      Bail-Wat Pbotits . —The Birmingham and Gloncester railway committee bare published their report , and on th& whole it presents a cheering aspect . A reduction in the working staff of about £ 4 , 000 per annum is recommended ; but it appears to be a question whether some of the higher salarits might not be cut down , instead of making tbe weight of their saving fall npon the lowest class of servants in the company . ; The opening of the Bristol and Gloucester line is expected to increase the traffic of the line .

Desthucitvs Fire , asd tebbiblk Explosioi * . — On Saturday one of the mosi terrific explosions that has visited the metropolis for some time , attended with an immense destruction of property , took place Boon after £ ve o ' clock , at the extensive and valuable oil and turpentine works belonging to Messrs . Johnson sad Pincbin , situate in Cable-street , St . George ' s in tbe East , which desn-oyed the whole of jthe

      factory , which is considered to be one of tbe largest in London , and contained several tbonsand barrels of turpentine . Tbe fixe has damaged between thirty and forty houses in the neighbourhood , including the well-known Roman Catholic school in the above road . The factory stood on the north side of'the road between Christy-street and Grore-etreet , comprising a substantial brick warehouse of two stories high , wivh a froniage facing the road of upwards of eighty feet . It extended m depth some Jifij feet , within a conple of feet of the Blackwall railway , three arches of which were rented by the firm , and used for the deposit of turpentine and other combustible materials , in the latter of which il was estimated that at least 2 , 000 barreb were lodged , which

      alone were insured to tbe amount of £ 1 , 000 . It appears , from a statement made by Mr . Inspector Norman , of the H division , that at about & quarter to five he had passed the premiees , and all then appeared safe . Shortly afterwards , however , the policeman on dnty near the spot gave the alarm of fire . Having dispatched messengers for the engines , he proceeded to the fire , which appeared to him to be confined to the centre of the works . Dense volumes of smoke were at tbe time pouring forth from All parts of the roof . He immediately , with his men , roused the inhabitants of the neighbouring

      houses , and whilst so engaged , two engines from ihe Wellclose-sgnarB station came op , and , pleDty ! of water beicg at hand , were immediately got into operation . The gates were now forced open , and three firemen , viz ., Isaacs , Goddard , and Ftost , together with Sergeant Williams of the H division of police , entered . They had been there but a few seconds when a mosi awful explosion took place , instantly causing destruction to the whole factory ; " the roof was blown high into the air , and the whole of the walls were forced outwards into the streets , partially failing upon the above-named persons . Never was such a scene at the East end of the metropol !? . For

      several minutes the whole of the district wa 3 enveloped amidst clouds of dnss and smoke , aod an immense shower of hurniD , g remnants of the baildiu ^ . The shock resemhkd that of an earthquake , and the hpeses for 'some distance round were shaken to their very foundation , every window in them was blown to atoms , and the inhabitants appeared for the moment io be paralysed . As soon as the smoke and dust had in some degree cleared awaj , great anxiety was manifested for the safety of th . B firemen , two « f them , it was found , had managed to extricate themselves from ihe ruins , bnt Isaacs and ihe policeman were dragged out in a most pitiable condiuoD , bleeding profusely , and much turnt bj the flaming timbers falling on them . Tiey were immediately carried

      away to some neighbouring honse , when medical assistance was « al > ed to their aid- Other explosions , almost eqoal in power to the first , the result of several hnndred weight of gunpowder in the place , followed in rapid succession , hurling to a considerable distance the few remaining portions of the ruins which were left standing . Intelligence of the cal amity having been sent to all fhe fire-stations in London j in a short time nearlj ihc whole brigade force and cDgiues , and also others of various offices , came in quick succession , and were all £ Ot to work in such situations as Mr . Braidwood , superintendent of the Sre brigade , lhonght wonld have the best command over the conflagration . To extinguish the fire which raged among the stores of the factory , was a matter of impossibility , and as $ ho surrounding buildings

      were all getting ignited , the sole exertions or tne nre brigade were devoied to their preservation . They worked manfully for three hours , aad si last succeeded in preventing the flames extendingjanyfnrthey , and all danger was removed ; hut the rnins were one immense T » ody of fire . Ah idea may be formed of the extent of Jhe fire , when it is inown that upwards of fifty tens of tnrpentine were alight atonetame , besides several thoasand barrels of oil , a ? iite-lea 4 , paint , pitch , and other combustible matenalB * u * d , in the factory , not more than eneJialf of which iaia-Sred in tie Sun firc-ofSce .

      Highlt Flattening PirrcnE of a " Judge . ' 'The Mail in ajiiwuncri !^ ti . e d-JHu ? of the rx-Chief Justice Bushe , thus gives rein to its taste for the panegyrical : — " A great light has b-m extinguished —and the brilliant , the classical , the eloquent—he "whose talents shed a lostre upon tbe senate and the bar—whose virtues : reflected an honour upon the bench—whose wit illuminated everything it touched —whose vivacity ' gave life and cheerfulness and fipirit to all within its sphere—Is no more : —Bushe , the orator and statesman—Bushe , the advocate and the lawyer—Bushe . i ihe tcholar and the gentleman , has ceased to be V * jNow this * great light ' in the days of his brilliacay was a powerful declaimer and a flaming patriot , t Be / like Plunfcett . had been a Whig , but felt no qualms to accept office from the Tories . He had been , too , a violent anti-Unionist ; bnt when bribed by a place he did not hesitate to

      denounce Repealers . He was a politician in days when the people were comparatively ill-informed and powerless ^ and only made the blind tools to aggrandize a hollow and selfish faction . The defunct Judge was disposed to convivial habits , and attached to the pleasures which wine promotes . He struggled hard for terms with the ] Whigs—hut they were slow to bestow the British ; Eeorago upouhim , with lie other pledges he required / and he therefore disappointed Mr . Pigot , by keeping his seat on the Queen ' s Bench warm for Chief justice Pennefather , who would , however , much rather have obtained the exalted office which Sir Edward Sugden BOW fills . Tho relatives and friends , who are , it is but just to Bay , numerous—may mourn that the ex- Chie f Justice has been , even at an advanced age , summoned to his great account ; but the grief of the people will be slight when they reflect an old » nan has died , and that they will no longer be required to pay his pension . —Iiublin World .

      The Whig Bid . —The Whigs are preparing within the walls of Parliament , as well as ont of doors , to bid highly for a restoration to office . Nay , already the bidding has commenced—and it is amuBing to observe with what briskness it proceeds . At first Lord John and his followers imagined that Downingstreet , with all its appurtenances , would be knocked down to them for a gong , and they therefore displayed no willingness to make great sacrifices to obtain the prize—but when they discovered their error , and found that nothing would do but stepping out , they by degrees indicated a disposition to Change ( heir tactics . The Whigs passed an Arms Bill , gave up the appropriation-clause , and resisted any extension of the Irish franchise . They now—and we are

      rejoiced to see they do bo—oppose the Arms Bill of tbe present Ministers;—clamour against the Church establishment of this country—and seem to think the Irish franchise far too limited . They cannot , however , yet stomach Repeal—and taking the Globe as the chief organ of the party , American sympathy is to them gall and wormwood . Here we have tho Globe—the oracle of Lord Palmerston—in arms against the American Repealers : — " Mr . G'Gonnell calls himself the best abused man , but England is certainly the best abused country in the world . We should like to know ; what hypothesis the party in power will now find to substitute for the alleged brusquerie of Lord Palmerston as exciting ill-will against England . There are however lessons ,

      indedependent of party , to be learned from the sort of universal explosion of ill-will against England which the canaille of every country sends forth ( and even expresses in some driblets of dollars } when they think any how they can help to embarrass her . One lesson is to feel ourselves great , which w « are , and were we not , we should not be thus threatened . It may be said this is an easy lesson to national vanity . Not so easy—the sense of greatness , properly so called , is neither the mere pride of purse , nor pride of power , nor pride oi territory . None of these , aor all put together , form permanent national greatness . Switzerland , without any of them , was great , filled great space in the moral map of Europe . Spain , with all of them , was wondrous little , even while she yet called herself Spain and the Indies . If we

      feel properly what makes us great , we shall be in do danger of feeling too sensibly that portion of foreign enmity which , in plain terms , deserves no better name than the ebullition of conscioas blackguardism against the moral aristocracy that provokes it . It is tbe blackguard portion ( we must use plain terms ) of foreign nations that is most bitter against England— that portion which is fitly represented by the Paris Charivari ^ , and New York Herald—by * the distinguished General Hubbell , ' of Philadelphia , and Mr . James Bergen . " This is very dignified ; but nevertheless it wont do , as the Irish people will be sure to doubt the sincerity of those who assail the persons who sympathise with their sufferings , and send the a sinews of war" to procure redress . — Dublin World .

      CABTilflT . Ti , —MEET 1 S 0 OF THE COUNCI 1 OP THE Chabtist association . —On Sunday last , the members of the above-named body held their usual weekly meeting at their ioonu No . 6 , John ' s-street , Caldewgate , Mr . Robert Graham in the chair ; after some discussion the following resolution was proposed by Mr . W . Canlthard : — " Thai It is the opinion of tbia meeting that the resolutions of tbe Sheffield Chartiats , if acted upon , would establish a very dangerous precedent ; yet owing to tbe frequent drains made upon those localities , which have had local victims , their funds are necessarily low : and as Mr . Thomas Ratlton and Mr .

      John Leach are in immediate want of assistance , if Mr . O'Connor can be prevailed upon to advance so much out of the General J > efence Fond as will meet their present necessities ; and the Chartist body generally agree to pay back the sum that may be advanced , tbe Council of Carlisle Chartist Association pledge ourselves to pay a fair share of the ( aid sum . " Carried unanimously . The Secretary was then ordered to prepare a fair balance sheet of the entire income and expenditure , Bod also to prepare a report of tbe proceedings of the Council during the last Quarter , preparatory to tbe quarterly meeting which is to take place on Monday evening , the 24 tb instant .

      ROCHDAXE . —On Sunday last a Camp Meeting was holden on Cronkeyshaw , which was well attended . Tbe speakers were energetio ; and , judging from the appearance of tbe attentive assemblage , a good effect was produced . At the conclusion of the proceedings it was announced that a similar meeting would take place that day week at Heywbod , neat the White Lion , at two o ' clock in the afternoon . In the evening M * . Leach , of Hyde , lectured in our room on tbe Repeal question , and gave vtry general satisfaction . IttAKCEESTBR , —CARPKITrEKS' Hi . LL .-Mlf . W . Dixon lectured in the large ante-room of the Hall on Sunday afternoon last ; the hall having been appropriated to the use of tbe Sunday scholars , whose increasing

      numbers has outstripped the accommodation provided for them in the ante-rooms . The audience was sot so large as usual , owing to there being an out-door meeting in tbe neighbourhood of Ancoats , -which was attended by many of oar frienda . Mr . Dixon lectured again in tho evening to a zramerous and attentive audience . Hia subject waa ^ 'ithe rise , progress , and present position of the Chartist movement" He took occasion to advert to the gross tyranny practised by all whose interests are identified with the present monstrous system , and concluded by shewing the advantages which would necessarily accrue from the enactment of tb . B Chatter . Upon retiring he was greeted with the marked approbation 0 ! his audience .

      The Chabiist Youths of this town held a camp meeting on Sunday afternoon last , in the neighbourhood of Great Ancoats . Mr . Taylor was called upon to presida The meeting waaf well attended , and was addressed by Mr . C . Doyle and others , in sound and urgumentative speeches . ¦ The thanks of the meeting bavins been given to the ^ chairman , it adjourned until next Sand ay afternoon at two o ' e ' eck , to be then again holden in the Central-Market , Sniford . WE 3 NESBURY . —In accordance with the decision of the Delegate Meeting held in Birmingham , on the 28 th of June , another meeting of delegates assembled in tha Peopled Hall , Wednesbury , on Sunday , to take into consideration what steps ought to be adopted for aronaing the enslaved and suffering

      thousands throughout this populous district . It may be well to observe , that , at this moment the colliers and iron-workers of Bilston , Wednesbury and Dudley , are involved in greater distress than has been known at any former period . The mine-owners at Bibton , some few months ago made a fearful reduction of wages . The poor miners were not in a position to resist ; it was consequently submitted to without a struggle . Elated , no doubt , with this brigand-victory of despoiling the life-hatarding defenceless victims of their lawless tyranny , the vampires are abont to repeat their impious Outrage OP the rights oj l-ahour , by another reductiou . How this will be met bj the miners it is hard to say . But what can the enlightened and devoted advocate of

      democratic justice contemplate , as the issue of these fearful aggressions on the very lite of the unenfranchised ? One would suppose that common humanity would restrain these fords of capital from depriving the miner of some small vestige of comfort when enjoying the society of his family , knowing that every time he enters the mine , be is bazardipg both life and limb , not for his own , but for his master ' s enrichment . Tfae nail-makers of Bromsgroye and Stourbridge are also in a lamentable Btate of distress . Masses of them are breaking stones , under the superintendence of the parish authorities . And « ven , when in employ , their condition isnot one per / sent better than the imost oppressed hsnd-looa

      weaver . Fathers , mothers and daughters , and even children of both sexes from seven years of age , are to be seen in every nail shop , working like brutes ; and are after all , half-starved . Yet the masters are continually making encroachments on their prices . It is from causes of this [ nature , together with the repose ,- ^ not of apathy ,-4-but of exhausted feeling that inevitably succeeds great excitement , toT » bich we can attribute the present disorganized state of the people . A well-devised national plan will soon gather up the scattered elements of a great moral combination . In the mesm time , every preparatory measure will clear the way to the efficient administration of such a plan , ili was with this view the delegates met . Mr . Bussell was called to the chair . He observed that he would not detain them by any

It was essential , oyerfall things , that the various places should be m ^ 4 ' 1 T ^ ! wW- he - folly concurred in what Mr . We } sford had said ; and tbe friends at Wedensbury were most anxious to have the services of a lecturer again . Their spacious hall was only available to the cause for which it was erected , by the aid of an honest advocate of their principles . He was , however , sorry to say that every obstaole had been thrown 111 their way by those of whom they expected better 0 Neil

      . Mr . , ' , who had given them his services on several oooasions . had denounced the propriety of allowing thejhall to be used by a small dancing party one njght each week , The--directors , on the contrary , considered it perfectly moral , harmless , and innocent . Mr . Thomaaon , who had been amongst them some time , had gone and Held open-air meet-ISSS ^ l a T 16 W of injuring them , by re-echoing . Mr . p ' Neil ' s notion 3 . They had discharged Thomason from the school . The delegates would therefore see the propriety of having a responsible lecturer . Mr , banner , Wolverhampton , said ha ' thought that every place in the district required the presenoo of a i »/ er « ^ proceedings of the-parties mentioned by Mr . Danfca were very strange . f JMr . Ma 80 n rose , and observed that he

      was by no meiins astonished at the statements made by Mr . Danks . It certainly was unbecoming the character of those who pretended to seek the freedom and elevatfbn of the working class , to interfere with their harmless and innocent amusements . * indeed , to interfere with any local arrangement ! of the committees , which did not militate against the moral influence of the cause . Fanaticism was not religion . But enough . The condition of j the cause was the pbj ' eot of their assembling , and he had anticipated that a greater number of delegates would have ! been present . It was the active men in the various Iocatfties who were at fault , and' not the people ; He had a few weeks ago visited Qudley , and he had excellent meetings ; at on © of which , he had enrolled fifteen members . This did not ; indicate apathy . The people had

      assembled in immense numbers wherever , and whenever the presence of a speaker was announced . That was all the ] most ardent friend of liberty could desire under [ the present circumstances . The people had not abandoned the oause and he hoped some steps would be taken to show that the active men bad not abandoned the people . The now Organization would place the caueo in a more dignified , influential , and powerful position than it ever yet had assumed . The public opinion of the working class , was mature oh the right of representative equality with the richest member of the state . A concentration and judicious direction of that opinion and power was now the grand object . Another great end to be compassed bv the new Organization , will

      be to break dowa middle eJass prejudice * by showing them that a government constituted by the universal sanction of the people , would afford them equal proteotion and safety for their property as they find under the present government ; while it would give a better gua ' reniee for individual and general happiness by establishing commerce on a basis of permanent prosperity . The millocrat Millionaire and the over-grown in&rohant only laugh at oar most forcible appeals either to humanity or reason : not so the humbler manufacturer and sinking shopacraoy , who are as eager for a change as we are , but fear our participation in the advantages . To prepare the public mind for the new Organization was the first work . Ho , Mr . M . would visit the various localities , though it would be at great personal sacrifice , by attending at one and two plaoea each week until the next monthly meeting . Mr . Weeks , of Walsall , and Mr . Rowley , of Bilston , said that they hoped Mr .

      Mason would fnot fail to visit them . The chairman said he considered Mr . Mason ' s tour would place matters in a better position , so that his services would again be Beoured to the cause * Mr . Welsford moved , and Mr . Williams seconded the following resolution , whioh was carried mem . con . Respired , —" That it is essential to the oause in this district that an able lecturer be engaged ; we therefore request every placo comprised in the district to Bend a delegate to the next meeting to be held at Wednesbury , for the purpose of carrying out the object of this resolution : the delegate meeting to tako place one mont h from this day .

      unanimously adopted , and ordered to be sent to the Northern Star and Chartist Circular for publication . A discussion ensued relative to the printing of cards . Mr . Humphries brought forward the subject of the Whig meeting , ] in Marylebone , on the ensuing day . Mr .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Chartists , —For some time past , we have been disorganized , and the cau ^ o for which so many have been imprisoned and persecuted has been much retardedfand the «* finger of derision and contempt" has been pointed at us for the want of a proper union of action among our own body ; but though the cause of truth has suffered nothing in consequence , still we have made but little progress towards the attainment or propagation of our principles . ' ¦ '

      Brothers , now is the time for a fresh struggle a simultaneous -struggle to reorganize and emancipate ourselves from the galling chain of oppression ; to destroy the citadel of corruption ; and extirpate from the bosom jot * the earth thoso errors which support it . What !' . can ive remain silent while the whole world is panting for liberty . Many suggestions have been Imade for the assembling of a Contbrenco to reorganize our body , ana shew to the world that wo jare meu deserving of liberty , and will not , though dungeous and death be our doom , remain contented slaves .

      Powerfully impressed with the imperative necessity and the advantage of a good sound system of Organization among the Chartist body , we have taken into consideration the various dates which have been snggeBted by our Halifax , Sheffield , and North and South Lancashire brethren ; and are of opinion that the dates named are too early to admit of proper arrangements , especially for our brothers beyond the Tweedy whose co-operation we most earnestly invite . We implore you to let no feeling of jealousy , no de&iie in favour of any particular 'locality or date , delay or frus *

      trate the prospect of a meeting so essential to the welfare of the Chartist cause . The political horison is big with imponaiit events ; already do our oppressors f ©> l tho insecure tenure by whioh their power is held . : The Chartist body ; have only to awuse themselve ? to a Fenge of their duty , and the day is near at hand when we shall be recompensed for all our toil and privation by the attainment of our birthright , Liber ty * hedged and fenced in by the adoption of the principle aQd details of the People ' s Charter . To promote so desirable an- object we entreat your calm consideration , and if consistent with your opinions , the adoption of the following

      arrangements '• — First— " That ! a Delegate Meeting be held in Birmingham on Monday , August 2 lst ^ 1843 . " Second— That each town throughout the Kingdom shall have tho power of electing one delegate , with the following exceptions . —Birmingham , Edinburgh , and Liverpool two delegates each ; Manchester and Glasgow three each ; and London four ; and that our Birmingham friends shall provide a suit able place of meeting . " . „ ! , , . , . Third—* 'That tall delegates Bhall be elected at publio meetings J in accordance with their usual forms ; and that each delegate shall obtain proper credentials from the chairman of the nieeting . "

      Keenly feeling ' the great importance of this subject , and the irreparable injury which will be inflicted upon the Cause by further delay , we implore you immadiktely to send to the columns of the Northern Star your opinion relative to the fauggeations thrown out . | . Yours , on behalf of the metropolitan delegate meeting , : John- Fussell , T . M . Wheeler , WllXlAH DAVOC , PHIUP M'GEATH , John Simpson .

      LiVEBPOOL Corn Market , Mondav , July 17 . — The week's imports of Grain , Flour and Oatmeal , are of moderate amount . The weather has continued fine , but short deliveries from the home grower have given an upward tendency iu all the leading markets in the kingdom . The trade here has continued to show much firmness , and , upon a fair demand , our prices have eteadi ' y advanced . Wheat must be quoted 6 d to 9 d , Oats 2 d per bushel . Flour fully 4 a per sack and 3 s per barrel , and Oatmeal 23 to 2 s 6 d per load dearer than on Tuesday last : of tbe lastnamed article several thousand loads have been taken to holdover at 22 s 6 d to 23 a Cd per 2401 bs . Barley , Beans and ' Peas have broueht verv full Drices .

      LiVEBPOOL Cattle Mabket , Monday , July 17 . There has been a fair supply of Cattle at market today , with prices similar to those of last week . Beef 5 d to 6 * d , Mutton 5 d to 5 £ d , Lambs S £ dto 6 £ dper pound . Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , July 15 . —During tha week the weather has been of a favourable character in this district , notwithstanding which , considerable activity has been displayed in the markets , and advanced rates readily realized for all articles . Of Fiour an abrupt suspension of out customary supplies from the interior has been experienced ; which circumstance , combined with the exhausted state of the stock on hand , has enabled factors to effect prompt sales on arrival of the few

      scanty parcels which have come forward at an advance of 3 s to 4 s per sack . Oatmeal has likewise participated in the improvement , and the scarcity of Oats enables holders to obtain higher rates . With , the exception of Oats and Oatmeal , coastwise and from Ireland , the imports at Liverpool and Rancorn are only to a limited amount . At our market this moraing considerable excitement prevailed , and we raiBB quotations 4 d to 6 d per 701 bs on Wheat , in conformity with those of the leading markets * The advance already noted on Flour was firmly sup * ported , and , in some instances , a clearance was effected at still higher rates . Oats may be noted Id to 2 i per 45 Lbs dearer , and the sales made in Oatmeal were is 6 d to 2 s per load above the currency of this day ae ' nnight .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday July 17 th . — In tho early part of the day the factors , from the fact of the attendance of buyers being numerous , " demanded a considerable advance in the prices of English Wheat noted on Monday last , though in some eases ' , the quotations were Is to 2 s per qr higher than on this day se'nnight . The trade closed heavily , and we consider that no material variation can be noticed in the general quotations . No Barley was at market . To-day we bad a firm inquiry for fine qualities of Foreign Wheat at a riso of fally 2 s perqr . Good sound Malt was quite as dear . Oats 6 d per < jr higher . Beans , Peas , and Flour at prices fully < qual to those noted in our last report . London Smithjield Mabket , Monday , July 17 .

      —Tne Beef trade this morning was in a very sluggish state—the finest Scots t , old at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se ' nnight , or from 3 j 104 to 4 s per 81 b , but those of most other kinds suffered an abatement of about 2 d per bibs . Comparatively sp aking the numbers of Sheep were small , but fully ad-quate to meet the wants of the dealers . Prime oid Downs sold readily , at prices about equal to those quoted on Monday last ; but the value of all otherliinds of Sheep was with difficulty supported . Tne Lamb trade waa tolerably firm at last week ' s quotations . Calves at unaltered rates . Tne Pork trade was dull at barely stationary prices . No imports of Foreign Cattle have taken place since our last .

      Borough and Spitalfields , —In these markets there are Very few old Potatoes , yet the demand is confined to the best Scotch Reds , which may be quoted from 80 s to 90 s per ton . New Potatoes at from 33 to 5 s 9 d per CWB . From Holland and France abont 300 sacks have been imported , and sold at from 2 s to 4 s per owt . The quality of these Potatoes is inferior . Borough Hop Mabket . —Our aceozrols from the plantations are , on the whole , more favourable tbaa of late ; yet we have still a moderately firm inquiry for most kind ? of Hops , at prices about equal to those obtained last week . In the duty scarcely anything is doing , Wool / Mabket . —There are no public Bales yet announced , still the private contract demand ia not to Bay brisk , at about late rates .

      Tallow . —There has been rather more business doing in the market during the past week ; and prices on the spot , and for forward deli very , have advanced The former is firm , at the quotation of this morning ; and there are no sellers of .

      PARADISE WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL MEN < WITHOUT LABOUR , BY POWERS OF NATURE AND MACHINERY . Letteb I . 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Dear Sib , —I think it proper to say a few words on the great changes , whicH apparently small inventions have brought about in j the condition and history of mankind , before I speak of equally small and simple inventions , conceived by J . A . Etxler , which are , I most sincerely hope and believe , destined ultimately to change the swamps and deserts to beautiful gardens , to cover the sea with floating islands , to melt iho ice on tho North and South Poles : in fine

      to make our rich but much neglected mother-earth a most delightful ParadiseJa happy abode for men during their terrestrial career . The inhabitants of the plain , the inhabitants of the mild climates of Asia , and ] Southern Europe , who fostered arcs and industry , jwere from time to time the prey of their North Wjestern neighbours men ; who subsisted on the raw ! produces of nature and whose only labours and pleasures were war and hunting . This moat materially retarded the progress of mankind . Egypt . Greece and Rome were overpowered by barbarians as soon as they themselves ceased to be a herd of warrior v The object of every man was to be expert fin killing his fellow-men .

      All who were not slaves were soldiers , and often slaves were withdrawn frojm their labours of producing food , and placed in the fields of battle to kill or be killed for the glory and profit of their masters . Physical force in inrividua ' ls and nations wan the only acknowledged merit , j There came in the 13 th century a little German monk , Berthotdus Schwarz , who by his discovery of Gunpowder , changed the tactics of war , and actually placed the physically weakest man on an equality ] with the strongest and most expert warrior of old . The iron clothings of men and horses were useless ]; the isolated castles of knights and robbers fell inj ruins ; and industrious oicies and villages sprung ap ia their stead . Thus

      this little invention has done more to advance mankind , than the collected " wisdom" of Roman senators and generals could do , during all their wise amd wonderful maiacouvering . ] Navigation in former times was confined to the coasts of the Mediteranian and the Eastern coast of the Atlantic seas . The greater and better part of ( he Globe was unknown to man . Tne people rather believed in the possibility of finding the way to tho moon , than to find land beyjond a certain distance of the Atlantic . But a little discovery was made about the same time aa the discovery of gunpowder ; and the Mariner ' s Compals opened henceforth ihe seas and directed the naviga ' tor through night and

      storms . It guided Columbus to the magnificent shores of the West Indies and America , and gave the Globe its better half . May ] we not go further and say that without the discovery of the compass , the victims of religious and political liberty could never have found an asylum t and Europe would most probably even now have suffered under the Asiatic system of tyranny ! * > I come now to another small invention : Gultemburg s invention of moreable types and tho abt of PfiZNriNS . Knowledge was a mo&opply of the priests and nobles , who converted it into a means of enslaving the people . Yes , the great mass of the people were not much above the brutes . I When we read of the "wisdom " of Greece and Rome , we should not

      forget that what is represented as the wisdom of the people , was only the knowledge of a few of the leaders . How could a nation ever fall into barbarism , if it had once been thoroughly educated \ The printing art opened the treasure of the knowledge of ancient philosophers , and mads it accessible to every one who had a desire for it ; and what is more , multiplied knowledge to an immense degree . A well educated schoolboy of 15 years possesses more real knowledge at the present day { than all the professors and divines of Salamanca at jtho time of t ' ouumbus . Without the press , Luther could never have resisted the power of the Pope , without the press we should know nothing of political , ( religious , and social reformers .

      The press , with a power stronger than a million of bayonets , has partly abolished individual and collective slavery , and will no 4 oubt be still greatly instrumental to destroy these enemies of human progress . ! We owe thanks and gratitude to these banefaotors of mankind , who during their ) lives were persecuted and excommunicated by their Stupid contemporaries ; acd we ought to take warning , that we may not fall in the s » me error and despise or neglect men , because they attempt to teachl us something new and unheard of , or because we caupot at once understand their conceptions . Wo ought at all events , to examine before we judge . j I am , Sir , your obedient servant , C . T . Stollmevek . ( To be continued .
