He maintained that the present prosperity was only temporary : that from evident causes , which ho pointed out , a reaction was inevitable , and that , so long as the great majority of the people were compelled to depend , almost exclusively , upon manufacturers for employment , destitution , misery , and crime would increase . He pointed to the land as a sure
rt-medy for the present anomalous state of things , and dwelt upon the necessity for union amongst the working classes , so as to obtain political power , and enable them to free the land from the unjust restrictions which hud led to , and perpetuated its possession in the hands of a few individuals .

MR . KYDD'S LECTURE AT NOTTINGHAM . Mr . Kydd delivered » lecture in the Town Hall , on the 11 th inst ., on "Revolutions , thoir' causes and effects . " On the motion of Mr . Lee , seconded by Mr . Oldknow , Mr . James Sweet was unanimously called upon to preside : In commencing , the lecturer said , whilst he might have occasion to refer to certain circumstances in tho history of nations , he should only allude to them with a view of elucidating a general question of importance ; but he had no " desire to prop up any party at the expense of truth , and no wish to have the sentiments he uttered valued beyond the calm and deliberate judgment that intelligent and reasoning men might think them / north . Great events gave
rise to great thoughts , and tended to'develope great characters . Men of the most advanced minds—men of the greatest experience—were capable , in the midst of civil commotion and trouble , and in all turmoil , to judge fairly of causes and effects ' . The niost important revolution which history had'recorded was , in his opinion , the great French revolution of 1789 . Modern revolutionary history was dated from that great revolution ; arid if they wished to understand the causes of that revolution , they must look for them far back in French history ; they must trace the troubled waters to the fountain head , and they might then discover why it was that the great French revolution of 1789 had been so fertile a subject of general discussion , arid why men
of extraordinary ability had entertained and promulgated opinions directly opposed to each other , as to the cause and effects , and the worth or worthlessness of such revolutions . France , like all other European , nations , had in her time been feudal in her theory of government and institutions , and feudal in her social institutions . The general dcvelopemenfc of industry in France gave rise , inevitably , to a chango of circumstances , that demanded at tho hands of government and the leaders of tho people , important changes in her laws and institutions . France , in the reign of Louis the Eleventh , was purely feudal—France , in the reign of Louis the Fourteenth , though not feudal in the spirit and genius of her people , was eminently
despotic in the theory and tendency of her government . Louis the Fourteenth governed France as with a rod of iron ; his will was law , the nobility bowed to his influence , and supported and honoured hi 3 throne . During the reign , of Louis tho Fourteenth , France might be socially described thus two-thirds of the landed property were owned by the nobility ; one-third of the landed property was owned by peasant proprietors ; the nobility paiil but comparatively few taxes , and the great weight of taxation fell mainly on the shoulders of the laborious and" industrious peasantry and farmers . The game-laws , too , were ' a grievous source of trouble ; herds of wild boars and wild hares , roamed at large ; the farmer was not allowed to cut
his grass in the hay season without the consent of his landlord , for fear he should destroy partridges ' eggs |; and it was not an unfrequent occurrence in France , for the peasant-farmer , having sowed seed in spring time , with a hope of . reaping . in harvest , to discover that his year ' s industry had been ruined , that his wheat had been trampled down , that his oats had been eaten up , and that , instead of having a provision for the long and dreary months of winter , he had been despoiled of the wherewith to sustain his family , to pay his liabilities , and to keep himself in the " position' of society to which he thought he had an indisputable claim . Oppression was one groat source of revolution , ( Hear , hear ;) Man was not naturally a revolutionist ; the farmer
did not willingly leave his fields and lay aside the sickle to wield the broad sword and study military tactics . Oppression begot revolution ; injustice , on the part of the rich , towards tho poor , was one of the leading causes , of revolution . ( Hear , hear : ) Duties long neglected gave rise to social evils that every day augmented , that every day increased , ; and these begot iii their turn ,-other social , other moral , and other political " evils , until men , who ought to exist in the natural relation of friends , met each other in the hostile relation of enemies : ; and if the rich men of any country— -whether it were France , whether it were England , whether it wero Hungary , whether it were . Rome , or whether it were Prussia—desired to-avoid revolution , they
should learn that property had its . duties as well as its rights . Demagogues did not' aloue mako revolutions ; large meetings did not alone make revolutions ; they were only tho effects springing from a deep-rooted and latent cause ; and governments would act wisely , if they looked to the evil at its source , rather than attempt to coerce it in its strength ; they would act more wisely , if , instead of trusting to gaols , and dungeons , and soldiers , for the groundwork of thoir , power , they taught the rich' men of the state to perform their duty towards their fellow-men , and particularly that all property was held in trust , that no . man lived for himself alone —( cheorsj—ftiid that thoro was u link indestructible , which never could bo annihilated , that bound the human familv together as one vast
deeprooted brotherhood ; and if men could not in virtue , and in virtuous action , uphold their influence , a question of life and death would teach' that reality which reason had forgotten . ( Applause . )—[ At the finish of this sentence the well-known voice . of a violent Red Republican , named Harrison , exolaimed to the representatives of tho press , " Report that ., if you don't anything elso . " ] -Tho lecturer , on re siiming , apologised for digressing a moment , but he wished to observe , that he had never had occasion to complain of the press of this country . On many occasions he had been reported more fully than speakers whoso social iufluenco was much higher than his own ; and he ventured to say , that if there were an indecency more improper than . another-r-if there were an ignorance more manifest than another —if there wore a weakness of ihlollect more
remarkable than another—it was that . ; lmpatienco which begot rudeness , whether it were in a child of fifteen , or in a grey haired man of sixty . ( Applause . ) Having , alluded to the division in the French church , caused by tho unequal . division of its property , as another cause of the great revolution of 1789 , tho lecturer briefly alluded to the reign of Louis the Fifteenth , who , he said ^ alt hough called " The Grand Monarch , " , was more conspicuous for his vices than his virtues . At his death Louis the Sixteenth ascended , the . throno . of iVance , under circumstances which led the peoplo of that country to expect great things from him . He was in the bloom of youth , and married to a princess of extraoi'dinary beauty , and endowed with tine powers
of mind ; but , unfortunately , Marie Antoinette had been taught , from her cradle , that she was born to rule . The lecturer . briefly , narrated the events which led the French people first to distrust their king , and afterwards to depose him , and reinstate the Bourbons . The king ( said the speaker ) was beheaded , not for . his crimes ; but he wa 3 a , sacrifice to misgoverned- ages . Marie Antoinette was beheaded , not because of any strong propensity to evil in her own . nature , ' but because she had been mif taught as regarded the value of government , and the power of a prince . The lecturer havvng ,.. in glancing over tho historical records of France , referred to tbe restoration of the- Bourbon , family , and the elevation of L ' ciuis Philippe to tlie throne , his deposition ; and the reign ot ; Napoleon , his dethronement ; and the restoration of Louis Philippe , nnd lastly , his fall , and the establishment of a
liepublic—a government , however , having . only the ri ' a ' ine ' of Republic , for the rule of Napoloon Buonaparte , the President of the Republic , was oven more despotic than the reign of ; tho Fronoh kings . The speaker contrasted the French revolutions , —which were progressive—with tho English , revolution , which was not caused by the agitation of new theories , but was caused by the-wish of ; the people to return to tbo usages of ancient times . The Great English Revolution of 1088 , was not a revolution of class against class , of sect against sect , ' . ' of artisans in opposition to' merchants , and manufacturers ; but it , was a revolution against despotism , and a cabal of , Jesuits on the one . hand , and narrowminded prejudice of a king on the . other . Speaking of tho rights of man—Mr . Kydd said , they did not ask for equality of property , but they did ask for a duo distribution of wealth ; they de «

r oandedthat the rights of all should he protected . Alluding to' the ; alleged ¦ prosperity : of . England he veniarted , that they . had been told that because the Corn Laws had been repealed tho prosperity of the country had greatly increased . He asked , where wero tho proofs of : this prosperity ? Pauperism was said to ; b ' c so much less last year ; than tho year before . But how much more was . lt now that in tho year 1839 ? Nearly one million and a half . Yes ; the cost of maintaining the poorer portion of the population of the United Kingdon was nearly a million and a half more than it was in 1839 ; yet during the lapse of these ten years the increase of the railway property of the country had been incalculable , and during the lapse of these ten years
the industry of the country had been developed to an amazing extent ; but the condition . of the workin" classes had not been proportionally improved . ' ( ifear , hear , ) It was a miserable state of national solveney that did not give , with increased advantages , increased comforts and privileges to the people . ( Qheers . ) The rich had increased in their luxuries , and tho poor in their wants . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir Charles Wood , in a recent speech had said , sums incalculable had , been spent in railways , and had increased our physical power as a nation ; that the wealth of the country had ; rapidly increased , and taxation had been ; nominally reduced ; but the increase of plenty had not been in the same proportion to the poor as it had been to tho rich . This crab-like . improvement then had given rise to two extremes : the extreme of wealth and luxury on the one hand , and of penury , and poverty

—Notwithstanding the recent pacificatory measures in Congress between the north and tho south , the flame of dissatisfaction and disunion still blazes in the latter region . There is a new and strange movement . in Georgia , where the Governor , Mr . Town , has called it State convention—the delegates to be elected November 25 th , and the convention to meet December 10 th . The Govenor says in his proclamation : — " Your institutions are in jeopardy , your feelings wantonly outraged , your social organisation deridod , your honour deeply . wounded , and the Federal Constitution violated by a series of aggravated measures all tending to the consummation of one object —• the abolition of slavofy . ' .
. More than one of tho South Carolina papers exhort Georgia to take the lead in disunion , adding that " . South Carolina will follow her example . " Governor Quitman has convened the Legislature of Mississippi for the 20 th October next with a view to advance the peculiar policy now spreading at the south . , .. ¦ .-., ¦ The Southern Press ( a southern organ at Washington ) declares " that the point of endurance is passed —the destiny of the south'is decided—she will not submit . " South Carolina , which is the hotbed of disunion , will of course call a convention . Thus three States are about to be agitated , but it may be predicted that there will be much sound and fury , signifying nothing .

Steam-Boat Explosion and Loss of Life at Loxdon BniDaE . —On Thursday afternoon , ' between four and five o ' clock , a terrible accident happened on board the screw steam-boat known as the Erin ' s ( Jueen , lying off Cotton ' s wharf , London-bridge , by which the head engineer was instantaneously killed , and the lives of two or three others greatly jeopardised . The vessel , which belongs to Messrs . Henderson , Oglcbie i and Co ., of London and Belfast , arrived in the river on Tuesday last , and after discharging at : the above wharf , she was reladen with her return cargo . On Thursday evening , at five o'clock the hour appointed for tho steanier . 'to start , the crew were busily engaged . in getting the ¦ steam up . Whilst so employed it was perceived that one
of the screws ef the '' sluteh hole " was rather loose , when John Ferguson , the . engineer , and two other men , proceeded into the engine room , for the purpose of repairing the defect . The . unfortunate engineer having desired one of the stokers to- hold a ight for him , lie was in the act of screwing up the bolt , when it broke , and almost instantaneously the steam and boiling water rushed out with suuh force as to blow the poor fellow as far aft as the bottom of the cal > in deck . The man who was standing at his elbow with the lamp , although struck on the arm by the iron bolt , managed to rush up stairs , as did also another of the crew , and , strange as it may seem , neither received the slightest personal injury . Ferguson , the engineer , on tho contrary , was quickly covered with boiling water , and , owing to the clouds . of steam , some time elapsed before any
one could descend to render the least assistance . At length Captain . Silly and several of-bis crew descended , when they beheld the unfortunate man lying on the cfloor of the engino room , aq scalded that . when touched his flesh peeled from his body . A medical men was quickly in attendance , who pronounced life quite extinct . Tho deceased has eft a widow and two children . On Friday , Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at the Vestry-hall . Hqraleydown , on the body . No new facts were elicited , and the jury returned the'following verdict : — " That the deceased was accidentally killed through using a . spanner to turn tho screw of the slutoh hole door , and recommended that the doors whenever practicable should be placed inside , to prevent a similar casualty from occurring .

Shocking Colliery Accident . —Fourteen Lives Lost . —Manchester , Oct . - 10 . —Intelligence reached hero to-tlay of a : serious and very shocking accident at a coal mine , in ; Oldham , but I have not had time to ascertain the exact dotatls . The first reports were that lightning had ignited the oarbu- ' . retted hydrogen gas in the mines during a thunder storm yesterday ,: and caused . antexplosion ,-. which had resulted in the death of a great number of the colliers . Another account , whioh seems morepro-! bablo , is that some colliers were iat > work in one of the . b : iys ofthe pit , lighted by a patent Davy safety lamp , and that a piece of coal they bad separated 'from the roof fell on . the top of the lamp , ' destroyiing the gauze which coverbd it or'forms the . upper portion , and that theilight being , thus leftexposed tired the mino . It appears , however , that a fearful explosion took place , and that tho fire blazed so 7
^ fiercely for some time that the workmencould not be set at ¦ liberty . The mino belongs toMr . Butter-\ vorth , of Oldham / and isneair the centre of tho town . The reports of tho number , of personsi killed vary—one being that fourteen dead- bodies had-been taken out , up to four o ' clock- this morning , Another statement is that eleven dead bodies have been taken , from the mine , and that ten other colliers have been taken out so burnt and exhausted , that it is not likely they-will survive many hours . The mine is said to have been sunk two years , and to be imperfectly ventilated , no air pit having been sunk parallel with tho shaft . : •• .. ¦¦ Dhkadful Accident by Machinery .. —A shocking accident by machinery has beon received at the General Hospital , Bristol .

The Great Fire in Mark-Lane . —Three weeks had on Friday morning elapsed from the time the disastrous fire in Mark-lane broke out , and even at seven'o ' clock in the evening a great body of flame remained in various parts ofthe ruins , so much so that the firemen were obliged to be actively engaged in pouring water- upon them . In' some places the fire was still ten feet deep . ' ¦ Thirty men have been daily employed , under the direction of Mr . Toplis , his assistant , and Mr . Mackay , one of the engineers of the Fire Brigade , in removing salvage from the ruins . Up to Friday evening they had recovered about six tons of Italian hemp , nearly twenty tons of ironwork , and soldiers' muskets and sabres . They also recovered about five
tons weight of buffalo horns , 300 bags of turmeric , two tons of madder , one ton of chicory , twenty tons of jute , two tons of horse-hair , about' - £ 1 , 000 worth of pigs ' -bristles , and an immense quantity of cloth and soldiers' clothing . ; It is expected that it will take at the least another fortnight to get the remainder of the salvage out . The ruins at the present time present a singular appearance , for owing to vast qunatites of shellac having • become melted and afterwards set together , the men are unable to break it , and during the day they work completely under , it . The army accoutrements that have been extricated are nearly all destroyed ; and , the splendid Oriental vases , sent as presents by Indian officers to their friends . in England , have all been melted . There are still known to be 100 pipes of oil in tho ruins , forty cases of castor oil . and six .
tons of loaf sugar . * The bristles known to bo in tlie premises when the fire occurred were worth £ 2 , 000 . The surveyors to the fire offices anticipate getting about three times as much property from the ruins as they have , yet recovered . ,. Fibe at IsLisoTON . —On Friday morning , between four , and five o ' clock , considerable alarm- , was excited in the neighbourhood of Gibson-square , Islington , by the discovery of a fire on the premises of a gentleman , named Lee , residing , at No . 10 , Milnerstreet . Mr . Lee was aroused by the smoke and crackling of . ; burning timber . He hastened up stairs and alarmed tho family , and they fortunately , but with great difficulty , ; escaped over the roof of the house . Although there was a good supply of water obtained , the fire could . no t be extinguished until the premises were burnt out , and considerable damage was done to the adjoining housse .

Francis W . . Westmaoott , of'No . 14 , South Audley-streefc , deposed that on Saturday evening he and his mother were coming out of the Exhibition of the Overland Mail in Regent-street , when he saw the prisoner put his hand into his mother's pocket , find take out her purEe , with which he ran off . Witness pursued him into Regent-street , when he 3 aw tho prisoner throw the purse away . A constable stopped the prisoner until witness came up , when he guve him in charge . —Mrs .

SOUTHWARD . —An " Infernal Machine ;?'Mr . East , a morocco leather manufacturer , Nos . 214 , and 215 , llermondsoy-street , accompanied by Mr . Superintendent Haynes , M division , waited on Mr . A'Beckott for the purpose of apprising him of a diabolical attempt to mutilate or otherwise injure tlie son of the former gentleman b y means of an oval wooden box filled with combustible materials , and -sent- through the Post-office . —Mr . East said that while he and his son , a young , man about twenty-two years of age , were in the countinghouse , theforeman brought in an oval box made of wood , addressed to Mr . Frederick East , with two shillings' worth of postage stamps on the lid of it . The foreman in handing the box over to applicant ' s
son shook it , and made the remark that it sounded as if it was filled with sand . Applicant ' s son surveyed . itlor some time and then took out his knife with the view of prizing up the lid , when applicant advised him to be cautious in' the operation , and this caution was ^ rendered t he more necessary , as on the lid boing partially raised a small quantity of gunpowder fell on the desk . Water was now poured through the aperture , so as to neutralise the effects of any combustible ingredient which it might contain , and the lid having been removed without danger , the inside of tho box , which might well be termed an " infernal machine , " was exposed to view . It contained nearly a pound of the finest gunpowder , with irregular pieces of lead , and just underneath the lid were a number of lucifer matches
and sand paper , placed in . such a position that the last violence used in prizing up the top of the box must lead to an explosion . Upon this discovery applicant lost . no time in communicating the circumstance to Mr , Haynes , the superintendent of the M division . The chief object he now had in view in attending at this court was to describe the particulars , so that they might obtaiu publicity through the medium of the press , and put people on their guard . —Mr . Superintendent Haynes said that upon receiving theabove information he despatched a policeman to the Post-offiee ; in order to ascertain if the person who had left tho box there could bo
identified . The reply , however , was that the box was deposited there in the usual way amongst thousands of other letters and parcels , and that the person who left it was not known or even seen byany of ; those employed in that particular department . Some suspicion attached to a person whose name at present it was necessary not to divulge , and that he ( the superintendent ) was still following up tho investigation , to discover , if possible , tho real offender .

would not be in a position to press this case any further ; but at all events he would , ask the alderman to grant him a hearing at , a ; future day , when he would bring up the female who accompanied his wife , who would prove that his wife never accosted any gentleman oh . tho evening in question . —Alderman Hooper said that he would be happy to give him a hearingi ' . at " any . time ^ However , in common fairness to the late prisoner , ho thought it proper to ' observe that she . left' this court without the slightest stain upon her . character ^ .., ' TliA ' MES . —Sempstress ' s WaqesI—Roaina Herbert , a you ' n ^ .

The . tendency of such a proceeding would undoubtedly be to give encouragement to breaches of the law . There are hundreds of persons in this neighbourhood who suffer as much , perhaps more than this person , and yet who struggle throu ^ their difficulties without a violation of the law , and who , if they could be found out , would- be mora deserving objects of bounty and com passion , J hope . my remarks , if they are worth anything will reach those benevolent persons .

THE LATE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT OLDHAM .
The inquest on the sixteen colliers killed a { Oldham , on the 10 th inst ., at a mine called tha Bent Grange Colliery , took place on Wednesday . It will be remembered that these men were dea . troyed by' an explosion of foul air in one of the levels ir the mine ,-caused by a fall of earth from theroof upon a safety Limp , which broke away the gauzework , and thus brought the flame in cou « tact with the inflammable gas collected , in tha workings . . The inquest was held before Mr . Dearden and fourteen jurors . ; '
From the evidence given , it appeared that thera was no air shaft in connexion with the mine , ' but that Mr . Butterworth was sinking one , and had reached about sixty yards in depth . When the air ¦ was bad in the mine the ventilation -was assisted by pouring water down the back of the " brattishlng . " There was no danger in the mine which was not shared for days together by Mr . Butter worth . The jury * found a verdict of " Accidental death . "
