Politics Are At A Dead Stand In
Politics are at a dead stand In
FRANCE . Tlie _liZfoTTne and J \~ ati < _mal were lately abasing Uie English , because the Duke of Wellington gives annually a dinner to some score of military Aristocrats on the 18 th of June , tbe anniversary of "Waterloo , a celebration -whicb , though more "honoured in the breach than the observance , " is not half so offensive to good taste as the very Illtempered and very silly comments of the French Radical journals . Tbe jbenwcratiel ' acifque , has been Tery foolishly employed in assailing the German Communists iu no very pacific terms . We sincerely wish onr Parisian contemporaries better employment . The Chambers are engaged in winding up tbe business of the session . Wc have nothing new to report of tbo 3 e precious humbugs Thiers and
Gcizoi . The former bas been quiet since his declaration that , "he had contributed to found and Consolidate the present Government , and he now attacked it , not in its essence—God forbid : —but in some of its acts—in the acts of its servants , the present Ministers , who , in following their own tastes , imagined they were serving its interests . " This being put into plain _English , means " I don't attack the middle class created despotism . —God forbid II only quarrel with those who are its directors , because they fill tbe places me and my gang ought to have . " There has been no discussion of any moment since that on Algeria , in which it was shown that the army wliich at first was only 10 , 000 strong , now amounted to 100 , 000 ; that 20 , 000 of these were
in "various ways destroyed annually , and that tne cash cost to France of this beautiful colony wasabout 125 , 000 , 000 ef francs yearly . As regards the natives they of course are being " civilized" and " pacified . " The men are nut to the sword , women and children are carried off ; a tribe is surprised asleep in its tents , the whole are slaughtered without distinction of age or sex ; and this is called " pacification . " When the Arabs retaliate , then , of course France is Tery much horrified at the barbarity of patting prisoners to death in cold blood , quite forgetting the example set by _theroastim-s and smotherings in the eaves of Dabra . It is believed that the elections for the new Chamber will commence on the 1 st of August . By way of . Madrid , we have intelligence from
PORTUGAL _, that disturbances had occurred at Oporto , caused by tiie absolutist conspirators . It is stated that on the 18 th the garrison of Oporto had declared against the existing order of things and been attacked and defeated by the revolutionary party with considerable effusion of Wood on both sides . " Thc rumour was curren tin Madrid that the Spanish Government had received dispatches announcing a Miguelite movement in a , Tillage of Portugal , near the Spanish frontier , and the proclamation of Don Miguel , as King
of Portugal . If this is true it will onl y tend to still farther exasperate the Revolutionists . Previous accounts from Lisbon represent the people as being in a very excited state , and the Queen as very unpopular . The military lave been Very roughly treated b y the Lisbon populace , who no longer fear them . The " _Constitntion of 1820 , " is fast becoming the popular _° _& - Financial affairs are in a precious mess . It is _«« ged that the Cabrals have increased the national aebt no _lessthantKo millions sterling during their war _Jea ' _admnistration .
Politics Are At A Dead Stand In
There has been lately holden in BELGIUM , in the Town Hall of Brussels , a «« Liberal Congress , " consisting of three hundred and sixty deputies , under the presidency of M . Defacqz . a councillor ofthe Court of Cassation , one of the Chiefs of the Liberal party , Tke object ot * this movement , according to the programme ofthe Congress is "to obtain electoral reform by the adjunction of the Jury lists , and by a certain reduction of the present assessment of the towns ; to establish the real independence of the civil power ; to organise by . authority a system of public instruction for every c'ass under the exclusive
direction ofthe civil power , and reiecting the intervention of the clergy ; to increase the number of Deputies and Senators , in the proportion of one Deputy to 40 , 000 souls , and one Senator to 80 , 000 bouIs * , to abrogate certain laws ; and to ameliorate the condition of the poorer classes . " A central committee will direct the efforts of the local societies to influence public opinion and the elections . From a friend at Brussels we have been put in possession of the following communication explaining the distinction and differences between the "Liberal" and the Catholic" party : —
The resolutions of the Congres Liberals are on the wboleaTictoiyof what is called here the young liberals over the old ones ; but rather a slight victory . The proposed extension of the suffrage , if carried out even to the utmost limits allowed ( reducing the qualification of voters to * 20 guilders or 33 s . paid annually in taxes ) would give the rig ht of voting to the petite bourgeoise , or _shoplseeping class , and to some sm aller landed proprietor * . The mass ofthe people uoald remain entirely excluded from representation . The admittance of the capacities , i . e . lawyers , physicians , schoolmasters , and others who have to undergo public examinations and attend the universities , at the above qualification , a measure which the Congress asked for as an immediate necessity , would introduce into tbe Parliament not supporters of popular measures but adrocates of the shopkeepinsr interests .
As to the demanded "real independence of the civil power ofthe clergy / ' this is futile as long as the other measures , are not carried , and then it will follow as a matter of coarse . The clergy are the chief adrocates of the landed _inUrest _, the nobiiity in particular ; the liberals consist of tbe trading capitalists in the towns . The struggle between Catholics and Liberals is tbe same as in England , between landlords and money-lords , Protectionists and Freetraders , it is the struggle of the foion against the _coimtry . If the towns , that is the liberals , pass their measures , whicb , however , they areyet far from , the civil power will naturally ba independent of the clergy , because the clergy are merely the interested advocates of the landlords , and their power will be broke as soon as that of tbe landlords is overturned . The people hare taken very little interest in the whole Congress affair .
A new radical journal printed in the French language has been recently commenced in Brussels with every prospect ef success . The Rebat Social'is the name of the new paper . It bids fair to be a valuable champion of democratic and fraternal principles . The Chartist aud Trades' movements in this country are chronicled in its columns , and furnish the editor with matter for comment iu treating ofthe state of things in England . We hail it as another champion of popular rights , and commend it to the support of the popular movement . Again , rumours are rife in GERMANY .
that the long projected Prussian Constitution is at last framed , and will be immediately published . For ourselves , we will believe when we see . 'The King of Prussia is such a liar that none but asses would repose faith in his most solemn promises . One thing is certain that , if a Constitution is granted , it will be so worthless as to be utterly inadequate to satisfy the popular demands . From our " German correspondent" we have received the following brief but interesting communication which exhibits his Prussian kingship in a new but not very respectable character . He is about to turn swindler on a large scale . He will borrow , and then " repudiate . " We believe a favourite song of his is : — Yankee Doodle borrows cash , Yankee Doodle _spends it , And then be snaps bis fingers at The jollv flat who lends it .
Much , however , ' might be said for the lankces which will not apply to the Royal Pietist of Prussia . Perhaps he will quiet Ms conscience with the moral reflection : — If _humba-rg'd thus the jobbers choose to be , "Wh y let them , since it brings the chink to me , There ' s none so blind as tliose who will not see . Here follows the letter from our correspondent : —
THE _PKUSSIAJf BASK QUESTION . You will probably have already heard that the King of Prussia ' s plan of making money out of paper has been found impracticable . Two of the administrators of the State Debts refused to sign the netv banknotes , as they considered them to be a new public debt , therefore subject to the guarantee of the States-General . Frederick William IX ., to show that he can make as much money as he likes , bas now hit upon a far better plan . In stead of making ten millions , he makes thirty—twenty millions of paper-money and ten of _good , solid gold and silver coin . He proposes that ten ' millions of capital be raised by shares , "which shares it appears shall bring no dividends but merely Si per cent , interest and which shall not be transferable unle 3 s at the owner ' s
deatb , in order to keep them out ofthe reach of speculation ! 1 ! " Now would you call such things shares ? Why not ? His Majesty of Prussia decrees that they are shares , and fosters tbe fond hope that he mil find a lot ef capitalists stupid enough to invest ten millions of dollars in sucb not transferable , leaden , three-and-a-half Dank Stock ! And that at a time , too , when by speculating in railway shares they can make quite another per centage . When the King will have found the parcel of fools he is in want of , and thus borrowed ten millions in coin , he will issue twenty millions in banknotes , making " a sum total of ti ' . irty millions , increase of the national liabilities . Really this is raising the wind with a vengeance . "Raising thirty millions , because one can t get ten . Prom
SWITZERLAND we hear that the new constitution for Berne is nearly cjmpleted . There was a long debate in the council on the third paragraph , which fixes twenty-one aa the age at which the citizens are to acquire the right of voting . There was a minority of sixty-seven in favour of fixing the age at twenty . The democratic cause is , though slowly , constantly progressing in
DENMARK . The king recently published a decree mitigating the several regulations relating to the press . The penalty of imprisonment , inflicted for the publication of political articles in journals not specially authorized to treat of such subjects , is replaced by a fine , varying according to circumstances , from 20 to 220 rk-bank dollars . "When a journal is seized by the police before its publication , the responsible editor cannot be proceeded against ( as has been hitherto done ) , and he will have the right to bring an action against the police for the seizure . Recently the Banish democrats forwarded * io Paris 1 , 000 francs towards the subscription for the Polish revolutionists . There is nothing definite from
ITALY . Rumour assigns to the new Pope the character of a liberal politician and well-intentioned man ; and various reforms are spoken of as being projected by him . A Frankfort journal states that after several conferences between the Prince de Metternich and the Apostolical Nuncio at Vienna , it has been resolved to augment the Austiian force in Italy by 10 , 000 men . There are cheering signs that the Sultan of TURKEY is determined to place himself at the head of a regenerating movement within his dominions . We shall take an early opportunity to speak at greater length on this interesting snbject . The most important news from the
UNITED STATES , indeed ihe nwsiimporiant news of the week , is the SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON QUESTION . Full particulars wiIW > e found in our seventh page . This long pending question is at length settled on the basis proposed by the British Government" the 49 th line to be the boundary , as far as the Straits of Fuca—then down to the Pacific Ocean , with neutral rights to tbe Straits—Vancouver ' s Island to the British—and the navigation , until 1858 , ofthe Columbia river . The Hudson Bay Company to be indemnified for property turned over to the United States . " We congratulate our readers on this happy settlement , nnd trust , that no more vexatious differences will arise between the two |? 0 Teri 1 _" ments , to peril the peaceful relations ot the two _countries .

EARTHQUAKE IN GREECE . Athens , Joins 20 . There has been a most awful earthquake in the south of the Morea , ana the damagesustained by the towns of Calamataaud Nisi , and neig hbouring villages of Micromani , _Aslanaga , and Baliaga , _^ f _*' _" mated at more than a million of drachmas , while a number of lives have been lost . The shock was also severely felt at Patras , and as far as Missolong hi , bnt not in Attica . The ground opened in several places near Calamata , and hot water and sand issued from the clefts . Their Alajesties were at Calamata at the time , and were in great peril from the falling of a wall . Ancient history confirms what present appearances indicate , that the Peloponnesus has suffered from earthquakes from the earliest times , and which have continued to the present period , but for many years past the shocks have not been severe , and not at all frequent .

Murder Op An Infant By Its Moti1eb And Suicide Of The Murderer.
MURDER OP AN INFANT BY ITS MOTI 1 EB AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER .
Jsmchtojj, Luesday Evening. A Shocking M...
Jsmchtojj , luesday _evening . A shocking murder was committed this morning in the Brighton Workhouse , by one of the female inmates , named Norman , the wife ofa man in Lewes House of Correction , who is undergoing a sentence for felony . It appears that the wretched woman had lately complained of pains in her head , and was allowed to remain in bed longer than the other women on that account . She had weaned her infant which had latterly slept with another woman . Shortly before ten o ' clock this morning she requested to have her infant in bed with her . The request was complied with , and as soon as she was left alone with her child she cut its throat and then cut her own .
She ran out into the apartment where the other women were at work , bleeding profusely , and almost instantly dropped , and expired in a few moments . On going to her room the inmates were horrified to find the poor infant ' s throat cut , but the child was not dead . Surgical aid was called in and every means were tried to save the child , but tbe wound was too deep , and the infant died this afternoon at four o clock . The murderer had previously requested that her other two children might be _brought to her , but fortunately they were not in thc way , or they might have shared the fate of the deceased infant . The maiden name of the woman was Barker , and she was brought up b y her uncle , Mr . B . Hammond , of Lime Cottage , Buckland , near Dover , Kent . Her husband is the son of Mr . Norman , of Glynde .
THE INQUEST . The inquest on the bodies of Mrs . Norman and her murdered infant was held on Wednesday morning , at the Brighton workhouse , before S . 11 . Gell , Esq . Coroner for East Sussex . The bodies were ly ing on a bed in an upper story , where the Jury went to view them . Mr . Thorncroft , the assistant overseer of Brighton , was the first witness examined , lie deposed that on the 1 st of November last the woman Norman applied to him for relief . He had known ner husband
for some years . He was at one time a grocer , and latterly had lived at Ringmer . Mrs . Norman said that her husband was a prisoner in Lewes House of Correction , where he was confined for breaking into a house . She did not again apply lor relief till tho Cth or 7 th of April last .

She seemed rather anxious to get into the workhouse at Islington . Wit . ness once asked her what were her views , and if her iriendscould assist her ? and she said she could not possibly bring up her children without a servant , and that she could not do without £ 2 a week . She , therefore , preferred remaining in the workhouse till her husband was discharged from prison . She several times expressed her gratitude for the kiudncss shown to her there . She was of rather superior education . She said she Iliad been brought up in a boardingschool at thc expense of her uncle , Mr . Hammond , of Dover . She said her father ' s name was Parker , and that he had been connected with the Nottingham Mercury , and that she believed he was now in London .
Mr . Rugg . surgeon to the parish , deposed that the deceased woman had consulted him during the last month , and that during the last ten days lie had attended her regularl y . She complained of being nervous and low-spirited . About a fortnight ago she consulted witness as to the necessity of weaning her child .

Cruelty At Sea. At The Thames Police Off...
CRUELTY AT SEA . At the Thames police office on Wednesday , Capt . Wiiliam Graham , the master of the barque Grange , of Greenock , lying in the West India Dock , appeared before Mr . Ballantine _, to answer a charge of committing a series of cruel assaults on William Francis Singleton , the steward , and William Baine , the cook of the same vessel , on tho high seas , on her homeward voyage i ' rom the Mauritius . Baine ' s case was first taken . He stated that on the 20 th of ' April last , lie was engaged with the rest of the crew in tacking the shi p , when the Captain , without any provocation , shoved him from one side of the ship to the other , and knocked him down among the spars on deck . He got up , and told the Captain he did not come on board to be used in that way . The Captain immediately seized bim by thc throat ,
kicked him , knocked him down among thc spars again , and struck him several times about the head and face and blackened his eyes . Tlie Captain then dragged him forward , and knocked him down in the forecastle head , and after putting his knees on liis breast , held bim by the throat till he was quite black in the face , and could scarcely breathe . He _* _2 got up . and on lookins * round him saw William Minor , a seaman , standing further aft . He appealed to Minor , who said he saw the whole ofthe ill-usage . The chief mate then came forward by the Captain ' s orders , anil held _witness by the arms while the Captain again seized him by the throat , and dragged hira aft to the quarter deck . He laid hold of the mizen rigging , and the Captain , after a little struggling , ordered him down into the cabin . He refused to go , and requested
the Captain to make him fast on deck if he wanted to do it . The Captain then made fast a rope to his legs , and , with the assistance of the first and second mates , dragged hira to the companion , where he jumped on him with his feet until lie jumped liim down thc hacthway . He was then put in irons in one of the state rooms , where he was compelled to remain for two days and three nights , without bed or bedding , his only allowance of provisions during that time being two biscuits per day and a little cold water . The ship was then off the Cape of Good Hope . The weatherwasverycoldandhesufferedagreatdeal . All the clothing he had on was a blue flannel shirt and a pair of canvass tvowsers while he was in irons . On the second night he asked the Captain for some bedclothes , and he refused to give him any , but sent
the steward below to shako hia nose , pull his oars , and ascertain if he was tamer . On the morning he was released he went to his duty as usual , and continued to work until the 20 th of May , when the chief mate ordered him to draw off water from the tank below and lill a cask above . While he was engaged upon this duty the captain , who was sitting on the quarter deck , amused himself by calling him a brute , a beast , and a d—d brute , every time he passed him . He answered that he was neither brute nor beast , wliich so enraged the captain , that he seized him by the throat , and after compressing it in a manner wliich gave him much pain , he shook him , and pushed him up against the mizen rigging . After passing the captain with two or three more buckets of water , he was again called a beast , and upon making the same reply , as he had done before the
captain pushed him off the quarter deck on to the main deck . He fell from the violence of the shove , and a bucket of water was capsized alongside of him . lie got up and was going forward , when the captain followed him , and overtook him abreast of the longboat and shoved him down again . He rose once more , and went right forward close to the windlass , where the captain forced liim upon the chain cable , and then peremptorily ordered him into the forecastle . He was descending the hatchway , when the second mate called hira aft , and he was met by the captain , who ordered him to return to his duty . He went down the cabin stairs with a bucket , to fetch more water , and had not got more than halfway down , when the captain jumped upon him with the whole weight of his body , and severely bruised him about the head and shoulders . He called out
" Murder , and was ordered upon deck . As he was coming up the captain repeated his violence . He was sent up and down four times , the captain each time jumping upon him as hard as he was able . On reaching the cabin , and calling out "Murder , " the captain struck him several times on the face with his clenched fists , and then ordered him to return to his duty . He was very weak and disabled from the brutal treatment he reeeived , and said ho could not do any more work . He was again put below and confined in irons for thirty days , and was not released until the ship came into the ( tools , anil was moored on Friday last . During fourteen days of his last confinement , he was only allowed a biscuit and a half per day , and the rest of the time a half pound per day only . The captain , as a further punishment , disfigured him by cutting his hair very short .
In cross-examination by Mr . Pelham , the cook said , he never offered to fight the captain ; he never called him names , and he never gave him the slightest provocation . He was asked repeatedly to return to his duty during the eight days of his confinement , and said he could not , on account of the usage he had received . lie waa brought _upon'deck several times , and the captain said , let the brute beast down to his den again . Mr . Broderip said , it was impossiblefor him to tell what answer there might be , but there was a prima facie case of a series of aggravated assaults , and it was his duty to send it to the Central Criminal Court . He called upon the defendant to find bail , himself in £ 100 , _andTwo sureties of £ 50 each , to appear at the next sessions .
The case of Singleton , the steward , was next gone into . He is an intelligent man of colour , and stated that he had been very cruelly treated . On the 4 th of May he was _^ knocked down by the captain , who drew a great deal of blood from him . Four or five days after that , the captain horse-whipped him with his riding-whip . Mr . Broderip—Were your clothes off or on at the time ! Witness—I had my jacket off , and my shirt sleeves were tucked up . The same day I was compelled to stow myself away in the hold , to prevent hia beating me . Three Sundays before I got in here he knocked me down on the cabin-floor , just after dinner and stunned me . 1 was quite speechless for some time ,
I don't know how long ; and then he called upon the ' chief mate to feel my pulse , and ascertain if anything ailed me . That was after I recovered my senses and got into the pantry . While doubling the Cape , and while the weather was very cold , ho threw four " buckets of water over me . It was raining at thc time , and he deprived me of my bed , and obliged me to sit up in the pantry , and I was shivering with cold . The witness then produced the shirt which he wore when the first assault was committed , It was covered with marks of blood . __ Mr . Broderip said the defendant must find bail in this case also , himself in £ 100 , and two sureties of £ 50 each , to appear at thc next sessions of the Central Criminal Court . The defendant was unprovided with the required sureties , and was locked up .

The Professor Of Chemistry To This Noble...
The Professor of Chemistry to this Noble Institution is at present delivering a course of lectures on the philosophy _ol'heat and cold . These lectures are admirably suited to the present season of the year , as the learned Doctor instead of merely confining himself to the usual routiue of writereand lecturers , on this important subject , treated principally of the matter in connexion with meteorology , and the economy ef clothing . After introducing the subject
The Professor Of Chemistry To This Noble...
by treaty of the various sources of heat , Dr . Ryan proceeded to consider the change of condition produced b y this imponderable in every description o matter . His illustrations in this department of his lecture were most happy and numerous , comprising a condensed description of thermometers and pyrometers , under this head also he explained very simply and beautifull y the theory of ventilation , the caut _* 0 ° f trade-winds and of land , and no _brcezss . ihe lecturer then , proceeded to consider the communication of heat , first , by conduction and convection , and secondl y , by absorption and radiation . Under the latter head Dr . Ryan explained most consisely and satisfactorily the theory of dew , and the cause of its deposition on some surfaces and not . nnnn _ntWa
_Phe Doctor shewed by numerous well appointed experiments , that those bodies whicli absorb heat rapidly have also the power of radiating caioric with great rapidity , and therefore they cool more quickly than Jmore reflectory _jjurfaces . _J Thus the earth and the grass absorb heat in the day more rapidly than the smooth gravel walk . Yet after tlie sunset the process of radiation going on tbo dark surface continue to coel by radiation , until the moisture of the contingent air is condensed into dew . Lastl y , the talented gentleman explained the sensible ami latent conditions of heat , showing the cause of the changes in temperature of bodies produced by the passage of matter from the solid to the liquid , to the acreform state and vice
versa-We are sorry our space will not allow us to report more fully the latter portion of tl ) _i 3 excellent and truly philosophical lecture . In conclusion , Dr . Ryan showed that by evaporation he could easily freeze water , in fact he astonished his audience by _forming a large piece of ice in a metallic vessel at a red hot heat . We understand that ho intends to continue the subject a week or two longer .
The Colosseum. Thc Picturesque And Refre...
THE COLOSSEUM . Thc picturesque and refreshing beauties of this elegant establishment arc particularly grateful during the present sultry season ; and large partib 3 , seem to avail themselves of its unique and manifold attractions at this time . We , have therefore , described these in detail ; but , perhaps , without dwelling , as much as their merits deserve , on tho musical performances , which constitute a very delightful part of each evening ' s entertainment . Tlie organ , on which these performances take place , built by . Bevington and Son , stands in the Sculpture Galiery . It is an admirable instrument , and though not of the largest size is remarkable for the fulness and beauty of its tones , the power of which is ample for tho area of the room it occupies . It is played by Mr . Pitman , whose taste in selecting his pieces , and style of playing them , are excellent . In hearing them wo were
reminded for the first time , of tliose most charming performances on the Apollonicon , with which Mr . Purkis used to delight his weekly visitors . Those now given at the Colosseum will be felt as a welcome substitute by the lovers of good music , who were in the habit ot * enjoy ing thc former . On Saturday , his Highness Ibrahim Pacha visited this splendid establishment . The Pacha appeared much astonished on entering the Glyptotheca at the magnificence of tbe scene it unfolded , and after viewing the Swiss scenery , tho conservatory , the Italian ruins , and the stalactite caverns , proceeded to the summit of the building to inspect the panorama of London , his Highness remained over an hour in the exhibition , In the evening he repeated his visit for the purpose of inspecting the different effect of gaslight on the exhibition generally , and especially on the picture of London . He appeared to be greatlv delighted , and remained till a late hour .

Matty.Ljsbojnl! ' . The All Engrossing S...
MAtty . LJSBOJNl ! ' . The all engrossing subject ( amongst the working classes ) of the " Land , " continues to make numerous audience * . Mr . E . Stall wood , in the absence of Mr , Wheeler , whose attendance was prevented from pressure of business , delivered an able and fervid discourse on this popular theme , now pervading the operatives of France , Belgium , Prussia , and America , for possession of the soil , and the great social advantages springing from the allotment system , wherever adopted , freely quoted the eloquent language of ¦ ' Beaumont ; " thereby demonstrating that it was the only system that could confer peace , prosperity ,
contentment , and happiness , on unfortunate Ireland , and also pointed it out as a " new pet" for tlie " protectionists , " whereby they might avenge themselves on the ** Merchant Princes . " confer honour on themselves , by bettering the condition of their suffering , toiling , fellow countrymen , and earn the lasting gratitude of posterity . The Lecturer next reviewed the _blasting effects on society ofthe Laws of Primogeniture and entail , amassing , as in their consequence they do , wealth in heaps for thc first born , and throwing the younger sons of the Aristocracy for support on the nation , thus creating hordes of useless Generals , worse than useless Admirals , and cormorant persons , swallowing up that wealili which , did justice prevail , must go to feed , clothe , and educate
the tillers of the soil . The Lecturer then passed a warm eulogy on those able writers , Passy , Bt-anmont , Arthur . C . O'Connor , Sismondi , Buret , Guizot , Constant , Dupin , Lay , Blanqui , Mignet , and others , who had so forcibly denounced the laws of Primogeniture and entail , and demonstrated that the only means of effectually breaking up large estates , and abolishing Primogeniture , was the " Chartist Cooperative Land Society , " embracing as it does the interest ofall , and from the smallness of the amount at which the weekly contributions of its members commence was within the reach of all , and as the last balance sheet and report of that eminently successful society shewed it was highly prosperous , _possessing as
it does two estates , with thirty h ' ve cottages , and a certainty of possessing a third estate in a few days , he called on all wishing to leave their country better than they found it , on every one desirous of forwarding the well-being and social advantage of his wife and family , to join the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , * every one desirous of surrounding themselves with peace , prosperity , and happiness would join that glorious confraternity , and when thus surrounded by their happy fellow mortals in social communion , enjoy the great and glorious consolation of knowing that that happy consumma tion was in part the work of their hands . Mr . Stallwood resumed his seat admidstmuch applause .
A Mb . Podwfal rose and said , it was all nonsense to talk of spade labour , where there was only three inches of soil , and as regarded vegetables the people had plenty of them , what they wanted was more animal food . A You . no _AcRicutiuRisr from Hampshire said , it was ju . it in those p laces where the soil was but three inches in depth that the spade was required . He had been employed with a Mr . Forder , on a comparatively baron piece of land , in whioh the soil was only three inches deep-well tliey set to with the mattock and spade , trenched it up—the consequence was , the mould sunk amoDgst the gravel , the seeds took deep root , arid the crops , on this previously comparatively barren soil was most abundant ( Hear , hear , ) thc harvest after this digging and trenching took place , and on twelve acres of ground they had nineteen and a half tons of Sweed turnips , fifteen
tons ot hay , half an acre of potatoes of more than an average crop , thirty seven sacks of onts , half an acre of carrots , and other vegetables in abundance ( Great cheering . ) The LECTURKRsaid , after the practical illustration just given on behalf of spade husbandry , by his friend from Hampshire , he did not think it worth while for him to say one word on that subject , but in respect to the want of ' * animal food , " he would like to know how they could better obtain it , than by getting tke land ; would not the refuse of the " garden , " and the "field , " enable them to keep " pigs , " and would not the " pigs" supply the house with " pork and bacon , " ( cheers ) and , further , there was generally attached to land—runs of commons , or public fields , which with a little aid would support a cow , and the cow would give the allotees a supply of milk , veal , beef , & e . « fcc . ( Loud cheering . )
A vote of thanks was given by acclamation to thc lecturer , a similar compliment was paid to Mr . A . Packer , who occupied the chair on the occasion , and tho meeting was dissolved ,

SOMERS TOWN . T / iEATiircALS _ExTHAonDiNAiiT . —Ifc having been announced in the bills of Sunday last , that Lloyd ' Refuge for Renegades contained the _secontl act of the new drama called " The Poet ' s Suicide ; or , tho Self Destroyer : " by the author of " Base Says and Modern Infamy , _*" * " The _Ijabblimr Fool ' s Feast ; " " General Cobbr _, or the Rebel Viper ; " & e ., & c „ and it being expected that the said production would be put in rehearsal in the evening , at tlio Political Theatre , Tonbriduc-street , New-road , a full and respectable _nudience consequently assembled . The proceedings commenced by appointing Mr . Charles Page as president . The drama ( or rather the two acts already ' nublished , and God forbid that the author
should perform his promise by inflicting on ns any more of hi 3 rubbish ' . ) is ofthe bombastic , pedantic , and splenetic cast . 'Ihe author revels in the basest passions , such _a- _> lying , malignity , Ac . The plot is based on " . the inosi incongruous absurdities and the grossest improbabilities ; tlw language debased and filthy ; and its tendency of the worst possible description . During its rehearsal , it received _urcater attention than its merits demanded ; hut at the close , the dissatisfaction was loud and deep ; and if ever a piece was unccrenmniously damned , "The Poet ' s Suicide" most deservedly shared that fate . Those ofthe audit-nee who were charitably disposed
felt inclined to attribute his ravings to one of those fits of monomania to-which the poor author is subject ; that then dreams of phantasies came o ' er hig spirit , during which things suddenly , change before his mental vision ; ami that while labouring under these delusions they looked on him as a pitiable maniac , and therefore not accountable lor his actions . In _tlicte opinions the majority could not _aj-ree , for as an afterpiece a discussion ensued on the resolutions emanating from our City brethren , when , in order to conclude this unpleasant , withering , and deplorable exhibition , the _iollowimj resolution was ably moved by Mr . Marriott , seconded by Mr . Ghild , and unanimously agreed to ;—
That ive , the Somers Town locality , being of opinion that Thomas Cooper , the Chartist , (?) is an arrogant , incorrigil'le _, ungrateful , und iiyp _^ _i-ritieal liar , we therefore considtr it would sot only he irrelevant hut altogether unnecessary , to call on Mr . O'Connor to stand on a public platform to meet any chargcthat may be brought against him by this affected mid conceited moralist . Jons Anson , Sub-Secretary . CITY LOCALITY . A meeting ofthe members of this branch ofthe Chartist Co-operative Land Society was held in the City llall , Mr . Caughlan in thc chair . The balance shcot having been read , Mr . Witioui moved , and Mr . Uewitsox seconded , tbat it be received . Carried . Mr . Wright moved , and Mr . _Finoc seconded—That the members of this locality have implicit confidence in Mr .
