XOUIS BLANC'S MONTHLY REVIEW . The New World of Politics , Arts , Literature , and Sciences . By Louis Blasc . London : I . C . Newby , 30 , Welbeck Street Cavendish Square . 2 ? 0 S . lH and IV . of this valuable periodical contain a number of admirably written articles on "The Situation ; " " Socialism as a Project deLoi ; " " The Budget of Calumny ;" *' The Peace Congress ; " &c . ; also a valuable historical review of that first of the unfortunate -days of the Revolution of 1848—the " day of dupes "— the 16 th of April ; the first of a
" Course of Lectures on the History of Socialism ; " an address " To Mechanics' Associations on the necessity of Solidarity ; " and an elaborate and powerfully written essay inscribed " To Women , " on the questions of "Family" and " Divorce . " We have not space to spare , or we should contest the principle laid down by Louis Blaxc in his comments on the proposition of Kapoleon Buonaparte for the repeal of the laws exiling the Bourbons . We will merely observe , that generosity to tyrants and the spawn of Mngs , is injustice and cruelty to the people .
The following article—though hy no means the best—has the advantage for us of befog Inief , and also of applying to those miserable Peacemongers against whose cant and humbug we have protested , and shall continue to ¦ protest , on every fitting occasion : — THE PEACE COXCRESS . Every one knows that the great fear of Malthns was the increase of population which , according to lus calculations , increased in a geometrical proportion . It is well known , besides , that , to his eyes , the poor were supernumerary guests , for whom Mature has provided no seats at the banquet of life .
It teems , then , that those belonging to that School ou ^ ht not to regard -war as so frightful aseourge . When people thinkthatpoverty cannot be suppressed , it seems that they ought to resign themselves to those great bleedings which now and then war inflicts upon mankind , llalthus , who was a good logician , without being a wicked man , would sot , I think , have joined the Peace Congress . Also have we been not a little surprised to sec that the Congress was imagined by the principal disciples of Malthns . If Socialists had taken that initiative , nothing more simple . It is but natural that , to those who work for the triumph of the principle of fraternity in the world ; to those who
look upon misery , not as a merciless law of nature , Trat as the effect of a bad social organisation ; to those who are convinced that the earth can nourish all its inhabitants , and that it is the business of the genius of man , war should appear as -what it really is in most cases , that is , an atrocious folly . Uut it will be asked , perhaps , why the Socialists have not taken that initiative . Why ? It is because they are not so Utopian as they are thought to be . They who reason , do not put the cart before tho horse . They understand that before you suppress armies , you " must suppress kings , to " whom armed jtHvlctairai are indispensable to keep down j > rolc-Zairss without arms ; and who ,-besides , have clout to acquire in battles .
It is a pity that at tue moment when Nicholas was about going to pacify Hungary , the gentlemen of the Peace Congress did not induce him , by earnest and good reasons , to desist from that intention . Can any one believe , but that the Emperor of Hussia should have hastened to accede to so sentimental a request ? Uut we never think of all things . "We are sorry we must find fault , not with
lows Blaxc , but with the editor of the English edition of the New World . In an article entitled " Public Opinion and Socialism , " \ riiich contains many truths and sound sentiments , some strange errors find a place . Having informed his readers that " public opinion in this country , is the most absolute tyrant that evey swayed over society , " the editor proceeds with the following astounding statement : —
Tiie present government ! animated as they really are with the most sincere anxiety to offer adequate remedies to existing evils , their efforts are constantly baffled in public opinion , and unable to contend with ifcs insuperable weight , they now and then offer to the world those humiliating exhibitions of subdued justice and rights , submissively giving way to the imperious bid of the blind feeling of a misled people . We deny , point blank , that the present rulers of England are animated by a sincere desire to reform existing evils . We deny that in the work of real reform they encounter , ¦ would or could encounter , opposition from the Beople , described as " misled , " and ani-¦ * * _ _ — <• - mm - ^ 1 T i . 1 assert that
matod by a " blind feeling . " We , on the contrary , public opinion is ever hnmeasurablv in advance of the Government . We should * like to sec a list of the reforms which have been proposed by the Government , and rejected by the " blind feeling" of a " misled " people . They would , indeed , be the curiosities of statesmanship , and we fancy would be found to be about as substantial as the dawcr which Macbeth saw . If we are reminded that , in the matter of Education , the Sectarians overwhelmed the Government , we answer that the sectarians triumphed , because the G overnment did not propose a veritable measure of reform , which , had sucn been
proposed , would have rallied public opinion w u » Sde of the Government Shdl we be reminded ofMaynootli ? We answer , that Pun ^ n Zeal" was very properly supported by Public Opimon—adverse to all endowments of the Priesthood . Pnblic Opinion desires no State Clmrch-and , therefore , consistenfly opposes the addition of another State Church Establi shment On the other hand , Public Opinion is at this moment demanding ParhamKr Reform , Financial Kefonn and a SK tlxer reforming mea . ur ^ pohfa ^ l g d social Will the Government-happy to find

Public Opinion so advanced—come before Parliament next Session with the measures called for by the public voice ? Nothing of the kind . The initiative in the work of real Reform , so far from being taken by the Government , is always opposed until a sense of danger forces concession to the popnlar will . Amongst other " pictures of the English " as they are—not , we find the following : — The lower classes of England are nurtured into false judgments and sentiments from their cradle , and an enlightened education not being at hand to dispel those prejudices , they carry them to the threshold of their tomb , and leave them as a lamentable heritage to their posterity .
The" fewer classes" is hardly a term befitting a Socialist publication . That great ignorance exists amongst the Proletarian classes of this country , is too true ; and it is to be regretted that , in that respect , they are too much , like the masses elsewhere—witness the fruits of Universal Suffrage in France . This much , however , we will say , that—thanks to their comparative intelligence and true liberality—the admirers of Lotos Blaxc number at least a thousand to one in the lower classes , as compared with the middle and higher classes . Here is another erroneous
statement : — An Englishman is taught from his infancy to regard his nation as the first in the world the wretched historical compilations placed in his hands strengthen that vanity , which rendered excusable from undeniable grandeur , might prove harmless , were it not for the exclusive selfishness it imparts to the heart and mind . This may be true enough of a great number of Englishmen of the higher orders , but it is not true of the people as a whole . We are persuaded , that in no country in the world is there less of national egotism than in England . The English " lower classes" have outgrown that folly . In support of his censure of
English egotism , the Editor of the "New World" asks : " Who has not been struck on the Continent , with the profound disdain , the grave supineness , with which English tourists seem to regard everything they see V A Socialist should be too just , too well-informed to set up English aristocrats as representatives of the English people . Other errors we might notice , but the task is an unpleasant one , and we forbear . If "F . 5 . Trehonnais" is a native of the Continent—his ignorance of England and the English is excusable . It is , nevertheless , to be regretted that his errors should mar the good work in course of performance by his chief . Louis Blanc .
We think we observe in the article by M . Tkehoxnais , indications of an attempt to make socialism " respectable , " and acceptable to the " higher classes . " We warn our friend Louis Bianc , that any such attempt will seriously damage him in the estimation of the "lower classes ; " a consummation we should unfeiguedly deplore . As regards the writings of Louis Blanc himself , we can only repeat our heartfelt desire that they may reach the hands of every labourer in this country ,

A Letter to Messrs . Be Tocqueville and de FaVoux . By Joseph Mazzini . London : Printed for the Italian Refugee Fund Committee , and published by C . Fox , 67 , Paternoster-row . This is a neat repr int in pamphlet form of Mazzixi ' s magnificent philippic in defence of the Roman Republic , and exposure of the crimes and falsehoods of its assassins . The following extracts we shall fitly entitle : —
THE B 3 IGAXDS AXD LIARS tNMASKED . The number of" foreigners" who assisted in the defence of Rome , was from 1 , 400 to 1 , 500 men ; from 1 , 400 to 1 , 500 men amongst a total of 14 , 000 ; for it is vjdl tfiat Italy should know that 14 , 000 men , a young army without tradition ? , and improvised under the vay fire oftlie enemy , held in check for hvo montits 30 , 000 soldiers of France . You know all this gentlemen , or you could have known it , and therefore you ought to have done so ; and nevertheless you shamelessly gave out to the assembly the number of "foreigners" as 20 , 000 , as a proof that after all it was not the Roman idea that 3 ou had endeavoured to stifle in blood : and upon tliis cipher of your own invention depends the greater part of
your argument . Foreigners ! I entreat pardon of my country for having inscribed the word , after you , upon my page . What I Lombards , Tuscans , Italians , foreigners at Rome ! And is it by you , Frenchmen , by you who , in re-establishing the pontifieial throne , have been supported by Austrians and Spaniards , that this reproach is made ? A year ago our provinces sent the elite of their youth , to fight upon the plains ufLombardy as to a convention of honour ; but I do not remember that Radetsky ever called them in hi 3 proclamations foreigners . The absolute denial of Italian nationality has been reserved for the nephew of him who at St . Helena uttered these words : — " Unity , of manners , of language , of literature , show that Italy
is destined to form a single country . " The accusation of violence , of a reign of terror , directed against the republican government , is an accusation to which the lie is now solemnly given by the facts of our defence . The armed enthusiasm of the whole people is not to be commanded by terror , and you are compelled gentlemen , cither to calumniate the -value of the Trench arms , or to confute your own statements—to declare that a few factious individuals were not only able to restrain a population of 160 , 000 souls , but also , for two months , to contend with and often to conquer your army ; or , in order to preserve yourselves from the stain of imbecility and cowardice , to confess that the government , the people , the National Guard ,
and the army of Rome , were all united together as brothers in the common idea of liberty , and of war to the enemies of the republic . It is necessary to speak of this , so that , at least , you cannot repeat the absurd accusation without others being able to reply " yours is a premeditated lie . " Pass by the assassination of Rossi , which has been so often and so hypocritically cited . The republic inaugurated on the 9 th of February 1819 , has no occasion to exculpate itself from a deed which occurred on the lUtU of Sorciuber , 1 S 4 S , when the princely party , the moderates , the partisans of Charles Albert , possessed the field , and drove away , or condemned to absolute silence , the men of republican faith . Ifo one in Italy accuses your revolutions of having had their rise in assassination , because the Duke of Uerry fell bv the
dagger , and five or six attempts at regicide succeeded each other in the space of two years in Paris . Mark the facts which , in every time , and in every place , accompany every system supported by- violence . During nearly five months of republican government can you , gentlemen , point out a single condemnation to death for a political offence ? " A single exile , founded upon political suspicions ? A single exceptional tribunal instituted in Itome to udge political offences ? A single newspaper susr pended by order of the government ? A single decree directed to restrain the liberty of the press anterior to the siege ? If so , point them out . Point out the laws originating in a system of terror ; point out the ferocious band of whom you speak ; point out the victims of our rule — or resign y ourselves to be branded as LIARS .
In one of our declarations we said , " The republican banner raised in Rome by the representatives of the people does not represent the triumph of one fraction of citizens over another ; it represents a common triumph , a victory gained by the many , accepted by the immense majority , of the principle of good over that of evil , of the common right over the arbitrary rule of the few , of the sacred equality which God has decreed to all over privilege and despotism . Wo cannot be republicans without being and proving ourselves better than the overthrown powers . . ' . We are not the government of a party , but the government of a nation Xeither intolerance nor weakness . The republic is conciliating and energetic . The government of the
republic is strong , therefore fearless" In these lines were summed up the republican programme ; nor was it ever violated by the men who ruled our republic , as yours has been . O ministers of France ! And Te were strong , strong in the love of the good—the bad amongst us are but few ; strong in the common consent of the citizens , and with a strength differing widely from yours , gentlemen . We had no necessity , in qrder to maintain ourselves in power , to place the capital in a state of siege , to dissolve i } ie national guard , to fill tlie prisons , to exile ( amongst others ) t ! te rqwesen ' iatives of the people , to condemn to traiwportation Aicnd « ds of viorhina men ,
and to surrottnd ourselves by cannon and soldiers . Our capital was cheerful and happy under the weiffht of sacrifice which sudden changes must always impose upon a state ; tranquil and seveno when the presence of your army under its walls mig ht have provoked the malcontents , if malcontents were to be found in Rome , to acts of rashness . Our national guards furnished upwards of 7 , 000 men for active service within the city and on the walls . Our prisons were all but empty of political offenders . Two or three individuals strongly suspected of intercourse with your camp , two or three individuals taken in the very act of conspiracy , and

an official , Zamboni , guilty of desertion , were all who were under trial when M . de Covcclles visited tho prisons . The five or six prisoners , Freddi , Alai , and the rest found by him in the Castle of St . Angelo , were there by order of Pius IX ., and for the plots against his government . The men most averse to the republic , a Mamiana , a Pantaleoni , walked _ free through the streets of Rome . We reminded the people who mistrusted them that the republic , superior to the dethroned power , held opinions to be inviolable , unless manifested in dangerous acts ; and the people , generous by nature , and from a consciousness of power , understood and respected this : nor was there any danger for such men , until we could no longer interpose , and the |
spectacle of your brute fovca wvit&tedtta multitude to reaction . Owing to the impossibility of keeping guard round the whole circuit of the city , several of our cannons often remained acessihlo to any one , and without a single soldier to guard them . And thus it happened on the 16 th of May , when our troops moved on the side of Nilletri against the army of the King of Naples—when from 5 a . m . until midni ght the city remained without a single soldier and entrusted solely to the people . The French troops were at a little distance from the walls . The few guards left at tho palace gates vere withdrawn , as they were wanted elsewhere . The affection of the people was our safeguard . Neither thennor at any other timeamidst tho
, , evils of an inevitable financial crisis , in the midst of physical pr ivations inseparable from the semiblockade which your forces extended around us , alike under your bombs as under the corruption which your agents and those from Gaeta endeavoured to excite—not an attempt at insurrection was made by those whom M . Drouyn de Lhuys insolently calls the honest ones ; not a single voice arose to say to us descend . Faction ! terror ! M , if you ministers of France , retained a shadow of sham you would , on looting around , and thinking of the fears and violence by ivhichyou rule in Paris , have studiousl y avoided these ivords , from the fear that others would read Hure your own condemnation . And if the Assembly before which you snoke had not
been irreparably corrnpt and inaccessible to the love of truth—if the members who supported by their votes your foreign policy , instead of servilely following m the track of the power of the moment whatever it might be , had had any system in their minds , however different from ours , or had been actuated by any faith—a hundred voices would have arisen to say to you , "Be silent , nor dishonour our aims by open falsehood , mat ! your first decree in Rome is to establish the council of war for political offences ; on thebth of My you dissolve the clubs , yon forbid all meetings , you Uireaten exemplary punishmtnti to protect persons having friendly relations with your troops ; on the Gth you dissolve the civic guard ; on the 7 th you command the complete disarming of the
cihze ) is—on the lith you suppress the journals—on the 18 th you fulminate tlireats against any meeting composed of more than five persons ; all these your acts in the midst of a population which you declare to be favourable to you and which comes officially announced to us by your journal , are exactly those which we , upon your word , believed to have taken place as part of a system of terror in Rome under the republican government , and of which we do not discover a trace in their decrees ; and yet you impudently persist in throwing out an accusation against them , which must recoil upon yourselves , and you boast yourselves the restorers of liberty in peace and order . "
And this state of things still exists ; exists two months after your triumph . The prisons ave choked with men , for the most part guilty only of bavin " obeyed the ruling power , and pointed out by spies to priestly vengeance . Upwards of fifty prisoners are confined in the castle of St . Angelo , guilty of having lent their services in our republican hospitals . Even the subaltern officials in the police are not spared in Home , and are ferociously condemned to the galleys for life . In Terni , in Bologna , in Ancona , in Rimini , young men guilty of having a musket in their possession have been shot . There is not perhaps in the Roman States one family in five , one of whose members is not either an exile or a prisoner . Tho of
men the solf-called moderate party—the men whom , when entering Rome , you declared to be rightfully there , are through you in exile . Mamiami , Galeotti , Father Ventura are exiles . Your work is one of destruction , equal to that accomplished by the monarchy in Spain , in 1823 . Would that you had at least the brutal courage of the monarchy ! But false interpreters of an idea which is not your own ; secret enemies to the banner which you have publicly sworn to serve ; conspirators rather titan ministers—you are condemned to wrap yourselves round with hypocritical and premeditated falsehoods Falsehood it your fundamental assertions ; faheJiood in the particulars ; falsehood in yourselves ; falsehood in your agents ; falsehood -Iblush in saving
it , for France , which you have at length brought so low as to soil ftei traditionarg honour—falsehood in ute generals of your army . You have conquered by falsehood , and by falsehood you endeavour to justify yourselves . General Oudinot LIED when , in order to deceive the populations , and to smooth for himself the road to Rome , he vilely trafficked in our affections for France , by keeping the Italian tricolour , which he knew himself about to overthrow entwined with the French flag at Civita yecchia until the 15 th Jul y . He LIED impudently by amrmmg in his proclamation that the greater part of the Roman army had fraternised with the French , when the whole staff of the army protested and resigned , when only 800 men ( at the present time dissolved
even they are ) accepted the proposed conditions of service , lie LIED AS A COWARD when , after having given his solemn promise in writing not to assault the city before Mondaij , the 4 th of June , he assaulted it on the night of the Sabbath . The envoy Lesseps LIED , -when induced by a culpable weakness , partly redeemed by the hope of remedying the evil , he reassured us by continual promises of aconclusive treaty , and conjurinc us not to attach importance to the movements o * f the French troops , dictated solely by the necessity of satisfying the soldiers , who were impatient of repose , whilst in the meantime you basely took advantage of our good faith to study unmolested our defences , to strengthen yourselves , and to OCCUiiv unexpectedl armistice
y , during an , the strategctical point of Monte Mario . M . de Corcelle 3 LIED when in contradiction to the declaration of the Roman Munici p ality , to that of the foreign consuls and to the testimony of a whole city , he declared that Rome had never been bombarded . The bombs fell for many nights , and particularly from the 23 rd to the 24 th , and from the 29 th to the 30 th , most frequently and injuriously upon the Corso upon the Piazza di Spagna , upon the Babbuiuo upon the Colomia Palace , upon the hospital of Santo Spiiito , upon that of tho Pellegrini , and in other places . You LIED , M . de Tocqueville , when relying upon the ignorance of your majority , you boasted a solitary fact in history of the choice of the point towards the Parta San Pancrazio , for assaulting the city as it for the greater safety of the people and their habitations Rome offers at the gate of San Paolo and at the
gate of San Giovanni an open country , whilst the gate of Saint Pancrazio is surrounded by tho people and then- houses ; the gate of San Paumzio was chosen because from there a communication with Civita Yecchia could be kept with less risk and because whilst from the other points it would bo necessary to descend lo a battle with the people and then- barricades , which you rightly feared from that of San Pancrazio , the Janiculum dominating Rome offered the opportunity of conrmcrmg it , not by . a war of men , but . of bombs and can-KTur , ;^ A ^ L LTED - from him who IS THE FIRST AMONGST YOU TO THE LOWEST OF YOTIft AGESTS , to its , to thS £ sembly , to 1 ranee , and to Europe , when , from the first day of the nefarious \ indertafcing to the last , you have repeated promises of protection , " of brotherhood , and of liberty , that you had already determined to betray : In the following sublime language , Mazzixi predicts
TIIE FUTURE . The Roman Republic has fallen ; bulits right lives immortal , a phantom titat will often rise to disturb •! m d''ca . * - -And it shall be our care to evoke it . The political question is intact . The Roman constituent assembly , by declaring that it yielded solely to force , without entering into any condition , or becoming a party to any unworthy compromise , took from you every basis of legal action . We have not capitulated . Rome ' s right exists as strong as on the day when the republic was first inaugftrdted . Defeat has left it unchanged . The vote of the populations , legally and freely expressed , remains a normal condition of life , from which no one can . now retreat . You dare not deny that right ; in all that
has passed , you have but s ought to weaken and to render doubtful its expression . And the defeat of those whom you falsely denominated as factious , removing , even in the opinions of those who believed in you , every obstacle to the free voting of the population , has rendered the right of voting more urgent and more sacred . For us , for those who feel with ' us , the right of Rome has deeper root and other hopes than those which are merely local . The roots of Rome ' s rights embrace in their ramifications the whole of Italy : the hopes of Rome are the hopes of tho Italian nation , whose re-awakenin ? neither vou nor anv
other s veto can prevent . God decreed that , awakening on the day when all monarchical delusions overcome one by one , when all false ideas of leagues and federations which an erroneous doctrine had tried to implant amongst us had been expiated l > y martyrdom , tho Italian national instinct raised within the ancient capital the banner of national unity , ' aud declared that God and the people ' shou'ld" henceforth bo the only masters in Italy . Rome is the centre of Italy : the palladium of the Italian mission ; and the city in which broods the secret of our future religious life can patiently endure the brief delay which your arras hive unexpectedly caused to the developement of Us destinies .

SUKSITOJE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . nr THOMAS MARTIN WHEELER , Late Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company . Chapter XXXIII . But lovely is a woman ' s soul , And e ' en when sorrow spurns control , Its selfishness she smothers ; And Mary , though perchance tho dart „ Dad ; entered deeper in her heart
Ev n than her husband ' s breast ; yet cherished The thought that in Ms grief had perished , The thought , the sympathy for others ' . So , roused at moments-from her bow'd And brooded sorrow , she surveyed , Alarmed and anxious , tho strange cloud That o ' er her husband cast its shade . Too pure , too guileless to-discover The barb and mystery of his soul , She dreamt not she beheld a robber , la him compassion would console .
But oft , when Mary with her sweet And her delicious beauty , Btole Athwart his presenco—seemed to fleet The demon from her husband ' s soul ! With a fixed and charmed eye , . And a quick and startled sigh , Would bis panting heart pursue her ! As if to use the fairy words—That Passion tuned to fancy ' s chords-He yearned to meet her silvery feet , His soul to pour unto her .
Yet sometimes e ' en her magic failed , And a darker power prevailed , Then a cloud came o er his air , Or a swift and angry glare In . his gloomy eyeball glittered , And low words he strung embittered , By the passions of a breast , Roused—a tempest from its rest . Lytton Bulwer . Arthur reached his desolate home , if an almost empty garret in a filthy Metropolitan alley deserves to be recognised b y that name ; his wife Vfaa anxiously awaiting his return ; no cheerful blaze illumined the grate—no candlo shed its pale ray around—she sat by the remains of what had once
been a window , gazing vacantly on the roof of the opposite house , and listening to tho rain as it pattered en the tiles , and dropped heavily on the remnant of the pavement below ; grief was heavy at her hcavt , —the enthusiasm which once glowed in her bosom was for ever chilled , —misery had dimmed tho beauty of her countenance , and the voice that was once melodious in the song , and the step that was once so light in the dance , were now sad and heavy , their harmony and elasticity had for ever departed ; with sensitive frames the volitions of the body depend greatly upon the temper of tho mind ; continued sorrow acts as an opiate on the body , chilling and benumbing its faculties , until tho soul departs from it , and tho mere mechanism
remama , injured—disfi gured and bereft of its pristine vigour . Intent on her sombre meditations , she heard not the footsteps of her husband , and his intoxicating accents were the first harbingers of his return ; he threw down a quantity of silver on a box contaimning their scanty wardrobe , which served them for- a table , and bade the astonished woman fetch wherewith to eat and drink ; in utter astonishment slio silently obeyed , and tho poor outcast threw himself on the bed , and was soon lost in slumber . The wife , in her innocence , imagined , when sufficiently collected to think upon the subject , that he had applied to some former acquaintance and procured this timely supply ; and of the handful of silver which he had scattered on the box
but the smallest modicum was expended , and she epeedily returned with a loaf and the necessary ingredients for making tea , and was followed by a . boy bearing a small quantity of coal and wood . With unaccustomed cheerfulness she was soon busily employed in preparing this frugal meal ; the child , their darling Fanny , was awakened to partake of the welcome treat , but the husband still slumbered , and the poor wife , though longing to partake Of the smoking beverage , was unwilling to disturb his slumbers . O the patient virtues of womankind , how they shine when compared with man ' s selfish engrossments ; never does sympathy with the distress of . others forsake tho breast of woman ; never does their own grief make them callous to the
teeiings ol their lellow-sufterers . For upwards of an hour did Mary wait in patience tho period of lier husband awakening , unwilling to lose the pleasure of his participating with her in their cheerful meal , and Arthur , when he awoke , was parched and feverish , —the conflicting emotions of his mind , and the unusual quantity of liquor ho had partaken , caused him to feel lassitude and depression , and to Mary ' s inquiries relative to his possession of so much money , he replied , that he had found the purse in tho street , and that delirious with joy , he had partaken of brandy , and becoming stupifiod , had not yet examined his prize ; he then handed her the purse , which she took without the remotest suspicion of the truth of the narration , and emptyin "
its contents , found , to her astonishment , upwards of twenty sovereigns , in addition to the silver she had previously received ; this was indeed a perfect mine of wealth as compared with their previous indigence , and though Mary spoke of the loss it would be to tho ownoi , yet she felt no scruple of conscience in applying it to satisfy their wants , but seemed rather to regard it as a kind gift of Providence to remove them from the temptations of misery . Arthur , pleased with tho success of bis slvatasem , and anxious to avoid further questioning , pleaded illness , and was soon in tho world of visions , but jov kept Mary long awake ,-a thousand ways had ' she to consider liow tho money mi ght bo mo ? t advantageously laid out , until the b ' itter reflection came
over her that had this treasure been theirs but a few weeks - earlier her lost Avthuv might still have been nestling in her bosom , and tho vain regret bedewed hov pillow with bitter tears , and movo than balanced her provions pleasure . Joy and sorrow ave so mingled in the cup of human existence that the sweets of the one are oft neutralised by tho bitters of the other ; seldom indeed can wo empty the chalice ' of its divine necto but the poison hivkin" in its dregs wsiduously mingle with tho draught , and the balm is turned into gall . A week has elapsed ; they have removed from their former filthy abode ; the pawnbroker has been visited , and ' they aye again clad in decent apparel , and Avthuv bein " now enabled to appear in the face of day has re ceived the
promise of a situation ; tho glow of health begins to appear upon their hasjgard cheeks , and Mary s spirits rise proportionablv with their improved prospects , but it is not so witU Arthur , ho L ™ T the cvon-sp J rited character of ow mi t ? h ~ 'V S ht sooms hanging upo * his mind , winch ^ 11 the endearments of Mary serve not . to . remove ,-he had ascertained , by a report in some newspapers which he had . borrowed to look at thqadvevtisoments , that the man he had robbed was Walter SortI ) , Esq ., who that day hud been created Lord Maxwell ; the particulars were too minutetno time and place too accurately engraven on his memory-to leave him a shadow of doubt , that tho mewl of his earl -the brother of his once
y years adored and lamented Julia—had been the victim to his necessitie s , and the knowledge of this fact imparted additional uneasiness to his mind ; ho mor"idly conceived that he had trampled upon the memory of his lost love , and insulted her in her crave by committing ; this outrage upon her brother ; he knew not to the full extent how treacherous that brother nail proved to her , —ho dwelt only on the insult to the aeau , _ and even fancied he could hear her upbraid him with it . Conscience , what cowards thou dost make even oftlie strongest minded , until familiarity with crime , begets indifference , and success or punishment alike has
taken off the novelty of the first plunge into the turbid waters of criminality . The man whoy driven b y stern necessity , has committed one crime , is harassed by vain vcmorso during the remainder of his- existence , whilst the man of many crimes is hardened and indifferent ; but better far to our ideas of religion and morality is tho victim to one great and solitary crime , than tho man of the world , —the respectable villain , whose whole life is a series of meanness and hypocrisy , unrelieved by magnanimity of any description , —true , ho evades tho law and . " the law ' s justice , but ho is none tho loss a villain , —the gold that ho accumulates may be encrusted with the gore of his starving victims , —

the respectability of which he boasts may be based on the ruin and prostitution of hundreds , —the blighted hearts lie has trampled upon may bo nckly strewn about his path , —but he recks it not , he world smiles on him , he has no remnant of natural religion in his soul , and he knows no remorse ; with demure and sanctified countenance lie worships m the templo of his God , and boasts , with the i liarisee of old , " that he is not a sinner like other men well might the glorious Byron sing , " Oh ! lor a forty parson power to sing thy praise , hypocrisy . Arthur Morton , driven by poverty to crime , endured more mental anguish from this one unruarded aet than he had ever oxporioueod during ma many and appalling privations : in vain diri
reason piead r that though lie had broken the convontions of society , yet had he but obevod the first ; reat aw of nature , self-presemtion ; that the cold ie had stolen through life , and wealth to him and us family was but an atom from the store of hi 8 ormer schoolfellow , —an atom that would have > een dissipated in vice , or squandered in frivolity , — 1 }? . \ ertu cless haunted him like a spectre , and cast a 8 U 11 darker shadow over his dreary fate , and yet he was no victim to religious fantasies ; it was no supernatural terror that prostrated his mind , it was lus high sense of rectitude—his pure feelings of morality—which had been broken and disturbed , and the wound bled the more inwardly from its outward concealment ; and when timethat great
, opiate to all cares , had modified his feelings of regret , and restored somewhat of serenity to his mind , in the irregular impulses of his after career an astute pyseolist might trace the workinsr of some secret crime which had deranged the balance of his mental faculties , and threw its perturbing influence over his conduct . Oh ye sages and philosophers who affect to trace the hidden springs of the human mind -to metuM its strength and its weakness , iu growth and its decay , and to outrival the religion of old , —have ye no balm to bestow on a wound like this ? is their no restorative in your mental pharmacopeia for a guilty conscience ? can ye not compete with the priest and the confessor , and speak peace to the shaken mind ? can give no
absoluye tion to the erring but repenting mortal ? if not , vain is your craft . T . he grand impostures of former times were more in accordance with tho feelings of trail humanity , —more soothing to the hopes and aspirations of the bleeding heart than the stern wisdom of the present day , —they , with all their seeming pride and austerity , felt more nicely the pulse of the great human heart , —dived moro minutely , into its hidden intricacies , and restored its beatings to a more healthy tone than all your boasted philosophy can effect , —hence the ascendancy they gained over the minds of men .-hence the vast empire they erected in the human soul , the rums of which still strike us with awe and wonder
Ust fragments of a mighty fabric , destined , perchance , under a new phase , and with the lights of a new experience , to again regain the empire of the mind , and , Colossus like , bestride the portals of the soul , making puny the crafts of the present ago ; for what is Communism but a new organisation of the anointed fragments of the gigantic past , —a fresh breathing into the dying clay of past existence a resurrection of the soul of decaying humanity , divested of the grossness and impurities of its former material being ? in a word , a new earth created from the ruins of a former world , —purified by tho fire of revolution , and rendered sacred by the blood and martyrdom of its founders .

LYCEUM THEATRE . An elegant adaptation from-the French , by Mr . Charles Dance , was produced on Tuesday nHit under the title' of Delicate Ground . A Republican legislator of Franco , in 1 * 793 , Citizen Sangfroid ( Mr . Charles Matthews ) , wishes to cure his wife ( Madame Yestris ) , of a romantic passion for an empty-headed aristocrat ( Mr . lloxby ) . He admits the fact of the lady ' s predilection for another with the most provoking indifference , and consents to make the lovers happy by availing himself of the facile law of divorce prevalent at the time , llis coolness has the desired effect . The lady and her lover , now they have full liberty to throw themselves into each other ' s arms , discover that they are in a state of mutual indifference , and tho capricious fair one is but too glad to remain with her husband . Tnflmg as this ' plot may seem , it is tho vehicle fov introducing some excellent scenes , in which the three personages , who have the stage to themselves
, iiro played off against each other with much force , while the dialogue does the greatest credit to the English adapter . Almost every Jino is a point , so that the whole sparkles with wit and worldl y shrewdness , the grand purpose of the piece beins to exalt common sense at the expense of sentimentality . Still , with all its merits , tho piece would have fallen comparatively flat had it been less perfectly phyed . The imperturbable coolness of Mr . thiu-lcs Matthews , and the neatness and grace of Madame Vestris , as each , in hope of victory , darted a polished repartee at the other , had all the charm of the best French acting . Mr . Itoxby , ns the " spooney" lover , presented an apt surface of vacuity for the thrusts of his more astute opponent . The costumes contributed much to the general effect . Loud and repeated applause from an audience who had been kept on the qui vive during tho whole progress of the piece , followed its conclusion .

The IIudsox Testimonial . —It will be remembered that during the fall of 1 S 45 a certain monomania pervaded the railway world , to give Mr . Hudson a testimonial for his great and valuable services to the railways . Every one hastened to give solid honour to tho great man and to join the list of subscribers . Among them were numbered ladies , gentlemen , squires , clergymen , Ac , even some of the railway papers , but not Herapath ' s Journal nor Th e Times . Tho subscriptions were not in littlu nivkvv sums but flowed in round £ 5 ' s , JEiq's , £ 25 ' s , £ 50 ' Some went as far as to give their hundreds . In short ,. there hardly ever was such a subscription to any ouc nv . \ u except to Mr . Couden . A sum of about £ 10 , 000 was apparently subscribed , and we
believe , exceeding £ 13 , 000 actually realised . For it must bo observed that some were more deeoy ducks , particularly among Mr . Hudson ' s engineering friends , whoso names figured for sums thev naver paid . Por the presentation of this testimonial a committee- was appointed , to whoso account , we understand , the subscriptions were paid into the York Union Bank ; Mr . Close being appointed tile honorary secretary , a capital fellow " to make tilings pleasant , " was so careful to carry out his "pleasant" views , and "to make things extensively pleasant , " that ho appended to the end of his advertisements tho following considerate notice : — " Several persons haviug applied to tho committee to be allowed to contribute to the testimonial , though not railway wowietors . the
committee fell that as is is given to Mr . Hudson for the public ber . oht he has conferred [ how true ! how rich !] all parties should be at liberty to subscribe " Well , many of them did subscribe , and , as above observed , between £ 15 , 000 and £ 16 , 000 was paid into the York Union Bank to tho account of the committee . Mr . Hudson was at that time chairman , we believe , of the bank , and whether it was to avoid a painful pressure on his m odesty by a public presentation , or to save the committee trouble and " make things pleasant , " we know not , hut wo understand tho money was tuvnctl over from the credit of the committee to the private credit of Mr . Hudson , and consequently was nevor presented to him ; but it is not the less true that Mr . Hudson
had it , and , as rumoured , bought "Punch ' s " Gibraltar , with it . _ Now , a question has been asked of us . As the Union Bank suffered the money to be turned over from one account to another , as it is supposed , without the committee ' s authority , whether it is not liable to replace it to the credit of the committee ? We do not undertake to answer this question , not being familiar with the circumstances ; but we venture to say , if tho committee lays bands on the money again , it will hardly return to Mr . Hudson ' s pocket . Most likel y it would flow back through tho channels whence it came , and " make things pleasant" beyond descri ption to the good natured i subscribers . —llerapatlis - Railway Journal . ! .
