set depar- , : o press on God-like effort ? to rai ^ e scd biiaS the fallen children of hunr-iniiy . We are glad to find that , in almost every pls . ee , there is a marked bearing in the public mind toward ? the reception and g-neral diaasion of abstinence principles . The article headed ^ " Drunkenness not the vice of the vni ^ ar only , " is also woniiT of the serious attention of all the respectable pornon of society . We also g ladly direct the DOtke of our readers to " The -. vine quesiion , " and

There are several other articles well worthy of atlenuon . We find in this number some good poetry . The lines on the re-hearsai of the bone = of Napoleon , contain so much sterling gold that we have great pleasure in transferring them to our columns : —

Amid the visions of the night , I gased upon a burning mount , That posred forth rtreama at lava bright , JLnd flames , aa twere ft Eery fount , In ghastly heaps lay , all around , Ths forms of dead and dying men ; While blackened rains strewed tbe ground . Lo ! suddenly twu quenched , and , then , What think ye did the sufferers ? Why , Btr&ight became this mountain ' s worshippers AJid yet no Ravages were these , No dwellers in the southern isles ; No rottners trader bsniaa b « es .
Where Pagan rites the scene denies : They -worship senseless stocks and stones . To nobler' objects Christians bow ; Such deem they blood-stained eonqnerors' bones—Idiots witb crowns npon their brow—And knaves that are to Mammon sold , . With nothing sterling , save it be their gold ' Tes , bear him to the Place Fendome ! Beside that brazen pillar tall ; And when the strangers wondering come To see ye kneeling , one and all Unto to their questioning reply" A quenched volcan * lyeth here ; An eagle that no more shall fly ¦ To fill the world with \ ro and fear ; And unto these we homage pay , Because 'tis glorious to devastate and slay !"
Then boast of kingdoms overturned , Of Jena , and of Austerlitz ; Of cities in the red flames burned ; And say , be sure , it -well befits An humble follower of Him For us upon the Cross who died , Through seas of human blood to swim , With mad Ambition for a guide ; That thonghts of justice , mercy , love , Should never interfere * w& purposes to move When will that light , which , long ttgo , First shone on this benighted earth , So penetrate mch spot below
That men shall knovr a second birth : Beholding things thf-y see not now , For dim and filmed is their vision ; Wben , when will all the millions bow To that which truly is Elysian—Pure , holy , and abore decay ? Grant , Lord , the co » ing of that elorions day

LEE'S PENNY FORGET-ME-NOT ; a Book for all Seasons , and a Holiday Offering for Youth of both Seses . Cleave , London . 1 U 41 . This is one of the cheapest and best presents for youth which we h&ve yet seen , and we cordially hope that the reading public wil ] evince their conviction of the necessity of providing for the combined amusement and instruction of the young , by affording to the proprietor the support which his exertions to secure this desirable object entitles him to expect . The pieces selected are extremely
diversified in tneir tono and caaracter . Some are pave , and some are gay . One story is calculated to instruct , and . another to amuse . The work is indeed calcnla ed for all times , and likely to be a favourite at every sitson . It is equally fitted to be the companion of a country raabJe , or to add to the diversified pleasures of a social party round a winter ^ evening fire . We give , as a specimen of the contents , a sweet rural poem , entitled " The Village Wedding , " which , we think , will secure ihe approbation of our readers : —
THE TILLAGE WEDDING . See ! the venerable white robed Priest , With hallow'd rites hath boun < l the happy paii In Facred union ! See the blushing bride Advancing , now her fingers new acquest , The matron honour of tbe ring surveys ; >" ow on the delegated'youth rtflects The glance oblique , not ill-returned : for he , "Wida & > £ , % t eye devouring all her eharms .
Rapt on foEcl fancy ' s wings , with sweet foretaste Anticipates tacl : fuiure joy . Jots pure Without alloy ; no : purchased at the price Of imnx-srice ; nor with the poisonous sting Of dire reiuerse attended . Hard in han-i . Home to their little cot , that decent smiles , The fcou ^ ic biithe prucetd ; the village train Of nymphs and stains , a numer . jui throng attend ; For idly gr ^ zc > there the vacant ox , The weeii-iio'jk rtais , nor sounds the lusty flail .
The work is embellished with several prett } ' engraviDgs , and is neatly done up for & Christmas present . We cordially wish it success . LAICUS UNMASKED , A POEM ; being a reply to the ^ ross misrepresentations and unfounded allegations of Lajci's , the great centenarian , in winch is explained the principles and practife of Total and Entire Abstinence , by I / avid Soss . Heywood , . Manchester . This little work is evidently the production of a mind deeply impressed with the sad effects of habits of intemperance , and with the beauty and excellence
of total abstinence . The sentiments are good ; but the aatiior evidently writes in haste , and without that regard to style which is indispensable to every one vrbo vrishes to write well . On re-writing his poem fur a second edition , he will , we hope , see the necessity oi remodeling some of ihe expressions so as to give to his ideas a more easy snd natural flow . By a little care and attention to this matter , his labours will be rendered more acceptable to the puLiic , and , consequently , more useful to the cause he has at heari . We subjoin the following beautiful apostrophe io water as a specimen : —
"All hail , bright water , offspring of the sea , Daughter of ocean , boundless , ever free . ' "Whose rapid livers , rushing to the main In silver streamlets , fructiij- the plain . Thaa , sj a beveraee , our regard ahouldst claim , Who ne'er the che « k of innccence did shame-, Each lovely flower that rears its beauteous head , By thee , in pearly drops , is ever fed . Of lice bereft , no charms couid they impart , Yield ought of fragrance , or delight the heart , >" or spotle&s lily c ' . othe the hills with pride , Nor gulden daisy crown Hbe mountain side ; TL . e gra-ssy glacie , the oak , majestic tree , Would y = risb ail , blest water , but foi thee .

All the pieces are no * , alike excellent , but all breathe a spir . t bi zivri ; pari'y . aud SiiVtraihavu the additional merit oi titiu ^ iirst-ra ' . e puerical com positions . Here is a icem o : exquisite beauty , from iiis pen of A . A . Watts : —
MEET ME AT SUNSET . Meet me at sunset , the hour we love best , Ere day ' s las : crimson blushes have died in the west , When the shadowless ether is blue as thine eye , Aid tie breize is as balmy and soft as tiiv sigh ; When gi : nti-liks forms lengthen fast o'er the ground From tht- motionless mill and the linden trees ruiind ; When the stillness below , Xae HiiM radiance above , Sofilv sinfc on the heart , and attune it to love .
Meet me at suns . t—oh ! meet ma ones more , ¦>' eath the wide-spreading thorn where you met me of yore , When our hearu were as calm as the broad summer sea That lay gl-. aining before us , bright , boundless and free ; And with hand cl&sp'd in hand , we sat trance-bound ; and detm'd That life vrcmH be ever the thing it then Beeni'S . The tre * w iten planted , green record . ' livea on , But the hopes that grew with it are laded and gone .
Meet me at suuset , beloved ! as of old—When the boa » ks of tee chestnut ar-j waving in gold ; When the pure starry clematis bends with its bloom , And the jusmine exhales a more witching perfume . That sweet hour stull atone for the anguish of year * , And thoueh fortune still frown , bid us smiie titr .-ugh our sears ; Through the storms of the future shall soothe and 6 * us tain ; Then meet me at sunset—oh ! meet me & £ ain 1 And here 13 a sweet and touching appeal of pure , confiding lore : —
XOTE THOUGHTS . O let not words , the callous shell of thought , Intrude between thy silent « oul and mine ! Try not the choicest evar poet wrought ; They all are discord in onr life divine . Smile not thine unbelief ; bnt hear and say All that thou will ' st , and then upon my breasl Thy gracious h 6 ad in silent passion lay , One little hour j and tell me which ia best . Sou let us live our love ; in after hoars Words shall fit handmaids to sweet memory be ; Bui let them not disturb those holier bowers , Thu voiceless depths of perfect sympathy . H . ft . HIUIM .

ORIGINAL REPUBLICAN APHORISMS . BY ARGUS .
Third Alphabet—( continued . ) Jaundiced minds are ever prone to search , discover , and malign the motives of others ; measuring the principles of others by their own standardself ; they are invariabiy found to attack every measure for the general good , solely beeanse they conceive these measures will confer no particular , no persOhal benefit on themselves ; and determined to prostrate the noblest aims , where they reap no exclusive benefit , they commence their inquisitorial system of annihilation ! Finding the measure pure and perfect , they then attack it in detail , or profess
not to comprehend its present practicability and ultimate tendency ; at length , defeated in their intention of blasting a principle , they attack its advocates ; in their moral , intellectual ; private and public characters , and where they find one loophole , they tear the whole to sbreds ! Thus , by their mode of attack alone , a powerful and lasting good is annihilated ; the noblest human structure is perhaps for ever destroyed , which they never had power to conceive , nor ever possessed capability to rear Alas ! for our country , for humanity , how prolific and how numberless are these hypocritical" growths " in our land , what a loathsome host of disciples there are in this school !
King-craft and priest-craft are both children of the same parents ; they are the combined effects of imbecility and wickedness . The moment a community becomes weak enough to adopt favouritism as a characteristic principle , then follows the exaltation of the favourite , who is afterwards distinguished amongst his equals and superiors by the title of " Kirg . " For a very short time he may advise his " subjects" with sincerity , aud represent their interests honestly ; but soon he tastes the sweets of " office "—becomes corrupt , and knowing that his power can only be sustained by the will of the people ( at this stage of hia ruling existence ) , he distributes his emissaries amongst his subjeutssowsdisseutious where the people attempt to inquire
hi 3 character , his procedure , —circulates pecuniary bribes amongst the dishonest , —procures a number of worthless wretches , whom he designates " nobles " and " guards , "—gathers his creatures , men of the most despicable character , to assist him in distributing what he term 3 "jnstice , " —lives a life of debauchery , teeming with uo trait of humanity , save tyranny and wickedness , —assumes the man in nothing but his vices , —dies a "saint !"—hauds down his character ! his virtues ! and his " crown , " to his heirs ; to be by them duly appreciated , so long as the ignorance of his "subjects" prevail , or their mental blindness will permit . The same community , by the example of their "king" and his "court" launching
, out into all the irregularities that unrestrained appetites are capable of , grasp with avidity the promises held out by a number of morally regardless vagabonds , who hold out the prospect of plenty to the starving , and peace to the wicked ; and contrive , by dint of a little monkish legerdemain , to impose their fal ? e doctrines on the weak , aim their impure designs on the wicked , —holding out reward to the one and pardon to the other , they thus lull their poor dupes into security , and find them ever ready and willing instruments in the promotion of their own ba .-e . immoral , and unchristian designs . Republicans , Chartists , Christians , thoso are "kings , " and these are " priests !"—which do you choose ?

Two parties rcee :, with the pro-determined intention of grappling with and seizing any advantage that may occur to eitner , without indulging , even a momentary thought , on the benefit that
would accrue from their labours , if butli were intent on obtaining and grant' . ns ; equal justice to all . How many thousands of our countrymen have been sacrificed to satisfy th- proviso of a modern treaty ? and how many silly negotiations—how many thimble-rig finalities have we wjinessfd , " blundering away "playing their part , to gratify mercenary purposes , in a diplomatic mission !

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY RAILWAY . VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER . Birmingham , Saturday Evening . The Coroner's inquest on the body of the unfortunate man , Richard Black , who met his death on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway , on Wednesday evening last , commenced yesterday , and terminated this morning , as will be seen by the following abridged report , in the committal of two men f « r manslaughter .
But subsequently Mr .. Marson , one of the under-con tractors for the repairs of tho line , was also committed by a magistrate , to take hia trial for negligence , in allowing an obstruction on the line , contrary to the provisions of Lord Seymour ' s Act The proceedings were opened at the Swan Inn , Nether Whitacre , near Coleshill , where the body of Black now lies . Mr . G . C . Greenway , of -Warwick * in the absence of Mr . Whateley , presided , as coroner . The Earl of Aylesford , who resides in the neighbourhood , was present , and took great interest in the proceedings .
The first witness called -was William Poulton . ' gnard on the line , who deposed that ha was with the downtrain which left Birmingham at half-past . five o ' clock on Wednesday evening . They arrived at Coleahill station at twelve minutes past eight o'clock , being five minutes behind time , and ou reaching Orgrel ' s-end Bridge , near Whitacre , they came in contact , as he subsequently ascertained , with a small truck on the rails . The concussion detached the engine and tender , which went off the line of the railway , and two of the first carriages , which were of the third class , were turned over upon their sides . The remainder of the
train consisted of second class carriages , and one of the first class . These kept ou the line and ran on about thirty yardB . The deceased , who was riding in one of the third class carriages , was . pulled from under tho engine quite dead . The stoker , whose name was Atkins , had one of Tiis 'legs broken , but the engineer was not hurt Amother man , named Naylor , was much bruised , aud was lying at a farmkouse in the neighbourhood . It was moonlight There was nothing in the way that they could see . There were no luggage waggons attached t 6 the train . Tho truck was used by tbe plate-layers for tbe purpose of carrying materials along the line . . . ,
By the Coroner—The Iruck was certainly not in its proper place when the train came up , for the train was due and behind time . ' If the men had been any way quick , they might have turned the truck over , and got it out of th « way before the arrival of the train . It was usual to keep trucks on the rails for the purpose of rep » ir , and when the train arrived to throw tham off But he did not see that there was any necessity for having a truck ou the line at all at the time the accident occurred . The men were not required to work on
on the railway longer than daylight Ht > never saw any men at work on the line after dark before that night Men were stationed along the line at every part which was considered in any way to be dangerous . Whenever there vas any thing wrong , a nun was placed with a signal lamp . There were also inspectors , whose duty it was to take caru of certain lengths of the line . Be could not tell whether there were any inspectors between CoJeshiJJ and VVhitac- e the night the accident occurred , but he knew there was one stationed at Coleshill .
George Somarville , being sworn , stated that he was engine-driver to the three quarter past 11 a . m . train from Derby and the half-past five o'clock train from Birmingham . They arrived at Whitacre at the time stated by the last witness . He never recollected seeing a truck on the line after dark before . that night . He did not see anybody with the truck , and iucleed he never saw anything until he was in the ditch , where ho met one nun ( whom he did not know ) , who confessed he was with tho truck , but he ( witness ) had not time to question him further , as be had to look after , bin mate , the stoker , and he did not s « e the mam after-Wards . The engine anil carriage were in excellent working order , and when > h « accident occurred all was going un as well as they could go .
By Mr . Carter— Mv . John Stevenson was the contractor for the miiiuteiiauct ) of the permanent way from Hampton to Tamworth , and Mr . Marson was employed under him to ste tlia woik kept in order . For that purpose i . e had gangs of men along the line , under the orders bt' a uupcrintendent . If he ( witness ) had seen a truck ou the line during the day , it would have been his business to report it to Mr . Hartley , the superintendent of locomotive power , and he should have reported it to Mr . BurkiiibLavv , the engineer . He ( witness ) had been employed on the Newcastle and Cj . rli . iio and upon the London and Birmingham lines ,
and had been recommended by the manager of the last line to Mr . Burkinshaw , under whom he had been employed tbe fast tweivc months . Ho certainly considered the Derby Una the safest ho bail ever been on . In the fir . it place , theru were not many cuttings aud embankments ; and iu the next place , they had a good set of engines . As respected the watching and guarding , it was conducted lika other lines . The present was the first accident which had occurred on . the Derby line . He had Ivid fourteen yews' experience in working stationary engines in North Shields , and two years as a fireman before he was employed on railways , making sixteen years' experience altogether .
By the Coroner—At the time the accident occurred tho traiu was goins at the rate of from twenty-eight to thirty miles in the hour . Tho greatest speed at which he had ever goue might be from forty-two to forty-four miles in the hour . He did not think he had tvm beaten that . Mr . John Burkinshaw was then called , and deposed that he was resident engineer and manager of the Birmingham a »< l Derby Railway , and stated that the men weru o « ly required to work on the line during daylight , except in cases of real necessity , when proper signals would ba placed at equal distances along the line , one at each oi < lo where the party was at work . The truck which caused the accident had no right to be on the line , nor was there any necessity for it The hours ot the men were from six in the morning until six at night in summer , and during daylight in wiuter , but they were often required to work during the night when
there was any appearancu of danger , arising from 5 slip or other cause , on the Hue . The mtn were employed by a contractor , . anil wc-re under his controul . Ha bolieve'l thu number employed . on the linefor the purposes of protection wrr « in proportion to those employed on the J . . nJon ami Birmingham line . He only knew from report tbe purpose for which the truck was phic « d upon the line on the tight in question , but he could say that there was nothing in the state of the line , which was in perfect order , to require it to be thore at the time . The witness , after answering some questions put by Lord Aylesfonl , produced a printed list of regulations to be observed by the Company's servants on the lino , and which , in conclusion , stated that the placing the truck upon the line was a clear breach of those instructions . No person had a right to usu a truck oa the line except f » r the Company ' s work , and it ought hot , for any purpose to have been ou tile line at the time tho acci'lent occurred .
Mr . Stevenson , the contractor , was examined at great length , with a view to corroborate the statements made by Mr . Burkinshaw , and exonerate the company from aU biatuo . It appeared that on Wednesday morning Mr . Stevenson directed Mr . Marson , who was in bis employ , to send a letter fur him to Tarn worth , and that for the purpose of doing the journey quickly , Mr . Marson , without any order from Mr . Stevenson , sent two men in a truck with the letter in question . Lord Ayltsfovd—I -wish to ask Mr . Stevenson whether he knew there was to be a truck taken up last Wednesday night from here to Tamworth ? Witness—1 did , my Lord . Loul Aylesford—Who went with it ?
Witness—Mr . Marson , ruy Lord , will explain that belter than I can . I wished to have a message sent to my clerk at Tamworth on Wudnesilay morning , ami entrusted it to Mr . Marson to have it . forwarded with a'l despatch in the hope of catching tho traiu , ana a note was forwarded by ono of the trucks . / did not know the man who took it , but Mr . Marson does . In answer to questions from Mr . Carter , witness sri'l that if trucks were used for any purposes than the wovk of the company it would be a breach of tho regulations , aud that the note he seat wus not connected with the work of the company . Coroner—Did you direct how the note should be sent ' Witness—I did not . I was not aware that it would be sent in this way . The note was s «> t at twelve s . t noon , and I understood they did the distance in about half an hour .
A great deal of evidence vr : is then given , from which it appeared that Mr . Marson ordered the twa men named Barber and King , to take the truck to Tarnworth , and that he accompanied them six milus on the road , when , after giving them tho latter to carry forward , he left them Directions to be very careful as to the trains . They remained at Tamworth a considerable time , and , on their return they were warned by a polieeman at Kingsburj , ai two and a half miles from where the accident occurred , as to the pvobable arrival of the trairis , when they replied to the effect that all was right , and were fully prepared to remove the truck upon tht approach of danger . It so happened , however , according to their own statement , that when in tbe act of attempting to remove the truck , tbe train came in upon them , and the accident occurred , by which Black lost , his life . The inquest adjourned at Laif past seven o ' clock .
On Saturday morning , the Jury met at eleven , and the Uoionei proceeded to hear the evidence . He observed that after hearing a great quantity of evidence , no blame appeared to attach t « the company , but rested entirely npon the contractors ' , department and the two men in charge of the truck . As it regarded Mr . Marson , tbe evidence he thought was not sufficiently strong to justify a verdict of manslaughter , but he had little doubt if acquitted by them , the case , an it affected him , would be mot , in another way . The Jury then , after some ' consideration , returned . a verdict of manslaughter against Barber and Kin ? , tbe two men with the truck , and the Coroner committ ed them to take their trial for that otlonce at the next ass ; zes for the county of Warwick .
Mr . Garter , addressing Lord Aylcsford , then eaul , that he ' was instructed on the part of the railway directors to state tbat they were determined to prosecute Mr . Marson under Lord Seymour ' s Act for negligently placing an obstruction on the trains of the raii wht . Lord Aylesford said , that , es a county magistrate , be was prepared to hear Urn tftarge .

The evidence , as it affected Mr . Marson , and already Bmmmarily stated , was then goue Into , and at its conclusion , Lord Aylesford said he felt bound to commit the prisoner to take his trial at Warwick . He accordingly committed him , but Mr . Marson subsequently procured bail to answer the indictment to be preferred against him , and be was discharged out of custody .
To Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen.
TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN .
Madam , —In presenting to you , as the chief magistrate of this kingdom , the series of letters of which this is the first , I beg most respectfully to state , that I am actuated by no motive of personal ambition , and by no wish to promote party or class interests , as contradistinguished from the general interests of the whole people . I am moved , I trust , solely by an
earnest desire to premate the general happiness and prosperity of my country , and , as far as any influence I may possess extends , of mankind at large . I am sensible that tbe subject I am about to discuss is one which is closely and intimately connected , with the welfare and prosperity of all classes of your Majesty ' s subjects ; and one , therefore , which has high claims upon the attention of her who has been , in the order of Divine Providence , called to the exercise of a marked and extensive influence over the destinies of millions .
In those letters it will be my task to bring before the notice of your Majesty facts of an appalling character , as to tbe state of demoralisation and crime in which large mosses of the people of this country are unhappily involved . I shall have to show that that state of demoralisation and crime is , t « a frightful extent , attributable to the laws and institutions of the land ; and I shall have to demonstrate that vast changes in these laws and institutions must be effected ere yon can reasonably hope to sway your sceptre over a bappy , prosperous , sober , and religious people . But though this may be a picture of an uncourtly character , it is one on
which it is most necessary that you accustom yourself to look with a steady and discriminating gaze ; and although born in a circle of society , and surrounded , by circumstances and influences the most unfavourable for taking a just and enlightened view of the important matters to which I am about to Invite your attention , yet believing that you have been endowed by the Divine author of life , with an understanding to comprehend the lessons of truth , and a heart to feel for your people when their true condition is fairly placed before yon , I will hope that you will not refuse to listen to a
" plain unvarnished tale , " told , it aiay be , with great simplicity , but , let me assure your Majesty , witb the utmost sincerity , and with devoted attachment to what is really good and excellent in the constitution of my country . In the remarks which I am anxious to bring under your royal notice , I trust no word will escape my pen which can be justly deemed offensive . I shall , I hope , ever bear in mind the respect due to your station , and especially to your sex . I appeal to your Majesty as the Executive power of the State , and every line of that appeal shall breathe tbe true loyalty of a Briton , and the genuine courtsey of a man .
A t a timu like the present , when adverse interests are at work , and when an age of transition from one state of society to another has evidently commenced , it becomes matter of serious and important inquiry whether the changes which must inevitably take place , shall tend to the establishment of human happiness , or the perpetuation , perhaps for ages , of habits and modes of thinking , and of acting , which must be productive of a largo amount of misery and crime .
One thing in the conflicting mass of opinions which are deluging the world seems to be conceded by all ; that is , that the present institutions of society are now incapable of answering the end for which they were originally designed , and that a remodih ' cation or reorganisation of the social fabric must be obtained . This I say is admitted by all ; but beyond this we seem to have no common ground . The sentiments put forth by different writers , and the remedies they prescribe for the disorders of the body , social aud politic , are as wide asunder as the poles , aud as divers as the points of the ctmpass . One man would go to past ages , to
ruke up tho rubbish of times gone by , iu order to mend , patch up , and give stability to that which the wear aud tear of time has rendered utterly unfit for further service , while his neighbour , in this pretended work of renovation , would reject every thing that is ancient ; nothing but new stoues from the quarry , and green timber from the wood , will do for him . It does not require much wisdom to discover that with such workmen , and such materials , no practical good ca . n be effected . The one will attempt to repair , and
sustain rubbish , witb its like , till the whole mass comes tumbling about his ears , and burioa him in its ruins , while the other , with his unhewu stones and unseasoned timber , tries in Tain to rear an ediSce which will stand firm in the midst of the blast and the tempest , offering a secure depository for tha most invaluable rights and liberties , which he so highly prizes , and which he tells us he is desirous of transmitting , with all their unnumbered blessings , to hia children , and his children ' s children .
A mid all the balderdash and confusion , the sound , am ; noi . 3 ' .-, and hr . !> bub which pervades tliu land , it is not surprising th&t tliings of the utmost moment are overlooked , and that sometimes incalculable mischief is done to public interests , public morality , or public liberty , by unprincipled parties In high places , while taking advantage of the state of conflict and confusion into which , it may be , their © wn machinations have contrived to throw the public mind . As an instance or two of this , I may mention the way in which the Russian autocrat was permitted to exterminate the rights of Poland , while the people of England were busily engaged in aiding the middlo classes * to get that
franchise wliicb has enabled them to trample , ahnost uncontrolled , upon tho rights of labour , and to ptrpetuato acts from which the Tories would have shrunk with shame , and tho virtuous portion of them with horror aud abhorrence . I may also mention the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Act , ( on tho nature and effects of which your Majesty ' s faithful people will enlighten your royal mind one of these days , ) wiiile the people of England were engaged in the consideration of some subject , or in the agitation of some' question of no more p ; iactical utility to them than tbe discussion of the problem how to square the circle . A thousand such instances mi ^ ht ba adduced , but tiieseare sufficient for th # purpose of illustration .
To obviate , as much as possible , the obstacles thus continually thrown iu the way of practical improvement , or unavoidably arising from the weakness and imperfection of human nature , is clwiriy the duty of ovrry good and honest citizen ; and this , in my opinion , can be best accomplished by bringing , in a calm , dispassionate , and deliberate manner , the various anomalies which exist in , and the numerous evils which affect society , uudor the notice and consideration of the Sovereign ami the people . This , in a country where the press is , to a considerable extent , unshackled , ctn
be done most effectually throu » h thai medium ; aud hence I conceive that no apology will be necessary for the honest patriotism which addresses the . se letters to your Majesty , in which I propose to discuss a subject which , wililo it stands intimately connected with your important state duties , as Queen of this great empire , cannot fail to interest your filings and sympathies , both as a woman aud a mutlier . Suffer me then to introduce t " your most serious attention the important , perhaps , politically anil strictly speaking , I shall not err if I say tho all-important , subject of prison discipline and criminal jurisprudence .
This subject , which involves in its consequences and results of a magnitude and importance , second to no other , is one of these which have been to a very congidentbla extent overlooked , neglected , or misunderstood , and yet to a reflecting mind , a mind which is in the habit of looking beyond the mere surface of'things , whicU is accustomed to tiace effects to causes , and to contemplate remote consequences in connection with immediate results , it is a subject fraught with the most Stirling interest , and demanding at once the most searching inquiry , united with sound judgment , penetrating intelligence , and calm doliboratiox .
The iuipoitaut investigation up « n which we are about fc > oiuter , haa reference to some inquiries which , at first igtit , may not appear to belong to it . The prosecution of crime , and the punithaieut of the offender , are matters connected , with man as he exists in society , and as ho exists In society only . If each individual w . ii isolated and indejxmdent , society could not exist , and oon ## qut > aUy crime u ^ ainst society would be impossible , and its punishrneot a nonentity . It follows , then , that in conaidfcring tho state of crime , and of its preventfexi awl panithmejit , we must consider man as
Untitled Article
congregated in society j and the end for -which « odety * was established , become * , of course , one of the first questions of inquiry . We must ever bear in mind , as a point of immense moment , the fact that the aggregation of men in society fa widely different from the aggregation of parti In a complicated machine . To make the latter perform its designed purpose in obedience to the impelling power , nothing more is necessary than to keep tbe whole in a state of proper adjustment , and to remove ai > y dirt or other impediment which might derange its structure and prevent the due performance of their respective
functions by its several parts . But in the social machine things _ attain a very different state Like every other machine , it is a whole made up o individual parts ; but , unlike any other , its parts am active while theirs are entirely passive . That is to say , eTery part of society , every individual comprising the social family , has a will ot bis own ; be has personal designs to subserve , and personal wishes to gratify . The fact is , men in society are constantly actuated by two opposite and opposing tendencies : the one leading them to seek and to secure those advantages which society affords ; and , as a means , to submit to the re
straints which they must yield to in order to gain their end ; and the other urging them to seek that apparently natural , but , in truth , spurious independence , which . results from unbridled and universal license ; and it is just in proportion as the one or the other of their tendencies prevail , that a man is a good or a bad member of society . Hence it is plain that the character of the individuals' composing it make , in reality , the character of the social state as a whole . If the people be individually moral , sober , just , virtuous , kind , and religious , sueh will the nation be . If , on the contrary the people individually bo immoral , intemperate , unjust
in their dealings with e * ch other , vicious , cruel , and irreligious , this will be the character of tho nation generally ; aud in proportion as either class prevail will be the happiness or misery which will be enjoyed by , or pervade the community . Oa these tendencies of tbe mass of mankind the political institutions of a country have a marked and decide ! influence , and amongst all these institutions none is more powerful iu its outbearings upon the stato of crime than the penal enactments which may be in fovce at any given period . If these enactments are distinguished by harshness and undue severity ; if they treat the criminal not
as a moral agent , capable of reformation and amendment , the medium of corrective measures applicable to bis moral sense , but reduce him below the level of a brute , sending him to herd with the most abandoned of his « p « : ies , and d is . ' .-iissing hi / u from his prison house , only tht > more qualified and fitted lor a career of reckless iniquity , equally unaffected by the lessons of human punishment as by the prospects of a further judgment , or , if , on the other hand , the criminal is acted upon only by correction , sliut out from all the
charities of life , and suV . jected to indignities , and to privations which no feeling mind conld bring itself to contemplate without horror , or to inflict even upon tho most degraded and sunken grades of humanity ; if such , I eay , be the conduct prescribed and followed out by the criminal jurisprudence of tbe country , then w » m * y rest assured , that without the alteration of such a system , no really beneficial change in the state of the criminal population can be effected , or indeed can be rationally expected .
From what I bave said , I hope that it will appear evidentthat we must , if we intend to come to right conclusions from admitted premises , preface our investigation into the state of crime , its causes , and the most efficient remedy , by a short examination into the physical aud moral structure of man in his individual character , and then , e proceed to consider him in his social relations with his fellow-Eion . We shall by this means be able' to ascertain , with tolerable accuracy , the bearing which the one has upon the other , and shall thus have laid a firm and solid basis on which to rear a superstructure which shall tend to the prevention of crime to a considerable extent , destroying
or removing ' its cause , and afford solid ground of hope that many who are now the pest and the curse of our beloved country may be restored to the paths of duty and virtue , and thus'become a blessing and an ornament to the land of their birth . To obtain this great and desirable object , no paltry feelings , or party intrigues , or jealousies , should be permitted for one moment to oppose an obstacle' nor should cupidity or avarice be allowed to put in the wedge of selfishness to stop the progress of improvement It has been well observed in tbe report of the inspectors of prisons , that in every reclaimed criminal , not only is the tanks of the criminal population reduced by one , but the state has also gained a good and worthy subject
Not doubting but that this high aud momentous subject must excite in the bosom of your Majesty those feelings of sympathy and interest which its vast importance is so well calculated to inspire , I will venture to bope that you . will give the whole weight of your influence to those well-digested and judicious plans which may be framed for the improvement of this most important branch of our national jurisprudence . I have the honour to be , Madam , Your Majesty ' s truly faithful subject , rOTMA . London , Dsc . 7 th , 1840 .
