The Curse Removed ; a Letter to the ManufaC twrers of Manchester on the State and Prospects of England . London : Effingham Wilson . Coming Events ; an Address to the Working Classes of England . London : George Tickers . These two -works are T > y the same author ; the latter is , indeed , a sequel to the former . They are evidently the production of a man of earnest soul , whose sympathies are with the ill-requited toiling classes of this country . That he has thought much upon his subject , and lias a clear idea of the causes which have produced the misery everywhere around us , may he gathered from the following passage in The Curse Removed : —
Sbr is it to be believed that the productions of this mighty power were ever intended to sustain an extravagant aristocracy and a spendthrift government , whilst rioting in luxury in the midst of an overwrought and a pauperised people . Certainly some higher and nobler purpose , "was designed by it There mnst be connected with it a higher problem , worthy of being wrought out by the great minds of the country . Let a right direction be given to this power of production . Let the capitalists employ the means thus put into their hands for the elevation of the people , and , as we shall afterwards see , they will secure themselves agaui 3 t evils , which are as yet scarcely apprehended .
The present state of the trade of this country proves that our manufactories , with all their proaactiou , are not able to provide employment for the working population . Every one perceives that there is not employment sufficient for them all , nor do the wages given afford comfortable subsistence for those who are employed . Oar immense productive power equal to the labour of six hundred millions of people is not sufficient to sustain a population short of thirty millions . This again proves , that a gift so precious and designed by the great Buler of the universe , to ameliorate the
condition of labour , to augment the comfort and promote the intelligence and happiness of the human familythe poor as well as the rich—has been hitherto misapplied . - , It is the very nature of the easting system to increase the wealth of the rich , and to make those who are poor still poorer , as well as to augment the number of the latter . Thus , it may be reasonably expected , that pauperism wfll continue to grow . It ia the natural tendency of the funding system , and would long ago have upset the Government of England , but for a particular circum-Btance which we shall presently have occasion to
notice . In the pages before ns , the author enters upon a uride field of inquiry . TPe find chapters on "War , Commerce , Emigration , the National Debt , and the Labour Question . In his "views of Commerce we entirely concur . We have often had occasion to show the evils to which we are rendered liable hy our reliance on foreign markets for the consumption of the commodities \? e fabricate and sell . Our author contends , and , to unprejudiced minds the thing will carry an obvious convic-- tion , that reciprocity must be the basis of our foreign trade—that imports and exports must he equivalent and commensurate with each
other , or , if either largely preponderate , gluts and fluctuations will inevitably succeed as consequences follow causes . He asks : — How can our power of consumption grow with a starving population ? What hope is there of an extended trade with a daUy augmenting pauperism ? Can you employ all the people , or can you aflord them such wages as to make them good consumers Cf foreign productions ? Jfo , you cannot . Till , however , you can do all this , farewell to a prosperous and wholesome state of things . Whatever neglect or indifference has been manifested to the labourer , in the past , must be compensated to him in the fnfcnr& . A new order of things must be established , in which the labourer shall be recognised as a man in full possession of all his rights .
The author of the Curse Removed is a Radical of the conservative stamp . He is none of yonr wild and ^ Vandal repudiatonists . The National Debt is admittedly an enormous and gigantic wrong ; in his opinion it is the modern curse under which the nation labours yet he would not repudiate it-he would have it paid --i . e ., equitably paid . In reply to the question , " What shall he done with the National Debt ? " he says : — To this question only one reply can given and that is—pat rr . This can be done now with greater facility than at any previous period since the war with France was concluded , and every year it remains unpaia the difficulty of payingitwill increase . In fact , if not done soon , it never can be donepeace ^ ably—therefore pay it .
It is right the holders of stock should be informed { hat the nation willnever pay £ 100 for £ 60 or £ 70 which they received a few years ago , of which the interest has been regularly , paid . Our proposal ia £ o lay a tax of seven and a half per cent on the capital debt of the nation , whether funded or un funded , and to limit the capital on which the charge Should be made fo £ 80 for every £ 100 of the 3 nlr cents ., £ 85 on the 3 £ and 31 per cenjts ., and £ KH } on the 5 per cents ., or , in other words , to rav 0 the whole debt at 7 i per cent , below the prices here 1 fixed . He next proceeds to point out the resources we have at our disposal for the purpose of

discharging this enormous , burden , of taxation . We cannot ; however , altogether go jwifiii him in his views , hut . must , nevertheless , aximit , he brings to bear upon the , questions opened up in his little work a vast amount of research . In the second pamphlet , which , is addressed more particularly to the .. working men of England , the writer tells us he was a corn law repealer , and still holds to the , same faith ; but the gentienienof Manchester , to whom his first work is addressed , will be very unthankful for the following passage in the latter work . We entreat our readers' attentive perusal of it . He asks , has the repeal of the Corn Laws
effected the object its prompters intended ? And thus replies to Ms own question : — - If we are right in the conclusion that their great , their chief object was to increase the demand for the produce of their machines , there can be no hesitation respecting the reply to be given to the question . It has not effected the object the manufacturers intended—they mnst soon experience & disappointment not very easv to be borne . They may be still hugging themselves in the expectation that their highly-excited hope 3 will be fully realised ; but it ia impossible . If they were not under the influence of a strong prejudice , they could not resist the evidence now presented to their minds ,
that the repeal of these corn laws , so far as it has gone , has done all for them it can do . In its very nature it was onl y fitted to reduce the price of human food , and this it has effected to its present full extent . There can be no doubt , that they also calculated on a reduction of the wages of labour , as a natural consequence arising out of the ability of the labourer to live upon less money . The repeal of the Ten Hours Bill is a proof that they are looking forward to some future pressure on the labourer . . In this they are right , and it cannot be far distant . Notwithstanding the animation in some of the manufacturing districts , the dark shadow of the future is beginning to spread itself over the country .
By looking narrowly into the state of consumption of various articles , it may be clearly seen that there is little real additional prosperity , and that the loudly talked of diminution of the number of paupers , is only in comparison with the years of soarcity , and arises chiefly , if not exclusively , ' from the reduction in the price of food , and not from an increased demand for labour . The gentlemen in Mincing-lane are surprised , and cannot comprehend the cause of the diminished consumption of sugar , It is true the . diminution of consumption in this direction may be accounted for by supposing that the pressure has reached a grade of the community somewhat above the labourer : and the fact that
upwards of eighty master bakers were recently , at the same time , taking the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' . Act , seems to confirm this notion ; but then the gentlemen in Mark-lane are in the same dilemma . They have discovered that there is a very great diminution in the consumption of bread and flour , especially in those districts of London in in which bread was largely consumed before . How is this to be accounted for ? The idea naturally occurred to us , that this could only arise out of the cheapness of the bread , giving them the power to consume a greater quantity of animal food ; but , on making inquiry in this direction , we discovered that
instead of an increase m the consumption of animal food , there was a decrease here also . Such are the reports made to us respecting London , and we know of ho reason for men stating anything but truth . Besides , on looking into the returns made to Parliament for the three first months of the present year , and comparing them with the three : first months of the previous year , we find the consumption of cocoa reduced from 922 . 0001 bs . to 724 , 0901 bs . Coffee , from 9 , 3 S 6 , 0001 bs . to 7 , 465 , 0001 b 3 . Tallow imported , from 313 , 003 cwts . to 194 . 000 cwts . ; and this diminished consumption of tallow coincident with a considerable export of candles and soap out of the materials entered for home consumption .
There is less reason for extracting from the pamphlet now before us , as its price places it within the reach of almost everybody ; hut a few remarks in his opening observations are so good and healthy , that we are tempted to transfer them to our columns : —• In questions connected with social progress the political economist will not overlook the aspirations of men of genius and imagination . Their power of fancy , and depth of perception frequently points to an end which reason finds it difficult to reach . Many
of them have sung of the " good time coming" in suchVway as to inspire us with hope in the darkest hour . Some have gone farther , calling upon us to remember " the days of darkness , for they shall be many , " and reminding us that it is only " through much tribulation we can enter the kingdom , " or , in other words , strongly impressing our mind with the fact , that it is only through toil and effort and Bufferin g that the affairs of society can be placed on a basis fitted to produce abundance , peace , and comfort to all .
Our author is a politician of the Chartist school , and warmly vindicates the political rights of the working classes . In this address he frequently refers to the Chartist body in terms of iust and merited approbation . We take leave of these , works , therefore , with a high respect for the mind which brought them forth , and strongly recommend them to our readers . They are exceedingly well written , are replete with facts of weightiest importance , and , altogether , are essentially useful and instructive in their character and tendencies .

give evidence against his master , and the . judges were ready to coincide' with Mr . Serjeant ' . Morton ! who appeared for the crown , and deolared Twyri ' s offence to be treason . The obnoxious book repeated the arguments ; often urged during the Commonwealth , "that the execution of judgment anil justice is as well the people ' s ha tho magistrate ' s duty ; and , if the magistrates pervert judgment , the people are bound by the law of God to execute judgment without them , and upon them . ' . ' In his defence , Twyn said , he had certainly printed the sheets ; he
"thought it was mettlesome stuff , but knew no hurt in it ; " that the copy had been brought him by one Calvert ' s maid-Bervant , and that he got forty shillings by-printing it . He pleaded , moreover , in excuse , that he was poor , and had a family dependent on his labour for their bread . Such replies were vain , and the jury found him Guilty . "I humbly beg mercy , " cried Twyn , when this terrible word was pronounced . "I humbly beg mercy ; I am a poor man , and have three small childron ; I never road a word of it . "
"I'll tell you what you shall do , " responded the Chief Justice Hyde , to whom " this plea of clemency was addressed , " ask mercy of them that can give it : that is , of God and the King . " "I humbly beseech you'to intercede with his Majesty for mercy , '' piteously exclaimed the condemned printer , : " Tie him up , executioner , " was the only reply ; and Hyde proceeded to pronounce sentence . To read this sentence in the record of the trial makes the blood run cold . "I speak it from my soul , " said this sycophant Chief Justice . "I think we have the greatest happiness in the world in enjoying what we do under so gracious and good a King "
( this was spoken of Charles the Second , be it remembered ); " yet you , Twyn , in the rancour of your heart thus to abuse him , deserve no mercy !" After some further expressions of loyalty , and a declaration that it was high time an example should be made to deter those nho would avow the killing of kings , he ordered that Twyn should be drawn upon a hurdle to the place of execution ; that he he hanged by the neck , and , being alive , that he should be cut down , and that his body bo mutilated in a way which decency now forbids the very mention of ; that his entrails should afterwards be taken out , " and you still living , the ' same to be burnt before your eyes ; your head to be cut off , and your head and quarters to be disposed of , at the pleasure
of the King ' s Majesty . " . " I humbly beseech your Lordship , " again cried Twyn in his agony , •• to remember my condition , and intercede for me . "I would not intercede , " replied sanguinary Judge Hyde , in the cruelty of his heart , " for my own father in this case , if he were alive . "' And the unhappy printer was led back into Newgate , only to leave it for Tyburn , where the sentence was soon afterwards carried out ; his head and the quarters of his body being set up to fester arid to rot , " on Ludgate , Aldersgate , and the other gates of the city . " Mr . Hunt prefaces this anecdote by a very apposite and important general remark , with which as the most important moral of a history of the newspaper , we conclude : —
"In the index to the statutes at large , under the heading ' Printers and the Printing Press , the reader is directed to ' see seditious societies . ' A fine comment this on the character of our law-makers . They do not legislate to help the press in the good it might effect , but only make laws to cripple it when a government finds its interference inconvenient . "

A Qukkr Bird . —An Irishman , who , among other sins of ignorance that he was guilty of , had never seen an egg , having stumbled one day upon a hen ' s nest in the bushes , in which there was a warm , fresh , newly-laid egg , took it up carefully in his hand , and after a very curious inspection , made the following comment : —" . Ochohe ! an yer a fine child iv yer mother born ; but the divil a bit do you favour yer mother , for yer white all over . Be jabers ! and yer the queerest bird I ever saw , for ye have naither head , legs , nor tail , at all at all !" An Enemy to the Undertakers . —A citizen of
Stockton , now no more left behind in his will the following instructions : — "My particular wish is that there be no funeral pomp at my burial , but that those who follow me to my grave be dressed in their ordinary manner . No hat bands , or crape , or plumes , or black gloves , nor any needless display of white handkerchiefs . That I may be conveyed simply to my last resting place , there to sleep , ' until the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised . ' I also desire that my widow may not wear' widows' weeds , ' or other outward displays of mourning , which . tendmore to attract notice from the living , than show respect for the dead . "

His life is the best proof of the earnestness with , which he has devoted his genius and his great abilities to the cause of the people , and his Historic Pages cannot he too widely circulated .

TO A BEE , STRAYEJG IS LONDON STREETS Beturn , return ! thy happy hum Chords ill with noises such as meet thee here ; Or ^ -must thou stay—for Pity's sake be dumb , And cause not Misery another tear . By reminiscence sad of village home—Of youth ' s gay deeds and dreams!—the flowers , Springing so lovely , from their native loam , Are thy fit friends : the Boura And bitters of the world best nourish here .
Beturn , return ! why circle through the smoke , Mid which men struggle onward , still to death ? The springing corn , the patriarchal oak , The merry birds , the dreamy cows—whose breath Here finds no fragrant perfume parallel—The free , gay wind , the soaring lark , All woo th « e back ! To buy and sell— . To live and die—gold-slaves—is here the dark Inturlty of man : nought else Is dear ! Return ! oh , seek again your pleasant hive , "Within the hollow trunk of some old tree , "Where bounteons plenty is for ye who strive In happy toil ; where , for covmcsirr , All work in peace ; where selfish hate Has never ventured ; Oh , that man might see In Competition , fierce , hisfolly great , And learn true wisdom of the humble bee , Thus , from their wretchedness , his race to rear !

n » . ; .. . - . ADELPHI . A farce called The School for Tigers was brought out on Monday with the most unequivocal success . It is a kind of High Life Below Stairs , adapted to modern times , although the action takes place , not in a kitchen , but at the back of a cigar-shop . Mr . Panels ( Mr . Wri g ht ) , an ex-coachman , has not only opened business in the Havannah line , but devotes himself to the instruction of "tigers" in the peculiar duties of their profession , and allows their studies to be enlivened by an occasional " shilling hop , " to which the maid servants of the neighbourhood are invited . The Tierer-clasa is reeularly
exhibited , and the answers given by the pupils have all more or Ies 3 a satirical reference to the stato of society to which "tigers" owe their being . One of them ( Mis 3 Woolgar ) , who has been advanced somewhat suddenly into tigerism from the condition of an errand-boy , is quizzed by his companions for the rusticity of his manners ; but in the end hetakeB a noble revenge by helping two of his persecutors out of aecrape in which they are involved on account of their masters being found guilty of forgery . This niece , which is by Mr . Ifark Lemon , is very smartly written , and the aeademical scene is novel and striking . It has also the advanta ge of being acted to perfection in the prinr inal characters . Mr . Wright , as the ex-coachman , y ^ mSf ^ mmQ ( mm ^ m '' im ''

HAYMARKET . On Monday evening Mr . Maoready commenced his series of farewell performances before his final retirement from the stage . It will be remembered that Mr . Macready was to have completed his farewell engagement last season , but that the concluding portion of it was necessarily deferred in consequence of the state of his health . This obstaole being now happily removed by his restoration to his wonted strength , these performances are now resumed , and are to proceed strictly in accordance with the arrangements originally made , and will comprise all the leading characters which have been more particularly associated with his dramatic career . A crowded audience , comprising a host of
individuals , distinguished in literature and art , was assembled to welcome our great actor on this occasion ; and when he appeared they gave vent to their feelings in reiterated peals of applause . He looked as little as possible like a man on the eve of retiring from the stage . He had the aspect of health , his movements were active and buoyant , and we have never Been him act with more fire and vigour . As to his representation of Macbeth , what can be said that has not been said a thousand times already ? It is , we have always thought , his master-piece , combining in a remarkable degree the inspirations of geniu 3 with the results of close study and deep reflection . It is the most finished work of art which the English stage has exhibited for many years ; and it may be many a year before it shall exhibit such another . Mrs . Warner was
the Lady Macbeth . This excellent actress was received , after her long absence from the stage , in a manner due to her talents and oharacter . She has lost nothing of her majestic beauty , and she sustained the character with her wonted power and grandeur . The parts of Macduff and Banquo were well performed by Mr . Davenport and Mr . Howe ; and the play as a whole was got up and acted in a very satisfactory manner .

The Fourth Estate : Contributions towards a History of 2 fewspaperst and of the Liberty of the Press . By F . K . Htjxt . London : Bogue . Mr . Htxst has here contributed some valuable materials towards a complete history of at least the English , newspaper . He has collected from printed sources a large amount of information respecting the earliest English " news-hooks . " as the newspapers were at first called ; has had access to manuscript documents respecting the expenses and profits of journalism in the days of Junius's Woodfall ; and contributes much that is curious , from conversations and professional experience , of the machinery , expenses , and returns of the daily newspapers of our own time .
Interspersed with these materials are a number of remarks illustrative of , or associated with , newspaper literature ; accounts of the early and harsh censorships of the press ; a sketch of the struggle on the part of the newspapers by which the right to report the proceedings in parliament was de facto established ; notices illustrative of the successive judicial decisions by which our law ef libel has been brought into its present form ; and anecdotes of men of hig h literary repute who have occasionally or permanently been associated with the press .
"With the Bufferings of the Puritans , who were the first to turn a periodical or quasiperiodical press to much , account , the reading public is pretty familiar ; but the savage spirit with which newspapers were sought to he suppressed between the eras of the Restoration and the Revolution of 1688 is probably under-estimated . The following account of the manner in which an obnoxious journalist was dealt with in the days of Popish and meal-tab plots may make their successors of the eighteenth century thankful for the change that has come over the minds of men .
Under the new law enforcing the censorship L'Kstrange , the journalist , became the chief executive officer ; and , judging by facts that are on record , a scholar and a man of proper feelings must often have blushed for his new occupation . The Star Chamber was gone beyond revival , and the Old Bailey became the court where sinners against the press laws were arraigned . The new statute soon captured a few victims , and a Tyburn audience was assembled to witness the execution of a troublesome printer . it __ T _ . . niht in 163 the Licenser

what happened , Wickham descnDea now n « « . « Mr .

Efforts had been made to destroy the offeiiding sheets ; the type had been broken up , and a- portion of the publications had been cast into the next house . Enough , however , was found to support a charge . Twyn ' a apprentice was put into tho witness box ; to
