THE AimZAls , Ko . IX . London , Simpkin , Marshall , & Co . This * Monthly Journal of fee Operative Artemis an extremely -well conducted periodical , and "well fitted apparently to carry eut the views of the contribuors , tjz ., that of elevating intellectually and jaorally the strength aad sinews of Old England . — her toiling , skilful , and matchless arlizins . We speak thus generally ; for we must say , thai in some of the views put forth , and sentiments expressed , there is a sort ofjoremamsm . exhibited , not at ail to our tasierforwe detest lie pride that apes aristocracy ; and that spirit w , we are sorry to say , to be found amongst not a few of the operative classe ? . But a truce to censure . J Tis not our forte . We would much rather praise than blame ; and in all sincerity here is ample room for the most pleasant of criticism , that oF awarding approbation where approval is so iostlv merited .
This jmaaber is crammed with information of the most valuable krnd , to all engaged in the meckaaical , chemical , and fine arts . A mere ennmeraHcn of the Taried contents cf the number would be of do service to our xesders . They " will brst know , and knowing , appreciate its contents , by purchasing the magazine for themselves , which we may remark i 3 sold for oneshiliiEg ; a price low enough , in all eonsciese , for tie mass of beaatifnlly printed matter it contain ? , and the illustrations by which it is enriched . The firs ; article headed the " Arrizan ' s-Institute , " Vfiil be read with much interest . It tre&is of the formation and progress of a society , established some liice bsfore the dose of last year , for th 8 purpose of affording to its members , munml and practical
information on the subjects of their respective trades or professions ; and lor the purpose of fiuding em- _ plot / ment for its unemployed member ? in fore gn countries , " every channel to employment in this country " being already filled up" ! The trades eligible io be admitted into the Institute are arranged ander the three great heads of the mechanical arts , the chemical arts , and the fine arts The subscription to the instiiute is one shilling a moEthj hut this subscription is retnrned monthly to every subscriber , in the form of printed minutes of the proceedings , and other -works of utility ; so' that in reality there is do subscription , only a trifling znoathly purchase . Oi coarse the society has-Borne sources of revenne beyond the above . One of
these is , " that every person promoted to a situation by the Institute ' s instrumentab ' ty , shall assign to the Institute the wagea of that situation for a certain time . The period of this assignment varies with the value of the situation ; ** in the case of a workman , a weeks' wages is the most that is required ; but in the cass cf foremen m superintendents , situations of value , a months' wages may be demanded . " We innst refer onr readers to the article itself for further information . This institntioa is one oi ihe " signs of the times . " It tells of the determined straggles of labour to gain its rightful position by the fores of united mind ; and thus far it is a sign heart-cheering to those who believe with us in the progression of the human race , and the future '' per--fecub-lity ' of mas . Is tells al 30 of the falsa system of political Government , and social arraugemenrs at present exisiicg which hss closed tip every channel lo employment , and driven the
wis 6 < jf head and cunnisg of hand to associate to-j gether to procure employment in foreign lands I And this is a sign that sadden 3 n ? .

remain as firnily as ever of opinion that the whole railways ef th 9 c- ' -untry should be taktn into the bands of the State ; though we should be unwilling to see that measure adopted , unless accompanied by the imposition of such ctecks to venality as would prevent the railway masajemsnt from degenerating into a manufactory of jobs atd plices . Bat pending this consummation , we would direct the attention of out leaders to & different iusTninent of locomotion , which appears capable of counteracting , to a great extent , the tyrannies of the railway system . The appliance to which we allude , is the use of steam-power on the common roads—an expedient attempted to be carried into practice many years aso , but which failed to realize at that time a
successful result , owing to the combined opposition of the fnrious railway mania , then ep . demic , and the imperfections attaching to the various steam-carriages then brought forward . The present juncture , however , promises greater success , &b pnbUc feeling , as well as pnblic opinion , is now beginning to run stedfastly against-the railway system : in addition to which , we believe we shall be able to £ ive a design for a common road steam coach , which , by its freedom from the vices attendant upon tbe plans brought forward heretofore , at once removes all difficulty to be apprehended on that fcoia In short , we are of opinion that the time has arrived when steam coaches on common roads may be employed with success ; and . we are anxious to be the Qtrald of that blissful consummation .
" Before , however , we advert to the particular kind of steam coach we would recommend , we beg to draw attention for a moment to the injuries the railways are it > fi : cting . Tbe tyranny exercised in tbe transport of the poorer class of passengers , after having first wrought the ruin of all other means of conveyance , we have animadverted upoo on other occasions ; but we have not yet mentioned tbe grievous loss and injury inflicted opon tbe humbler aara of towns in Every psrt of the kingdom , by deprivir-g thtm of the traffic which constituted their wealth , and leaving them in loneliness and desolation . Formerly , thousands of coaches intersected the kjcjdom in every direction , scattering wealth and
animation in their train . But now the road , with its fragrant hedge-rows and picturesque cottages , is deserted —the inn , where the coach Btopped , abut up—the livelihood of thousands disarranged , and fond associations broken for ever . Wedo : otsay , be it observed , that if tbe balance were struck between the benefits and injuries of the railway mode of conveyance , the benefits would not preponderate , —though neither would we assert that they did . But our neutrality would only be- afforded on tbe supposition that railways were managed for the public advantage : and when we come to take railways as obey we . we do say , that , in this country , they have been an injury instead of a benefit . "
The writer then states the obstacles which have heretofore opposed the success of steam carriages on common roads ; shews Low those obstacles may be Furmounttd , and concludes by describing the sort of carriage which ( according to the writer ) will be found to answer , and triumph over all hitherto insurmountable obstacles . A plate is given shewing the form of the coach and nature of its working machin * ry . The article headed " The water snpp ] y of London" is one of the most interning and pleasing in
the number . To all Londoners it must be & subject of surpassing interest . If ever mankind coma to their senses , they will look back with astonishment upon the follies of a race that could expena millions of money in gaudily decorating the fronts of shrines of profit-mongers ; building a ' thieves temp : e "—called a " Royal biock Exchange f erecting ench outrages upon true taste as the . Nelson Column , and such disgcFtisg mementos of a nation ' s lo \ e of murder , as the [ intended } monuments to the "hero of Wattrloo " : at the same time dailv consumine a filthv loo "; at the same time daily consuming a filthy
decoction of putrid matter in the shape of , or rather miscalled , water , to the serious detriment of the healths and disgust ef the palates , of two millions of human beings ; and wonder that the money eo uselessly and viciously expended was not employed in procuring the whoiesome springs of water flawing beneath their very feet . The folly of the Pyramids is only repeated in another shape . We give tbe conclusion of this interesting article ;—" Geological science and practical experience prove that the greater part of the rain which falls on the surface of sandy or chalky soils is absorbed , and that it descends until it meets with an impervious stratum of clay or rock , to stop its farther descent .
* ' In an article on A * tminn Wells , in the August Number of the Artisan , we explained the manner in which the subterranean reservoirs are raised above the levels of the valleys , and force out the water when bored into ; bat we believe the instances are very rare , in this country at least , of Artesian wells being successfully bored into tbe stratum of chalk . This may be accounted for by the thickness of the chalk formation ; for the lower part , which reals on impervions blue clay , lies bo deep , that the immense basin of chalk is Kifiirient to hold all the water , without forcing it te rise above the level of the other strata . There can bs little question , however , that the greater part of the rain which falls on tba extended
area where the chalk rises to the surface for many miles , is collected beneath in immense quantities , and is saturating the chalk under pressure . To give some notion of the quantity of water to be collected by drainage , we may state , that assuming the depth of rain that fall * annually to be the low average of 24 inches , each acre would yield £ 06 , 000 gallons j and the drainage of tbe county bf Hertford alone would afford to supply the demands ol twice the whole population cf Qreat Britain -, we may , therefore , safely conclude that the chalk formation under London , which receives the drainage © f many extensive counties , is capable of supplying far greater quantities of water than can be required for the use ef its inhabitants .
" Tae depth to which it would be necessary to penetrate in order to procure a never-failing supply may be ascertained with tolerable accuracy , from the resuits of experitoice . The < Aalk is reached at a depth of 280 feet btiow the levtl ef the river j but to insure an abuEdant supply , it would be uecessary to sink 100 ftfci into tbe chalk , and to drive adits to som ° distance , in various directions , to collect the water . A well ¦ was sunk for a brewery at Chelsea , to a depth of 394 feet , in which the water rose to a height of 200 feet from the bottom ; from which it might be assumed that the standing reservoir in the chalk had been reached , and that the water was under pressure . At Mortlake , in Surrey , an Artesian well was bored 375 feet , 80 feet of which was also through ch » lk , wbeu the boring tool fell into a mass of soft calcareous earth , and the water then rose erstfcallv to the surface . Now , if the
standing lvreX of the water , in the chalk formation , be reacted at those depths under London , there can be no question abont the supply , and one large well would be sefficieDt . The next consideration would be , the means of r-iising the requisite quantities of water from the wells . Twenty millions of gallons per diem , for the supply of half th « eonraicption of London , is four times the quantity of water raised from any ont of the mines in Cornwall by tisfcir Isrge pumping engineB ; but the depth of tte la ' ter is so much greater duty , that the amour .: of engine dv ' y would not exceed that ef the Consolidated Mines . One of tbo eleven pumps attached to Uie Mammoth engine now constructing in Cornwall , for ths purpose of draining the lake of Haarlem , would deliver twice the quantity of water required to be iifted ; therefore the amount of engine power to lift twe&ty millions of gallons from a depth of 300 feet > need not be a serious obstacle to enca a plan .
" The importance of tbe object to be attained should neTir be lost sight of ; and when it is considered that the enterprising cap i talists of New Yofk Honsa expended £ 2 500 000 in distributing a snpply of pnre , drinkable water through that city , frjna a distance of thirty-eight Etiies , the inhabitants 6 f London ought n&t to rest satisfied with the inndtiy , and almost loathsome , liquid with which they are at present furnished by the water companies , whilst an cxisustiess reservoir of the purest water lies under their feet . " But the Artisan has poetry as well as prose . H ^ re is the sentimental " outpouring" of one A . GiAi \ who writes from the Huh of B > aemar ; and aithucgh his poetry is sot qdite iqtjaL io Byron ' s , yet * ve have seen many wore © imitations . Here is A . G . ' s version of
LACHIN Y GAIR . Aw at with the town and its dark duster'd houses i I'm sick of its toilsome , monotonoua life ; I hatb the wild lauthter where folly carouses , And rum i& disgust from its dissonant strife . Hurrah ! through my own native glens I am roaming . ' Hark J the pibroch complains to the spirits of air ; Wbilfc daylight gives place to the pale cues of gloaming , And above me frowns sullenly Lachin y Gair . -Ah . ' well may this spot wake the chord of deep feelings . For here were the days of my infancy pass'd ; Anil hera first I ilrevr Jovs ' s enchanting revealings From my own Highland Mary—my first love—my last . A-d here too ws parted—O hour dark with sorrow ! But youth hsB too sanguine a bosom for care ; From the gloom of to-day angnrs bliss for to-niorrow , So 1 turned with a light heart from Lacain y Gair .
With the wids world before me I walk'd on elated , Tijoush homeless , and , ay , nearly pemiless too ; For 1 fed on the hopes which my loveiad created , And knew the grand secret— To wUi is !• do . So I swore in that hour , if that Providence spare me , With iealth and with strength , I will never despair ; And toil late and early for sake of my Mary , And toon sought my bride at dear Lachin y Gair . Now lAchin y Gait , I am once more reposing On tiy heatn-covered side , where I lay when a boy ; And the eyelids of life , as of day , are fast dosing , Yet my heart , young as ever , throbB wildly with j ° y- : Tbon 2 h many fond fancies of boyhood have perish'd , Like the forms which now melt in tbe soft evening air ; Yet fondly through Treal « nd through "W 09 have J cherish'd Remembracce of thee . my own Lachin y Gair .

THE HULL LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL MISCELLAIS Y . Dibb and C < j . Hull . We have here a new monthly candidate for public patronags ; the first number of which ( for October ) is now before us . A very cursory glance at its contents enables us to speak well | of it , thOHgh in future numbers , improvements , which the jadgment of its conductors will dictate , may with advantage be introduced . Fr-oa a clever written article on ** Meteorology" we give the following extract : — " Whilst a mean uniformity of distance , and of general icfiaence , ( I use tbe term with reference to a known and demonstrated power , ) has been maintained in the planetary system from the day of creation , the
investigation of geelogists have shown that this earth has undergone mutations of temperature and humidity so extensive as no longer to be adapted to the exigencies of the same organic nature . Entire genera and species have been swept away ; fresh and perfectly distinct successions of animated nature have been from time to time created , and in their turn have been destroyed by the varying and important conditions of tbe earth and its atmosphere : even the elementary constitution cf the atmosphere itself has been apparently reconstructed . During the deposition of part of the secondary formation of the earth ' s surface , it was inhabited by various species of the Saurian or Liztrd trite ; from an anatomical and physiological investigation into their
structure these reptiles differ essentially from birds , and the mammalia , iu the less active performance of the respiratory function , and in a lower and simpler structure of the lungs and heart , whereby they become less dependent on the oxygen of the atmosphere for existence . From this and the subsequent extinction of a vast portion of U » reptilian class , tbe physiologist is led to conjecture that the atmosphere bad not then undergone those changes which a subsequent consolidation and concentration of certain of its elements may have occasioned . And again , from considerations of the peculiar features of the extinct Flora recurring in the same formation , the botanist hnB been led to suspect that the atmosphere of this globe formerly contained more carbon , and Ibbs oxygen , than at
present ; yet amidst -these important &nd vital changes , affscting not merely the wall being , but the very existence of plants and animals , lunar and planetary motions have been going on in one continuous cycle , the mean distances preserved unaltered , and their conjunctions , oppositions , and other aspects occurring periodically as at present , and we may be assured that whatever future modifications of the atmsBph&re may be in reserve , whether arising , from astronomical , geological , or magnetic causes , that the same planetary and lunar configurations will be continued , ineffective , however , either to promote or retard tbe great transition : and that when perverted to the purposes of meterological , or judicial predictions , their only effect is to astonish the ignorant , and mislead tbe credulous . "
Here is a specimen of tbe poetry from some line : > n "The Hamber Wolds : " — 11 Sweet bills of beauty ! from your towering brows What lovely landscapes burst upon the sight In rich variety I Afar I afar . ' Oar vision Btr 6 tcb . es o ' er a mingled mass Of kill , dale , water , meadow , corn field , wood , In brightness blending . —At your base lie Plains rich in rural elegance , and fraught With sylvan loveliness . Fair villages , Cots , hamlets , farms in sweet confusion « leam ;
Here Welton hides beneath her sylvan shades , And rural Elloughton 'mid towering trees , And Brantingbam with its romantic dale , — From your first rising nfgh the Humbar ' s Bhore , Where Hessle lifts her village spire on high , To where , with boldsr eminence , ye turn At Cave , laid hidden in its hollow dell , And swetp away in undulating line Far to tbe north , what besutiea ye enclose Bstwixt your summits and the water ' s marge ! A poet's world I * ?
" Is there a portion of the British isles Where nature in more rich profusion casts The choicest of her treasures 1 Where she crowds All her mild beauties in so small a space ? It seems a spot where she has deigned to bind Her fairest wreath of sight-delighting Sowers ; Her richest temple , where she would display The winning softness of her gentle smile , And chain all hearts in admiration's bonds . " Sweet hills of beauty ! be it oft my lot To wander o ' er ye , when the light of morn With yellow lustre gilds your loveliness ; When noon-tide radiai : ca pours its silver tide Of keen refulgence , making all' things seem The brighter visions of a fairy world;—But chief when eve with her unnumbered tints , "SLtt rainbow dyes , her sky-descended hues , Points every landscape , aad brings out to view Sweet lights and shades inimitably soft .. Supremely delicate , Intensely fair . '

CARLISLE—Important and Uangsrobs Legal Decision . —A few days ago , a case of an unc * u . mon and singular character was brought before the Bitting magistrates , John Dixon and John Fawcett , Esquires , at the Town Hall , Carlisle , which excited great interest , inasmuch as it involved a point of law of tbe greatest importance to tradesmen in particular , and the pnblic generally . Jamos Bell , of tbe Wellington Inn , Carlisle , auctioneer , was charged with having , on Satnrday evening , October 7 th , feloniously taken away , from tbe shop of M r . Honry Cohen , gTooerj a cheese and sugar loaf , value £ 1 Us . 3 d ., his property . Mr . John Saul , solicitor ,
conducted the prosecution ; aud Mr . Sibsoii , solicitor , defended the prisoner . Mr . Cohen was about to be examined by Mr . Saul , when Mr . Sibson rose and inquired if the witness wa 3 a Jew ? Witness—Yks , but 1 believe in the If ew Testament and our Saviour . The witness then deposed as foliows : —The prisoner , James Bell , came to my shop between nine and tea o ' clock on Saturday night last . I was at the Spread Eagle Inn at the time , when my shop-boy came for me . The prisoner u . bk > . d me if I had any good cheese ; I said 1 had , and trie 1 two for him , when he asked tbe price . 1 told him 6 d . purlb . He said I raiRht take a halfpenny less for cash ; I told him I wonld not . and he aereed to take one at the
price . My boy weighed the cheese in question , which was 25 J ! bs ., and came to 12 i . 9 j . He then asked me if I had any nice : loaf sugar ? I said I had , and inquired if he liked dark or fine . He said he didjnot like it too fine or too dark . I then shewed him a sample , and he agreed to take one at 9 jd . perlb ., which camo to 19 * . He then told me to make out a biJl for the amount , and I told my boy to do so , which he did in JameB Bell ' s name . 'Ihe prisoner then put his hand into his pocket , and jingled some silver , as if he were going to pay me ; and I was about receipting the bilJ , and had wrote " October " upon it , when some one came into the shop , and I looked
up to fee who it was , when the prisoner took the goods off the counter , alon / j with the bill , and laying down a piece of paper , said-Here is pay for them . " ( The paper was here put in , and was to the following effect : — " I , W . Sibson , do authorize Mr . James Bell , of the Wellingioa Inn , to buy goods for me , not exceeding ten pounds . To Mr . Cohen . ") The prisoner then ran out of my Bhop with the goods . I followed him , and gave him in charge to a watchman . The pri-Eorer never bought anything at my shop before ; nor aid he ever mention Mr . Sibson ' s name , but fasd whea he laid down the paper , — " Here's

pay for the goodfl . " It appeared from a tedious and irrelevant crosa-exambation of the witness onthepari of Mr . Sibson-thai the wituess owed a Mr . bibson , draper , the sum of tea pounds , and he being apprehensive , that the witness was about to makaaa assignmeut , he went to witness '* shop , arid wished to have good ? io the amount of his aooount ; but this the witness refused to do , saving he would pay him in casih . Mr . Sibson , however , not being satisfied , prevailed upon the prisoner to go to Cohen s enop , and endeavour to get some goods for hira , whioh he did ia the raanni > r related in , the evidenoe—beUeving , no doubt , he waa acting a proper part , having had the advice of a solicitor of some eminence . It also appearedteat other parties
, had got , aad attempted to get , goods from Mr . Cohen in a similar way . Mr . iSaul argued the ease at great length , and showed , that as the prisoner Bell had obtained the goods in a fraudulent and deceptive manner , by nsver having mentioned Mr . Sibson a name at all , and by taking the goods out of Mr . Cohen ' s shop without his consent , he had been guilty of a felony to all intents and purposes . Mr . Saul quoted several cases in support of his argument . Mr . Sibsou , on behalf of the prisoner , contended there could be no felonious intention on the part of his olieni , as he had aoted on authority , and had also given up tho property he obtained from
Mr . Uonen to Mr . Sibsou , who had given Cohen credit for it . The magistrates consulted together for a short time , after which Mr . Dixon , addressing the prisoner , spoke as follows : — " We do not think there is ; sufficient evidence to sustain a case of felony , so that we dismiss the ohajrge—at the same time , we must observe , tha 6 you have acted with great imprudence ; and , if the evidence we have heard be strictl y correct , there has dearly been a felonious , intention , made out ; but , taking all the circumstances into consideration , we discharge you with a cautionj that you never again act in a similar manner . "
Murder . —A young woman , named Elizubefh Hetherington , has been committed to prison , charged with the wilful murder of her new born child . She was servant at the London Tavern , EngliBh-Btreet . Tho child was found in an astupit . No doubt was entertained by the Coroner and Jury of the guilt of the wretched woman .

Condition of the Labourers in Wales . —It had been supposed that the peasantry of Ireland were tho most miserable in ; the world ; but faots have come to light ; in Wak-sito show too plainly that hf re too misery holds its court in tbe labourer ' s cabin . The reporter of the Ttmes being on his way to Newcastle-in-Eralyn , says , !¦ " I entered several farm labourers ' cottages by the road side , © at of curiosity to see the actual condition of the people , and found them in mud hovels , the'iloors of mud and full of holes , without chairs or tables , generally half filled with peat packed up in every coraer , the only articles of furniture being a wretched sort of bedstead and a kettle . Beds there were Rone ; nothing but loose straw ar . d filthy rugs npon them . Peat Ercs on the floors in a corner , filling the cottages with smoke , and three or four children huddled around them .
Nearly all the cottages were the same . In the most miserable parts of St . Giles ' s , in no pares of England did I ever witness such abject poverty . Y « t , according to some opinions , this state of misery ought to be one of happiness and content . Were it so the people would deserve their fate . Content to live like swine they would be fitly treated as suoh . But the people , to their honour be it said , are not content with this ! Having the attributes of humanity they aspire jto live like human beings ; and hence their discontent with their present bard condition .

The New Miutarv Cap . —We have heard tho most contradictory descriptions of the New Military Regulation Cap , for which the British Infantry , we understand , is indebted to the inventive genins of Field-Marshal , Prince ! Albert . One of our informants—for we have not had the good fortune to see the phenomonon ourselves—assures as that it bears the closest possible resemblance to a flmer-pot turned upside down in a saucer ; another tells us that it is not unlike thejextinguisherof a bed-candle-Btick ; while a third U decidedly of opinion that it looks just like the church-spire in Langham-plaoe . All parties , however , ! agree in thinking that the illustrious inventor must have had in his eye the cap worn by Mr . Wai lack in the Brigand , just at
the moment when he is making a forcible entrance at midnight through the wash-house window of a respectable Italian gentleman ' s country . villa , and throwing the scullion into fits of mingled laughter and fear at the grotesque horrors of his castor . We trust that this incomparable tile will ba soon in general adoption amodj , ' our infantry ; and that the Duke of Wellington , in { compliment to Prince Albert , will make a point of wearing it at the next review of the Foot Guards in Hydo Park , Imagination cannot conceive a more picturesque aad prepossessing figure than his Grace would cut iu suoh a castor ; those who may happen to remember the head : dress wora by Mother Goose in the pantomime , can alone have any adequate notion of it- As several
bodies of iufantry aro just now preparing to sat out for Ireland , we do most earnestly hope that they will be supplied with $ n Albert cap ; for conceive the inextinguishable laughter that they would occasion among all ranks and classes of Aepeai Agitasoia 1 All fears of collision would be at once puc au end to ; for what body of Imhmen could seriously think of charging such a pack of Sjxoh scare-crow .-, looking as if each man among them had just eloped in a hurry from a corn-fielfi ?

The Irish Spv System . —There is a branch of the police force called the V Detective Force "—tho men belonging to which do riot appear in uniform , but go about in all sorts of disguises—as Jews , sailors , country men , and so forth . The peculiar avooation of these " detective force men" is to ferret out crime ; and as they are rewarded and thought mnoVi of by She commispioners in proportion to tho extent and number of offences they ] bring to light , it repeatedly happens that when offences against , the law do not occur numerously and Jquickly enough to give lull employment to the " detectives" thoy have recourse to the abominable expedient of tempting their victims to perpetuate offences . For example a " detective "
disguised as a " sa > iior , " will offer some contraband tobacco for sale , and having seduced his victim into making a purchase , pounces upon him with an information , and thus profii-s by his treachery . A case occurred a few days ago , where one of thos " detectives" sent his own wife into an improper house where spirituous liquors it is said were sold . She induced the inmates to dispose of some , and was then brought forward by her amiable hu-: baud to prove his charge . Such are the villainous expedients o which the Commissioners of police permi : tho force to have recourse . It . is needless to tay , that a surer mode of spreading dcmoraliziuon in tho force could not be resorted toi ^—Dublin Monitor .

THE PHILANTHROPIST . This . a 9 its title expresses is A monthly journal , devoted to local , political , and moral reform . " Its form is tbat of the Spectator ; its price is 6 d . ; and four numbers nave appeared . Its principles are those of ihe Miall , Cobden , and Stur ^ e sehooi ; t . e . it advocates " Separation of Church and State , " *• Corn-Law Repeal , " and "Complete Suffrage . " It is whhal a most strenuous assertor of the virtues (!) talents (?) aud patriotism (?) of the middle classes It has , however , little of the sectarianism exhibited by other publications , and is deoidedly the most talented of its class ; being well , in some cases eloquently , written . From a sensible article in No . 3 , on ° The Repeal Movement , " we give the following truthful and eloquent extract j —
" It ia a great sight to see a whole nation straggling against wroniz . even though their cry for justice ftaU an articulate voice in tho person of ono man only ; but it is mord truly cheering to watch the movementa , irregular and conflicting , and frequently misguided though they be , of a people roused into action by the workings of their own thoughts ; and such movements , however often they may fail to accomplish the ends which they propose , are the manifestation of Btronger intellectuality , and indicative of surer progress . In the one picture we have Repeal—tbe other is Chartism . Tne one marching onwards with gigautic strides , impelled by a keen senBd of approaching victory—dubious , indeed , though it be ; tbe other broken and prostrate , and self-divided , vet containing within itself tba
elements of ttuer progress ;• for it may well be that Repeal shall pass away and be known no mere but as a thing that has been , or that it may be accomplished and Ireland yet be nnregenerated ; but the spirit of Ctuutism is a creature of . hardier growth . Born in trouble , nuwed io contention , fed by the conflict and dissension of opinions , it has henceforth a necessary existence , and its cry cannot be stifled . Its nature is such that it will secure tho progress of the people , even if destined to be continually defeated ; for its bxisttneo is at once tke remit and the stimulus of intellectual activity , and each : snecessive straggle will necessarily involve the development of new , and the reiteration of old , truths—of truths which cannot die , but must fructify to the end of time .
