer the whole product of his industry , and , ho contended , that the leaders in those socioties were the soul of political movements , and . that those societies themselves were one mass of democracy . . ( Loud cheers . ) . After a few words from Mr . Bates , expressive of a desire to have a publip discussion on co-operative societies , and in support of tho resolution ; Mr . Lkwis and Mr . Bbisck supported the resolution , which was put and carried unanimously . ' A voto of thanks was given to tho ohajrman , several members were enrolled , and the meeting dispersed . .. .
