THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW OF BRITISH AOT > FOREIGN POLITICS , HISTORY , and LITERATURE . ^ Edited by Gr . Julian Hakxey . 2 fo . HL , August , London ; E . Mackenzie , 5 , Wine Office-court , Tleet-street Compared with the two preceding numbers of ibis publication ire observe a yast improvement in the appearance of this number . In paper , type , and press-work the Democratic Jleview may now challenge comparison with its most aristocratic and hig h-priced contemporar ies .
The editor ' s address "To the Working Classes "—chiefly on Italian and Hungarian affiurs—is followed by an elaborate exposition of the Hungarian question , showing ike rise and progress of the mighty conflict which at present absorbs &e attention of Europe . This article trill commend itself to every one anxious to be informed of the rights and wrongs of the heroic Magyars . Prom the third letter of " Terrigenous , " advocating the right of all to the land , we give the following extract : —
THE 1 AXD COMMON PKOrERTT . It does not at all matter for our present discussion how or by what means Adam , or any other individual , came on the Earth at first , one iota . It is sufficient for us that he breathed the breath of life on it—that it -was in existence lefore Lini , and exlstin « necessarily for him . What Right had Adam to Occurs—Possess—Inherit—the Ejuith ? That —that—is the question ! Theanswer again can he gummed up in one word , and that word is — EXISTENCE !! That was Adam ' s Bight and Title-deed!—thehighestandonlj one which man can possess or point to , for as
Thomas Pake has forcibly remarked , — " The Creator of the Universe did not open a Land-office from -whence the first Title-deeds should issue . " _ Existence was the ri g ht by which Adam inherited the Earth , Isay . Whyfyouask . Simply because , in the vcm fact of existing he was compelled to occupy the Earth , is the answer . The Earth wa 3 man's place of residence—the place on which" he was to "live , move , and have his bolng ! " Therefore he could not fail to occupy it , for . without this Earth , how could man have managed to have existed himself ? lie found himself upon it , anyway , and could not wellmanagc to set away from it !
It is very evident , then , brother Owners , that Adam naturallv was the Occupant—the Owner—the Inheritor—of the Land—of the Earth , and it is just as evident that scripturaUy he was in the same position . "Be fruitful , and multiply , and replenish the Earth , and subdue it , " the Creator is made to say to our first parents in the 23 th verse of the first chapter of Genesis , " and have dominion over the fish of the sea , and over the fowl of the air , and over every Bvin" thing that moveth upon the waters . —And God said , Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed whichis upon the face of all the Earth , and every tree , in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed ; to you it shall he for meat . —And to every beast of the Earth , and to every fowl of the Air , and to everythinjtthat creepeth upon the Earth , wherein there is life , Ihave given every green herb for meat , and it was so . "
Thus it is obvious , it is undeniably that the act of inheriting the Earth was no voluntary one on the part of our first parent , hut an imperative law of his nature , a part and parcel of his being . It was forced upon him ; he existed in the world , that Vorld wasthemeanBby which his existence was to be carried forward , and mere instinct would naiurally lead , while natural requirements wonld compel , him to obtain , and to use , all that he might find necessary for that purpose . The Earth , Air , light , and Water , and all the products of the world , annual , vegetable , and mineral , were necessary to prolong and perpetuate that existence , and over each and all these things did he exercise ownership , dominion , and control , in the simple fact of his existence hi the world ! This is clear , simple ,
and indisputable . . , . So much for our first parent , Adam . . Now for ins children and then * descendants , even doTOi to us of the present age . Ah ! let us understand their position , and also oar position , it Well ! had not they , and have not we , the same richt ? If mitenceia the world gave the right to Adam , would it not confer upon Cain and Abel , and all then living , the like right ? The question cannot be discussed : it does not admit of any such thin" for it answers itself . As I have before said , in the very fact of existing , the immediate descendants of Adam must , as he had himself , necessarily occupy the Earth , and ^ upation _^ H was possessdominion it ! Thus they
ingk ; and exercising over were joint occupants and joint proprietors or the Soil and all things therein and thereon . And by ¦ virtue of the same law , and for the same reasona , are we of the present day in - the same po sition , let any sceptic attempt to prove the contrary , a challenge him to the task . Thus , then , and itisimpossible that it could be Otherfalse , all men who have lived—all men who do ^ ive ~ all menwlto sliall live—possessed , possess , and shall possess , a similar Right in this req > ect !

LABOUR ' S "WRONGS . The ^ inany " remediable ' evfls-which afflict mankind , and which arei clearly , traceablelto : human causes , invite serious reflection-. -Around us , we . behold the elements of physical and wnfel enjoyment in ' abundance , by a proper combination" / or adjustment * of which , nine-tenths of human misery might be' for ever banished from society . The earth teems with all things necessary to the comfort and luxury of man , and the mighty developments of modern science , together with the wonderful ' appjication of steam power , have extended man ' s dominion of er the raw material of nature to an almost incalculable extent , giving us at die same time a means of transit by sea and land , which enables the inhabitants of the most remote regions to hold frequent communications , " - * A .

and exchangethe commodities peculiar to each country with mutual advantage ; Viewing the progress of mddern . civilisatioh in this light ; we must be struck with wonder , and feel ! an inward exultation , when thus contemplating the stupendous achievments of human intellect . Great Britain contains within itself the . means of producing the solid necessaries and comforts of-life , both in agriculture and manufactures ^ to a far greater extent than the requirements of its population . How is it that with ah these advantages , ; gaunt misery stalks through the land ? It cannot be imputed to . want of genius , skill , or industry . " The immense wealth by which we are surrounded bears testimony to the contrary . From whence then arises the anomalous condition of society , notonly in these countries , but throughout the civilised world 1 Wealth heaped up , and
overflowing , on the one hand ; hopeless Poverty , wretch-: edness , and extreme privation oh the other . In England , notwithstanding the immensity of our manur factoring powers ofproduction , we find the mass of the operatives crowded in filthy lanes- and alleys , and breathing the very air of p estilence , whilst through the cupidity of the owners of those stately mansions which abound in the environs of these pandemoniums , they are reduced to the smallest modicum capable of sustaining existence , until premature ' death , asproved by parliamentary returns , puts an end to their sufferings . . In : the agricultural districts extreme poverty is , the rule so far as the labourer is concerned , and this " , too , whilst the recipients of the fruits of his toil keep princely palaces , and hire troops of liveried lackeys to administer to their vanity and ostentatious extravagance .
To whom , then , shallwe apply for a satisfactory definition of the cause of this , in justice , and whole sale murder ? To the Tory politician ? No . He stands firmly by the doctrine of , what he terms , " Divine Right , " . ' and the irrevocability of the text which says , ** The poor shall never cease out ~ bt the land , " and acts accordingly . Shall we consult the Whig , or Political Economist ? Surely they can solve the mystery . Worse still . They insist that the existing inequality of society is a component part of the natural order of things—that capital is the primary or originating cause of production ; and labouralias , human beings—a secondary consideration ; that it is necessary for the development of civilisation that some men should be possessed of great
wealth , thattheymay thereby he enabled to employ labour , and finally , that the state of prrration which we have been describing , is the inevitable result of a high state of civilisation 111 ' . - Hard , cruel fate ! Is this , then , the inexorable decree of our enlightened rulers ? Are we for ever excluded from the realisation of the sunny dream of youth , and mercilessly debarred that which our nature craves , our noblest impulses pant for , and which the evidence' of our senses proves we can create in such abundance ? Yes , this is the decision to which these immaculate politicians have arrived . They have all agreed that
"the system works well , " and there they leave ustherefore , from them there is so hope . But are there no other teachers , no other doctrines ? Yes , there are other teachers , who clearly show that the doctrines of the parties ; above enumerated are founded on falsehood , fraud , and selfishness ; and who clearly point out the mode by which mankind may elevate themselves from the mire of slavery and ignorance into which they have been plunged . Of these teachers , and their teachings , more hereafter . Future numbers of this Review will elucidate the doctrines , and proclaim the hopes and aims of The Democratic Propaganda .
The admirable article by "A Proletarian Sufferer for the Charter , " on the " Ten Hours Bill , " we have not room to give entire , and it would be a sin to mutilate it ; its reprint for distribution in the manufacturing districts could not fail to be productive of the best results . " Social Reform " is the title of the first of a series of articles intended to explain and elucidate the principles and projects of Louis Biasc . The Editor thus speaks of
XOTOS BLAXC AND HIS ENEMIES . Amon » the present advocates of Societarian progress , no one has won for himself more popularity amongst the oppressed and suffering classes , or been exposed to more bitter calumny and relentless persecution , than the illustrious exile Louis Blanc . Yet the ex-President of the Luxembourg is by no means a violent , or even sweeping revolutionist . Looking at the schemes of popular amelioration suggested by him to the delegates of the ouvriers , we are surprised at the moderation , rather than the radicalism of his amis . Communist he is not ; and if it be proper to designate him a Socialist , certainly his Socialism is of the mildest kind . Let' it be understood that in attributing moderation to Louis Blanc ,
we do not attribute to him the policy of those political impostors who conceal beneath the guise of moderation the most selfish passions , and heartless designs against their fellow-men . "We mean that in the face of the terrible evils he has made it his mission to co nfront , he appears to us to bo , as a reformer , gentle and moderate indeed . But his moderation has availed him nothing : had he been the fiercest of revolutionists , he could not have encountered more of persecution and misrepresentation than it has been his lot to suffer . Honesty is his crime 1 The privileged classes know him to be sincere in his advocacy of the cause of the poor , and , therefore , they and their minions persecute and revile him But the people will award him the crown of a well deserved and imperishable fame .
The following is from the pen of Louis Blanc : —
EVH . S OF UNLIMITED COMPETITION . Xeius suppose , for a moment , that inventive genius had risen to so grand an elevation as to supersede all human toil by the action of machinery ; and let us trace the consequences of such a discovery , first under the associate system , then under the existing competitive regime . Under the former system , excluding as it does the very idea of privilege , of monopoly , of patent , and dividing wealth amongst all , the general substitution of mechanical for manual toil would have hut one result : that , namely , of conferring upon all men equally emancipation from muscular toil , leisure for the culture of their intelligence , and opportunity for the enjoyments of science and letters , of poetry and the arts .
Under the competitive system , on the contrary , which abandons every one to his own unaided force , which bears on its standard these savage inscriptions , " Success to the rich and skilful I Ruin to the vanquished ! " and which makes every discovery : the exclusive property of one , or of a few monopolists , what would be the consequence of superseding human labour by machinery f The consequence ? I shudder to contemplate it ; three-fourths of the population would perish by starvation ! . Yet , considered in itself , the invention of a machine calculated to diminish or facilitate human toil is an incommensurable benefit . How happens it then that , under the present system , the discovery of an improved process sometimes reduces thousands of operatives to sudden destitution ? Is it the fault of science , of genius , of machinery , which would subordinate the powers of Mature to humanity ? No .
Ifc is the fault of a system so absurd , so vicious , that it perverts in their developement the germs ofgoqd , or chokes them amidst a rank undergrowth of evil . —Gould it he thus under a law of universal association ? Can genius he conceived as a source of disquietude in a society governed by the principle of general solidarity ? Genius ! ah , its very grandeur consists in its devotion to entire humanity ; and if now it deseonds to furnish arms of combat to the cupidity of monopolists , it is because a false principle of society has debased and perverted it . In explaining how competition engenders poverty , I mig ht have exhibited it condemning rival workmenio dispute with each other an insufficient employment , and to sell their labour at a discount in order to obtain the preference ; thus depressing wa * es and restricting consumption , at the same time that it stimulates production to a disorderly and excessive activity . . -
But this Lamentable p icture would want its darkest shades should I forget to add that , in creating misery , competition also engenders immorality ; Tar who , indeed , would venture to deny that misery is the cause of theft ; that misery , - engrafted on ignorance , hatred , and despair , nerves the assassin ' s arm ; that misery drives into the streets those legions of miserable women , who drive a hideous traffic in simulated love ? . \ ,, : And thus we behold the very constitution of society engendering hatred—violence—enry ; and placin" nations in t his deplorable alternative , either to submit to oppression from above , or to be perpetually disturbed by assailants from below .
KosSTjitfs latest proclamation , calling the Hungarians to—one and alU-take up arms in the Anti-Cossack crusade , most worthily finds a place in this publication . Finally , a notice of the late Ciakexce Maxgan , the Irish Poet , ( including specimens of his poetry , ) closes this number of the Democratic Review . ' .

Brothers , we call our journal " The Spirit of Freedorii , " but what freedom can we bring you ? after fifteen hours hard work , what can we accomplish to set you free ? the spirit that burns and effervesces within us , is exhausted in feeding the physical energies ; the soul seems drowned ; . the mind is unbent ; and he we sit striving and writhing , far in the midni ght , vrith ' throbbing heart and burning brain ! We would speak words of hope and courage to you for whom our hearts bleeds ; we would strike tyranny to the heart mid its palaced . magnificence ; but ah ! brothers , this overtoil is crushing the best impulses of oar nature , and we feel that clay is' rotting away and taking the place of soul , day by day .

Plain speaking , and no mistake ! The next article'by John- Rymill of Northampton , headed with the significant question : "Why are we-poor ? " partakes of the same sledgehammer character ; witness the following : —
THE POOR km THE RICH . ; ¦ England's true ; nobles are poor . They have coined the wealth of England with their sweat and blood , their labour has frei g hted-our ships ;\ with wealth , they man our ships , they navigate every sea , they plough the land , sow the seed ,, and gather in-the harvest ; and yet these nobles ' of their country dragon a miserable existence on starvation diet , or perish in Union Bastiles ; millions have actually died of want ! While this is the terrible fact , working men , shall peace reign in the mansjonof the rich and profusion still crown their boards with plents 1 shalltheir halls be filled with lordly guests
and echo with the drunken shouts and ribald jests of their midnight ; revels ? shall' they fatten in the sunny smiles of fortune , and their lives glide serenely on without a moment ' s care or eloud ? ' . No ! by heavens ! this must not be ! There shall bo no peace in . the palace while poverty , starvation , and death , remain the poor man ' s guests!—for every poor man pale with want , there shall he a rich one pale with fear ! Working men , the true nobles of our land must no longer be poor , —and , if there he any persons starve , it shall be the fat . idle drones ; they will not work , neither shall they eat—they deserve to die I

morrow some unaccountable fantasy pervades our teelmgs , and we are uneasy and disturbed—a g loom is on our spirits , and a thousand prognostications . of danger seem to hang around us—prognostications too often the forerunners of evil . Can the subtle essence of which the mind is . composed receive impvcssions , and be subject to sympathies which-the bodily senses are not cognisant of , though they ti-emble uneasily beneath their influence ? Will the doctrines of Mesmcr , or the marvels of Clairvoyance ; yet lay bare the mystery of these positive and nega : ¦ too poles ini the ^ electric atmosphere . of the human heart ? Arthur Morton , occupied in his daily duties at the residence of his employer , or superintending the management of his propertyin - theinland portion of . the ^ island , was fast recovering , from the . spoil which the charms of Lady Baldwin had cast around him
; her welfare was still dear to . him , and it was with no common feelings of regret that he heard of her increasing languor and debility , still no violent emotion raged in his heart ; it was a calm ' and melancholy regret ; but suddenly his feelings experienced a complete . revolution—hw mind was wv anxiety—nightly did he ride to —• that he mi ght inquire relative to her welfare—covertly was he compelled to do this to avoid the suspicions of Sir Jasper—with alarm he heard of her voyage and removal to Mount Pinto . "lWtless and uneasy , he obtained a few days leave of absence , and morning ' s dawn saw him on his way to the residence of Lady Baldwin ; he knew not his own motives or objects , but he longed to bo near her , once move to gaze . on hei features ere the cold hand , of death for ever shrouded them from his view . His ride was through ' a lovely part of the high grounds of the island ; the breeze from the seaward played delightfully on his heated cheeks—the music of the birds
and the murmurs of the waterfalls disturb not the current of his thoughts—hours rolled by , and wrapped in his reverie he heeded not their fli ghtthe - sun beamed forth g loriously , and the breeze fainted away beneath its influence—the music of the birds was hushed ,: innumerable insects filled the air , and * his horse gave evident signs of weariness , still Arthur rode on , indifferent alike to all around himfilled with uneasy forebodings that he could neither repress nor account for . His horse suddenl y stopping at A ' sugar mill in the valley into which he had now descended , recalled him ' from his reverie , and the surgeon of the plantation , with whom he was slightly acquainted , received him as his guest until the rising of tho sea breeze spread its delicious odours and welcome -coolness"around , and wooed him again to recommence his journey . Nightfall found him atMount Pinto , passing by the mansion of Sir Jasper ; he rode to the adjoining negro village , and prior to retiring to rest wrote the following note , which he despatched to Lady Baldwin in the
morning : — " Dearest Ladt , —Impelled by feelings I cannot control , and alarmed by g loomy forebodings that I shall never again gaze on thy angelic face , I have come once more to worship the sun of my existence ere it for ever sets and leaves . me in pitiable darkness . Pardon my presumption , heed not my forebodings , but admit to your presence the companion of your childhood . —Arthur Mobton . " Keclining on . p illows on an elegant sofa , in a small but lofty apartment , lay Lady Baldwin . Oh ! how changed from the Julia North of former days ; her languishing eye , of Heaven ' s own azure , looked glazed and dim ; the rose and the lily no longer contended foi mastership in her lovely cheeks , but an ashy paleness supplied their place ; a sweet smile
still lingered on her countenance , but like a rose blooming amid snow , it seemed to mark still more strongly the desolation by which it was surrounded . Two days have elapsed since Sir Jasper returned to his residence . She was perfectly unconscious of the hallucination she was labouring under during the voyage , and the physician had thought it imprudent yet to inform her of it ; her mind seemed calm , and to have recovered its former tone . Like the JEolian harp , it was mute and passionless , now the breath of Heaven no longer p layed around it . She is not alone , two attendants are with her ; one is sprinkling the matted apartment with a decoction of orange and lime flowers ; the other , an English girl , seated near her mistress , is reading aloud'from a splendidly bound book , it is a novel by Washington
Irving—she hears m a kind ot trance , tor though its appeals to the heart . are beautiful and impressive , hers feels them not , it is preoccupied with the romance of its own creation . A gentle tap , is heard at the door , it is opened , and the note of Arthur is presented by an attendant . Slightly does the lady iremble as she recognises the hand , for though his last letter was speeoify sacrificed to a souse of dut y , yet the characters are still present to her memory ; the contents of the note are quickly devoured—love and duty arc harshly conflicting , but love assumes the mastery , and the . attendant is dismissed with a note addressed to Art-bur , containing the simple words : — " Come and see me , and . let me bless you ere I die . " What an impression did ; these words iwnie on the sensitive spirits of Arthur Morton .
With feelings of almost religious awe and respect did he enter that quiet'room , —the English servant still remained : in attendance , —he rushed towards tho fragile form of the loved being before him , sunk at : her feet and wept bitterly . . : ' Weep not , dearest friend / " exclaimed Julia , " I am happy . Oh ! so happy . I hare had a Ion" and fearful dream , but your presence has dispelled it , and I shall die in peace . " " jDearestlady , talk not of dying . Live ! oh live long- ! to bless and cheer the hearts of your friends . M y life is bound , up with your own , I couldnot survive you . Oh ! think of the hours of happiness we have spent together in our native land ; think of tho years of happ iness that are yet in store for you , — young , beauteous , and blessed with every virtue , you cannotmust not die !"
, " Dearest Arthur , companion of my youth , why should I wish to live ? Life hath lost its every charm , —my parents are no longer near me , and my brother hath treated me , oh-2 how wrongly , —my husband is kind , very kind to me , but I cannot return his love as I could wish . The only good on earth I could crave fate has denied me , and I would fain sleep and be at rest . Death hath no terrors forme . Ihave loved all mankind , and though I have been injured , yet do I forgive ; they meant kindly , may they be all more olessed and more happy than I have been . One only grievous wrong have I committed in allowing my heart to love another than my husband ; for , Arthur , Ihave loved you—dearly loved you . Woman ' s pride would fain mvfi concealed it . but in these my last moments
love is stronger than pride , and your image and your thoughts mingle with those of God and Heaven : and she burst into a torrent of tears , while Arthur clasped her- convulsively to his breast . " I know it is an error , ' she resumed , " hut it is an involuntary one , and one that I cannot regret , though I trust that Heaven will deal mercifully with it , and that no part of the punishment will be visited on you : " and she sunk overpowered and exhausted on the sofa . Arthur , gazing on the lovely wreck before him , was unable to g ive utterance to his thoughts , —his heart was buvstingwith love—wild , passionate lovewhich he felt it would be almost blasphemy to utter to the dying angel before him ; he sobbed audibly , and wildly pressed her hands to his heart ; slowly did he reeover his calmness , and Julia once more rousing herself , and easting on him a- ook such as a
dying mother might give to a beloved child , said : " Dearest Arthur , come bid me farewell ; I know that I shall no more . see you iii this world , Ifeav my senses have been wandering , but I thank God I have retained consciousness to see and bless you ere I depart . I shall confide to my husband this our last interview , if I see him ero I die—ho cannot , will not , blame ; us . Kiss ine , Arthur , —it is our first and last kiss of love . ; may you be happy and prosperous-as you deserve to be , and when sadness shall cloud your soul sometimes think of me , and if the spirits of the departed can again revisit ; this earthly sphere I will , in those moments , hover round and console you . Adieu ! Adieu !" Wildly , passionately , did Arthur press his heated lips to the icy cold ones of his beloved , and with eyes blinded with tearsj and frame trembling with emotion , ; he gazed his last on his ^ first love—the beauteous arid-lamented Julia North .
Reader , hast thou ever loved ? Hast thou through sorrow and bitterness remained true to thy heart ' s first devotion ? and when the blest consciousness has burst upon you that your love has been reciprocated , have your hopes been dashed to despair by the hand of'death—the cup of joy turned into bitterness , and its very dregs poured into your . soul ? if thou hast experienced tins , then canst thou comprehend the feelings of Arthur Morton . " True , his love was unhallowed ; neither reli gion nor custom would have sanctioned its indulgence ; but when did lovo succumb : to earthly ties—opposition but rivets its chain—it needs not the world ' s approbation to fail it into flame—it lives on its own elements , and burns ! the fiercer ' the ' more it is frowned upon . The enemies of Chartism assert that it is a coarseand vul gar doctrine , and that it s advocates are destitute of refined feelings or imaginations ; poor slaves of prejudice , they know not what they assert . Chartism is the offspring of imag ination ; the feelings Dili W wo gd . bQfore reason , will summons judg-

ment to its assistance , and never was a cause more hallowed by refined feelings , by chivalrous devotion ; and disinterested purity , than the . , Chartist ca use . These feelings are the true essence of love ; Arthur Moi-ton is a type , a representative of his class—inheriting all their enthusiasm , inspired by all their devotion , and partaking of all their errors—wonder not , then , at his love , or that his love was unfortunate .

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . Destructive Fire at BnocKWELL-nAix , Brixtox . —On Sunday forenoon a fire , which continued to buMimost furiously for upwards of ei ght hours , broke out upon the premises belonging to ' Mr Joshua Blackburn , known as Brock well-hall Water-lane , Bnxton . The flames commenced in one of the newly-erected ricks in tho homestead which contained upwards of fifty loads of hay . The head gardener , it appears , was the first person to make the discovery by seeing " smoke pouring forth from the centreof the stack ; In order to satisfy himself that the property -n aa on fire this person descended what is technicall y termed the " manhole , " where he found the heat so intense as tonearly overpower him . JTe , however , managed to crawl
through , tho . middle of the burning property , and had just succeeded iii gaining the gmridI park when immense bodies of flame ' s " shot forth from various portions of the rick , whence the work of devn station extended to an adjoining rick containing about twenty loads . The highly inflammable character of the material cauBed the flames to travel with surprising rapidity , and before . information ' could be forwarded to town for the assistances of the engines ; ho ' flames wero mounting ; so high into the air as to be distinctly visible at sNorwood , Dulwich , and Kingston . An express having been sent to London for assistance with all possible expedition , the engines of tho Brigade and the West - of England Company attended , as well as that belonging to the
parish ot Camberwell . ' Plenty of water haviii " been obtained from a pond in the park , the engines were set to work , but , in spite of tho utmost exertions of the-firemen , upwards of eight hours elapsed ere the flames could be mastered , and not until a serious destruction of property had taken place . Whether or not Mr . Blackburn was insured could not be ascertained , in consequence of that gentleman being with his wife and family out of town . Alarming Fihe at a Tavern . —The family of Mr . 0 . Sayer , of the Horse-shoe and . Wheatsheaf Tavern , Melina-street , Western-street , South ' wark , had a narrow escape from being destroyed by . fire on
luesday morni ng ^ Shortly before two o ' clock smoke was seen issuing from the lower part of the tavern , and an alarm was g iven , but on the inmates attempting to descend the stairs they found them on fire , and the smoke was rolling upwards in such bodies as to drive them back . Having made their appearance , at an upper window some ladders were procured , when , with the assistance of two persons working on the railway and the police , the whole of the parties were safely rescued . Tho engines of the parish' and London brigade wove remarkably early in arriving , and the flames were soon extinguished , . but not until ¦ considerable- damage was done to the whole of the premises and their contcn fcs . How the disaster originated is unknown .

Burnino o p a Ship . —A postcript of the Bombay Times of the 25 th of June , contains the following account : —A little before ten o ' clock last night the report of guns in the harbour led to the belief that the overland mail had arrived . It turned out that these were signals . that the ship Lowjee Family was on fire . Boats from the different steamers and merchant vessels around immediately put off to the assistance of the burningship : but notwithstanding the exertions of their crews , by midni ght the flames had made rapid progress in the work of destruction . By two o ' clock she was nearly one mass of flames , and it became evident that all hope of saving her was past . She was accordingly left to her fate . The middle and after part of the shin
continued to burn with great fury , and shortly after two the flames reached the forecastle , when the unfortunate vessel presented one of the grandest sights imaginable . She was in flames from stem to stern , immense columns . of smoke rising from the burning mass , and the whole sky was illuminated for a considerable distance around . A little before ' three the upper portion of her poop fell in , and added increased brilliancy to the flames . A few minutes after that hour her mizen-mast went over the stern , and was followed almost immediately by the mainmast . At four , when we went to press , the foremast had just fallen over the lee bow—the bowsprit appeared untouched . The hull near the stern and amidships was burnt down to within a few feet of the water ' s
edge ; the sea was apparently making its way into the vessel at the stern , and the flames were rapidly consuming the fore part of the ship . It is likely she will continue to burn yet for some , hours , unless a sufficiency of water gets into her to sink her—which is not unlikely . The Lowjee Family belonged to Messrs . Forbes and Co ., and Messrs . B . and A . Hormusjce , She was of 1 , 070 tons burden , and was built at Bombay " in 1701 , being thus fifty-eight years old . She was to have sailed for Calcutta on the 1 st of July , with a cargo of salt , and 'from thence to the Mauritius . We cdtild not learn how the fire originated ; it was first discovered in the orlop deck ; her crew are , of course , Lascars ; they had received , it is said , four months' wages in advance a few days since .
A VESSEL FOUND IX TIfP BRISTOL . ClMY-VEL WITII the Crew all Dead . —A few days ago a vessel was discovered in the Bristol Channel , near Cardiff , and , when boarded , the crew , consistingof four men , were discovered to be dead . The vessel turned outto be the Yoyageur , of Kernie , Captain Lcmeui , bound from Bordeaux to Roscoffand Morlaix , with a cargo of wine and brandy . Beyond these particulars , which we give from the French paper Le Commerce , there exists not a single duo either as to how the vessel got into the Bristol Channel , or as to the cause of death . The conjecture is that they were poisoned by eating fish , while another opinion has been thrown out , that they may have been suftbcated by the vapour from a wood or charcoal fire . — Monmouth Merlin .
Recovery of a Vessel Sdsk in the River . — Some weeks back a slo ' opi called the Providence , oi Rochester , whilst riding about half a milebelow the Mouse Light , was run into by a steamer called the London Jlerehant , and . sunk , since which time several attempts have been made by the Shoerness boatmen to recover the , hull , in which they succeeded on Wednesday , and she now lies much damaged on the hard ground near the p ier .

A Precocious Bride . —Delays are Daxoehous . —On Saturday morning last , a couple , apparently fawn servants , arrived in Carlisle by one of the east trains , on their way to Gretna , intent on being enrolled in " Hymen ' s bonds . " Upon arriving in Botehergate ,. however , ' the : bride was suddenly seized with illness , and , accompanied by her husband inprospectu , repaired to an -mil to partake of refreshment . They had not sat long before the worthy hostess ( an experienced matron ) was fully convinced that the lady was in the state that " ladies wish to be who love their lords , "—in short , close upon her confinement ; and by her directions the aihng lady was forthwith removed to a neighbouring lodging-house , where to the utter astonishment of the bridegroom , the ' expectant bride in less than ten minutes gave birth to n fine male child .

The Progressionist . Kb . IV ., New Series . August . London : "W atson , Queen ' s Headpassage , Paternoster-row . " Rome , Hungary , and England , " is the title of a -withering denunciation of the Eussian , Austrian ,, and French tyrants , and a no less eloquent appeal to British sympathy in hehalf of the Italians and Hungarians . The following extract will command the applause of our readers : —
THE GLORIOUS FIGHT IN HUNGARY . Gallant Hungarians and heroic Poles have unfurled the banner of Republicanism , and are nobly fighting under its immortal standard . They have banished the tyrants of Hapsburg Lorraine for ever . They have thrown off the yoke of Austria , and as men determined to be free , they have flung to the wind g their jealousies and fears , and fight the forces of Austria and Russia , and are gloriously successfut . Yes , they are triumphant—they beat back the orthodox troops of the bloody old monater , Nicholas ; and I hope that the Hungarians will finally drive back the Cossack hordes of Russia , and : annihilate the forces of Austria . But I must acknowledge that I sometimes have my fears , and I ask you . my
countrymen , whether the base , hypocritical / canting old devil of Russia shall be permitted to trample over the freedom and independence of Hungary as he has over that of Russia ? Shall he be allowed to lacerate the wounds and tear the bleeding-heart of- Hungary , as he has done with that of Poland , and that of Circassia ? Had I a million tongues , with every one of thsm I would still say , NO ! And if there be any faifch , any love or courage in the heart of nations , they will , in terms not to be mistaken , thunder—KO ! I have hopes of Hungary . What say you , my brethren , wiU you second the efforts of Kossuth , Bern , Deinbinski , _ Geor » ey , and the gallant Magyars , and cheer on your glorious Hungarian brethren in their struggles againsUhe cut-throats of Russia and of Austria . Awake , arise ! he up and doing ! stand forth in your giant might—make common cause with your Roman and Hungarian brethrenassemble in your countless thousands—marshal your
forces in every city , town , village , and hamlet in the kingdom—speak out like men , and let the thunder of your might shake the senate-house of Britain ' , and go forth with , the speed of lightnin ? , and with a force surpassing that of . tho mighty avalanche annihilate for ever the leagued brigands of Hapsburg Lorraine and Russia . England should do her duty . ; , she can do so by making common cause With Rome and Hungary . We could dothemgood service . We have ships rotting in our harbours , solditra idle in their barracks , oceans of gunpowder and cartridges , plenty of mortars and howitzers and cannon , and tens of thousands of muskets , swords , and bayonets which we could employ against the darksouled tyrants that are in-Rome and Hungary . Hurrah for Hungary ! May heaven defend her , and may the . tyrants of Austria and Russia be for ever annihilated ! God grant it for Thy mercy ' s sake . Amen ! John Rymill . Spring-gardens , Northampton .
