Shall these by creeds they can't expound , l ' repare a fancied liliss or woe ? Shall reptiles , grovelling on the ground , Their great Creator ' s purpose know !

How many victims were / or o « ca in these frightful dens is a scerct that will never be revealed . 0 , it was a righteous retribution that doomed the miscreants who were parties to the se atrocities to the overwhelming vengeance , the remembrance of which yet strikes with terror the privileged classes of Europe . May such be the fate of all , in all nations , who oppress their fellow-creatures , and maintain their power by the brutalisation and slavery of the masses . Vive la Revolution ! Appended to these Ch-onielcs there is given , in the shape of an qimle , an exciting story of that famed but mysterious character , the " Man with the Iron ilask" The story as here given is but a frament
g , but the author promises that iu the next series of the Ckromcltsha will bring forward a masaof "incontrovertible evidence , " setting entirely at rest the question as t » the parentage , birth , and history of the " Iron Mask . " That tlie author will attempt to prove this unfortunate man to have been an elder br other of Louis XIV ., f . nJ the rightful heir to the trench tlirone , is evident from the episode here given . Our author represents this cruelly-persecuted being as having been poisoned by the Governor of the Bastile , in the year 1703 . From the thirty pages of this most interesting episode , we can only aflord room for the following extract describing the deatli of
mjn wrrn the iron mask . Having east off the odious disguise which a most inhuman policy had condemned lrim to wear , his features were fully exposed , showing a countenance that once seen could never be forgotten ; it was indeed most noble and imposing ( though now distorted by anguish ) strikingly resembling that of Louis Quartorze , so much so , that the two might easily have been mistaken for each other ; each had the same contour , the same expression , the same n < imUne nose , the same eye , the same full , voluptuous chin , the same broad , dark , wcll-deiinc-d trows , meeting ill the middle between the eyes , and even the same swarthy complexion ; his face was closely shaven—an office that St . Mare performed for him every day—but his hair , once so dark , time and trouble had turned nearly grew
_ "Isyour Highness ill ! " asked St . Marc for the third time , with less trepidation than before . " Drink ! Water ! " exclaimed he , in a faint voice . St . -M : i ! c poured out some into a goblet aud handed it to him ; he eagerly swallowed , its contents . "More ! " cried lie . The Governor replenished the vessel a second time , and a second time the captive emptied it . "When was your Highness taken ill ? " inquired St Mare . "' Twas the wine ! " answered the other . St . Mare shuddered , and his teeth chattered , but instantly recovering himself , he echoed the prisoner's words with as much astonishment as his conscience—or that which licld ihe place of it—would allow him to WUSU'V . " Yus , the . vine ! " returned the latter ; here he carried his hand to his temple , interrupting himself , and exclaiming ; : " 0 , how it burns' "
The unfortunate sufferer attempted to rise to his feet , but his strength failed him , and he fell backwards upon the bed ; St . Mare immediately assisted him up , placing liini ii ! : i sitting posture , . ind supporting iiim in his arms . " 0 , Sicur Governor , " gasped the captive , " I am very ill !" "Your Highness appears so ! " replied the Governor , huskily ; " wli . it can 1 do V "Send—send for—a—a confessor 1 " was the almost inarticulate response , and at the same time the sufferer ' s head fell heavily upon St . Marc ' s shoulder , a spasmodic slm . ' . vler convulsing Ins frame , his hands bfiiiL' nervously clutch' -il .
_ The hoary gaoler did not attempt to move ; media , nicallr raising the captive ' s head , hs feed his eyes upon the distorted ieaturcs , anxiously noting every change that passed over them . An awful pause of more than half a minute ensued , during which the prisoner gasped for breath several times , renewing liis UVorts to speak , his g : izc lieins riveted reproachfully Upon St . Mare ; at length , rucowring momentary energy , he sullenly dissngaged himself from his gaoler ' s ia-asp , and stood upright : but nis eye was vacant and glassy , his mouth pinched up , ami his lips were parched and white ; all at once his jaw dropped ; for a single second lie remained motionless , then tottered , and withaiici-p gurgling groan , sunk heavily to the ground . And Jims the Iron Mask breathed his last . St . 1 ! evc Mood for : i minute or two gazing at the body and having satisfied himself that the last spark of lifeliad Il ' - 'ii , stealthily ouittal the apartment .
At eight o ' clock on the evening cf that day , a ' coach drove into the outer court of tije chateau , from which aiii ' . hted D'Argeason , who , having exchanged a few \ vor . ds wh ! i some persou within , proem ded to the council-chain , tier , where lie found St .

Marc , wi . o became fearfully agitated , though li i strove to conceal his trepidation , whilst Cwbe betrayed no symptom of any emotion , save of curiosity gratified * All atonce Use Lieutenant of I ' olico turned abruptly about , and badi ; Corlw light ilia lire , signing to St . Marc to strip the corpse the while , he himself going round the cell , and , h } the aid of the torch , csatnuung thu w . \ U ? , wlucli tlieprisor . vi had covered with inscriptions of fearful import , and t ' . ie various articles that were strewn about , casting all tiiose that wore CbmbKstible in a hea : i into tlie middle of "Can floor .

" 1 am , Monseigncur ! " replied St . Mare ; "his linen , liis plate , his books , cver . ylhing is here !"

Also the injustice and validity of the l ' atcnt considered , &c ., &c .
flic Dagucn-cotype process , or , photographic ddineaticn of oljecu upon metallic plates , though perhaps the most beautifulof modern discoveries , has made but comparatively slow progress in this country , o \ vin « first , to the fact that certain parties have been pur l nutted to monopolise the working of the process and second , that " Manuals of Photography , " so called , have hitherto been "made" less with ' a viewto teach the art , than , like the Jew pedlar ' s razors , " to sell . " . ' In explanation of the monopoly here alluded to , we quote the following extracts from this Manual : —
England is the only country in the whole world ( the art having been distinctly aud fairly presented by the French Government to the whole world ) where such " exclusive right" exists . # * This " patent , " indeed , will not admit of any justific ation—itis , to say the least , but an « ill return" fov the literal reward so freely and so readily bestowed by the French Chamber of Deputies upon MM . Daguerre and Xiepce—a reward which , in all probability , would never have been extended to them , and their families , had it been foreseen that it would have enabled them to exercise all future power over an invention thus purchased from them . M , Duchatcl , Secretary of State , explicitly assigned as a re-ason for rewarding the discoverers with handsome pensions that "the invention did not admit of being secured by patent , for , as soon as puklishcil , all might avail themselves of its advantages ! " Most certainly the conduct ot It . Daguen-c and bis associates in this afthir is unworthy the liberal spirit which should actuate the follower of
science or of art . * * That a monopoly does exist cannot be denied , and that it exists in a manner both unjust and injurious is equally apparent . # * It was clear that Daguwve taul no vvopcvty in the invention when this obnoxionsjpateiit was granted , as lie had previously and entirely sold it to the l ' rencli Government —and had engaged , in addition to what he then knew , to render public all his futuro . improrcmcuts aud discoveries in the art . AVe deny , in the first place , that he had the power to sell his original discovery in this or any other country ; it only admits of a doubt whether ho might fairly withhold the use of the after-improvements from us until we had paid for them . Bagucrre knows that France-thoroughly purchased his secret , and that while she liberally rewarded him , she offered it freely as a gift to the whole world—a boon to universal science—a donation to the arts—and that she nobly sought to open out a source of amusement and instruction to every class of society .
lnat Daguerrg was really the discoverer of the pvoctss which bears his name is not true . " 'Die discovery was made by JJ . utista Pouta as fov back as 1050 , and was subsequentl y used in this country bv Wedgeivood , Sir IX . Uavv , audSivAxmosv CAm . isuj more than forty years-ago . Again , in 1827 , M . Aiki'ce came to England , and communicated to tlie leoyal Society an account of his experiments , together witn several pictures on metal plates ( now in the possession of JJr . It . lkow . v , of the Hritish Museum ) spontaneousl y produced by the action of light in the camera obscura . Lastly , Mr . Fox Tausoi mav more justly than Dacuekre lay claim lo the actuafiliscovery , not only of the paper processbut of tlie
me-, tallic , as it was well known that in 183 S he had discovered a method of rendering a silver plafe sensitive to light , by exposing it to iodine , anil Dacberre ' s process was not known until August , 1830 , just twelve months afterwards . " Dagueuri ; certainly may claim the merit of having effected ii vast improvement on the original discovery , for which he has been handsomely rewarded . Hut whatever mav have been his improvements , they do not justify the retention of the art in his own hands , or those o f his airents , to the exclusion of the public generally in this country , lie having voluntarily given up his secret to the French ( . iovcrnment , ' who srenerouslv gave it to tiie world at Innrc .
JiUt tins is not all : an attempt has been lmdeby the patentee to prevent scientific men in this country milking use of the improvements effected by them oil D-Mii-ERHE ' s ' . 'discovery . " That attempt , " however , has foiled ; tnc injunction which had been procured against Mr . E « ertox to prohibit him selling the apparatus , was dissolved on the 2 nd of June last , and Mr . HicAun , the monopoliser , condemned , to pav the costs on both sides . For much curious information connected with the monopoly of the BaijHciTcotypc iu tills cor . ntrv , we must reSer the reader to the work itself . That the
patentee should cling to his monopoly is not to be wondered at , when it is considered what , are the enormous profits v . v . uk thereby . In a circular , written by the patentee , wherein lie sets ftirth the many inducements for . a person to buy a license to work tiie process in the country , ho gives the following scale oi profits on the portraits : — Charged one guinea—profit ] $$ . „ Thirty shillings „ ' 2 . js , „ Two guineas „ : { -l . s . ,, Fouriruineas vnj „ r our guineas V X
_ „ exclusive of the charge of os . for colouring each portrait , the cft-f ofuiikh is iiot a penny ! Thc ^ entire ' process of producing DasilClTCOtypo portraits and Photographic pictures is ' fully de ' velo ; : cd in this work , and in sucli plain terms , that he who runs may read , and he who reads must understand . Full directions arc also given as to where , and of whom the apparatus and ncccssarv materials for the process may bo obtained . This little work is very neatly printed , and sold at a price within the mean ' s of all . We remird tlie author . is a public benefactor , and trust that liis efforts to deiirov the monopoly exposed by him may be successful . To that end we have mudi pleasure in recommending this work to our readers .

TO Till : MKMIIlinS OV THE CHARTIST CO-01 'UK . VTIVK .. AND SOCIKTV . Viuksto , -- Despite the malignant efforts o ? interested scribblers , circumstances augur that success must crown our Land project . Indeed , the opposition offered by the luminaries of Ltv . nl ' s has been productive of benefit instead of damage to the movement . It has aroused a s ; iiril of inquirv which has discovered tlie excellency of the plan , as well as ihe ianor . inec or duplicity of its assailants . Tiie rapid progress which the plan has already inado in public estimation affords strong ground for hoping its ultimate success .
_ The principles upon which the plan is ha « ed are so simple ; the advantages which it guarantees are so ample ; the cost at which such , advantages arc to bi > rcaliswhire so trillin ; . ' , that it must commend itself to tliu favour of rtli thinking men . The puny opposition of Hill , Carpenter , " Watkins , etc ., has been torn to shreds by the conclusive reasoning of Mr , O'Connor , lie 1 ms put these valiant kuiglils of the f | uill completely hors de eomku , except Maworm Watkins , who labours week after week to display liis virulence and ignorance . [ Jut the opposition of this driveller , this assassin of honest men ' s characters , is loo contemptible for serious notice . The matter ot wonder is , how his turgid trash obtains insertion in thu columns even ofsitc / t : i paper . as Lloyd ' s . Lot the laehrymoMs Watkins condole with liis friends ( If
ho has any ) : let him mourn over the fact that mal '/ rc ; i ! l his endeavours at obstruction , progression , characterises the Land Society . It numbers upwards of 2 , 000 members , and has one thousand pounds wi ' chi loihud in ils treasury . Watkins may just .-is well attempt to write common sense letters , as impede the progress of the Land Society , ft has within it the elements oS' duvaWVrty ; Us Vmsis is sound ; its oiijcct just . W ' atkins had belter therefore direct his ' di--sjtructivo genius against ; some object pervious to his puny attacks . Two thousand have honoured tl ' . o project with their tonfiilenee ; and I venture to prodiet , that when Vvaikius ami his opposition are both consigned to the tomb of the Capulets , myriads will bless the day on which was ushered into existence the Chartist Co-operative Land Association .
J here is a class of opponents who object lo tie Lund plan from a pjetended love of Chartism . Thev urge t-. atit will detach from the Cluu-tist vauk « ' - that it will divvvl tlie people ' s attention from their political wroiigs . 1 ' or my part 1 cannot discover ativ force in this reasoning . It may be thus put in lo-ic-i ' l form : the people are socially wretched , but ' iho people arc politically enslaved ; therefore , tlm pcoplshould not attempt social melioration till their political grievances arc redressed ! What vapid nonsense ! Nay , what positive cruelty ! Consider the myriads whose lives have been ono monotonous scene of slavery ; whose health and industry has been heaped as sacrifice upun the nlt . \ rs of i'lutus ; aim then say whether : v society designed and calculated not only to in iti gatu Uic vigours of tlicir condition , but to place them in circumstances of comfort and hidependonce , is not entitled to popular confidence and
support . \\ hy the business of life is the promotio :, ot our moral , mental , and physical welfare . ¦ There , then , is a project calculated to realise these ends—a project which may bo carried out without the saerilieeof one iota of principle- ; and yet , men clainiiim tho character of philanthropists give it their determined opposition ! J yield to no man iu devotion lo ti ' . e cause ot' Chartism , or in admiration of its subiimoprincip ' es ; and yet I fee ! myself perfectly justified in advising my brother Cnartists to seize uverv circumstance- which iinjinrs an amelioration of their con-Jitiou . Let v , by the ageiicy of on : Eoeieiv cnilcavotu- ( o obtain as mucii land as possUi ' e let vs give to tiie worh ! an uiideniablo proof of the ble-sin-s whsdiine possession of the land would confer upan ths _ ptr . pxe ; and thus givo a powerful stimulus U > the : rc ! lortst « -aiti those long lost ri < rl : ls , the want of which renders them ihe victims ftfluud-lonls , profitlows , aw , lauU-Iordij .

'" We solemnly protest against this last assertion ; and in order tojustifv ourselves in recording this protest , wo appeal to the most authentic documents , the llincldey Police Reports , where it will be found that for a poor Framework-knitter to be arraigned before the magistrates for being drunk and disorderly , is a circumstance that scarcely ever occurs . At the same time we should feel the greatest obligation to our "Spiritual Pastorantl Master , " ( inasmuch as he is ever "ready to communicate , "" given to hospitality , "" apt to teach , &c ) if ho would deliver a course of lectures upon tho subject of Domestic Economy , which is so little understood and which is so desirable to learn , at the I own-Hall ,.

surest that the subject of the first lecture should bo " How to make both ends meet 1 " awl to show how a man with his wife and four children can live and pay their rent , &c , out of os . tid . per week net earnings ' ? And as our-worth y vicar himself is n " pattern " ' of " all things to tlie Church , " kt him givc us the benefit ot Ins own experience upon these matters . let him give us a few of those valuable receipts that he has so "frequently seen" adopted at home , that we mav be able to " go and do likewise .
