It is lamentable to think , that that rich and beautiful as 'Would provide the annual revenue duel

Turning to France , the closing year ha certainl y been ono of the most deplorable in the annals of that country . The assassination of tho Roman republic : the heavy blow of "the 13 th of June ; " the proscription and banish-1 meut of new victims , persecuted for their adherence to the republic , have combined to render 1849 a year of disaster , suffering , and shame . There is , however , one fact which consoles for the past , and inspires the most beunding hope as regards the future ,. That fact—that great , incontrovertible fact—is the universally acknowled ged march of the prinl c \ ples of Social Democracy .
A year ago the hypocritical Ordermonoers ] were banded in one strong phalanx , and had just carried their candidate for the presidency , triumphantly through that election . Now that majority—though still affecting union—is do-i voured by mutual hatreds atid internal divisions . That combination of knave and blockhead , Louis Napoleon BjjoNAPA ME--a year I ago so popular—is now detested by threefourths of those who foolishl y appointed-him cmet of the State . He promised to guard the honour of France , and , instead , he sent French aoldiers to perform an atrocity onWeQudledin 1
history by the partition of Poland . He promised an amnesty , and , instead , has liberated a few hundreds onl y of the glorious combatants of June , leaving hundreds of their compatriots "to still linger and suffer in chains ; ' while he has caused to be transported , incarcerated , &iven into exile , proscribed , and destroyed a , greater number than he has sot at hbef fcy—a liberty too , -ah ^ h , be it remembered , consists in the liberated being constantly surrounded by spies and other Government Is-« ariote . Through his Vmg agents he promised to redeem the proletarians of the tdwos . and
emancipate the peasantry from taxation . He Ties deceived both Masses . Certain schemes , 'on paper , for tJie amelioration of the state of the working men of the towns , have been put forth at interv-als , to humbug foe proletarians ; but it was never intended to seriously put those schemes into working operation . Indeed , were it otherwise , the schemes themselves would be found inadequate to cope with the evils they are professedl y designed to cure . The inhabitants of the country districts hare been still more grossl y outraged . Instead of abashing taxes , President Buonaparte , and € he majorit y of Onkrmongershave
, re-imposed the tax on potable liquors , which had been a % rogatcd by the Constituent Assembly , 'G&nARDlN , in the Presse , admirably sums trp the acts of Bcoxapaete , sime , on the 20 fli of December , 1848 , ho took tho oaths as -President of the Republic : — " Acts of severity , " says Girardin , and not one reform . Faults , and not one amelioration . Expenses , audnotoneuwmomy . Woras , and not one act . Tho year is concluded with credits * oted to the amount of l , G 7 o millions , and < by an excess of expenditure over the receipts of 290 millions of francs . " < Jirardin is an admirable censor but his censure falls
in -eome measure on himself , seeing that he was-one of the most ardent supporters of the nomination of Buonaparte to the presidency . Tne results he now deplores were foreseen by those < who opposed the candidature of the Special Constable . " Was not Giraudin so clear-sighted ? Or is he of that class who , blinded by prejudice , passions , or self-interest , will aot see , until the disappointment of theiv personal desires opens their eye 3 ?
The re-imposition <> f the tax on liquors is calculated to produce results most important , and injurious to the enemies of Democracy . Some persons , indeed , imagine that the attempt to collect the tax will bo the signal for an immediate rising of tho peasantry throughout the wine-producing departments . At the least , there can be no doubt that , unless Universal Suffrage shall be abolished , the majority will be annihilated at the next general election . The Jesuits' champion , Montale ? . ib £ KT , may be a very clever champion of "Mother Church " , but his oratory will
, har % render palatable the precious arguments that ¦ " the tax on potable liquors is a necessary and "legitimate one , as tho people onl y pay it when they have gained wherewithal to do so , " and tuat " the taxes which now exist are the best -of all , for the very reason that they do exist , and that any change would bo attended with danger . ' Whatever is , is right ! And if the poor man is too miserable to purchase a cup of wine , he escapes the tax ! Profound statesman ! you did well to remind the people , that the champions of " Order" are also tho defenders of this ini quitous tax , and that the
enemies of that impost are those Avho have been " vanquished in the streets , ' in the elections , and in the sanctuary of justice . " Poor Imbecile . You and your friends are admirabl y paving the way for the victory of tlrc " vanquished , " who , having already achieved three revolutions in the " streets , " are at this vei-y time successfull y opposing their enemies in the " courts of justice , " preparatory to winning even more important battles at "the elections . " Mostaiembhit may assure himself that the Revolution , of which he is tho enemy , will yet overwhelm him and the rest of the Ordermongers .
That at this moment the revolutionary spirit is more powerful in France thaii it has been at any previous period since 179-1 , is proved by the desperate efforts of the government , and the ruling majority to uphold the existing system . The tyrants and traitors , set-tin ? at nought the most sacred provisions of the Constitution , have totally suppressed the meetings of the people , and prosecuted , and persecuted , every man who has dared , by tongue or pen , to defend those principles of Equality , Liberty , and Fraternity , ¦ . which have been , and are being , so shamefully outraged by the ascendant factions . The spy system is brought to a state of perfection , un attained b y ? oi'Che or Guizot . The secret circulars lately addressed
by the Minister of War to the Colonels of the Gendarmerie , threw considerable light upon the Hefarious policy of the government . The recent municipal elections , having almost , universally gone in favour of tho Red Republicans , the government propose to take from the municipalities the power of appointing their mayors , and toplaee that power in the hand of the Government prefects . Again , the national schoolmasters being strongly "infected" with the doctrines of social democracy , it is intended to take the power to appoint , or dismiss those functionaries from the local authorities , and
place it also in the hands of the prefects . Of late , throughout France , every prefect known to be a Republican , has been dismissed , and creatures of the Government appointed to that office . The letter carriers are subjected to the same treatment : so , also , every other class employed or licensed by the Government . The National , of 3 'esterday , makes known the case of a ticket porter named BniDOUX , who has been deprived of his ticket because he professes the princi p les of Socialism . The London Globe jictually has the audacity to praise Oarlieb , the Prefect of Police , for " this act of atrocious persecution .
This proscription of Republicans and Socialists will , of course , add to the army of propagandists and combatants against the Government . 1 The war against the Democratic press is carried on with unabated rancour . Tho seizure and prosecution of journals is a matter of ereiy-day occurrence ; varied , at this moment , by the seizure and prosecution of the Social
Democratic almanacks—of -which , however , immense numbers have already been sold . The seizure and prosecution of Ledru Rollin ' s brochure , entitled "The 13 th of June , " has not prevented it attaining an immense circulation . I observe that the Reforme of Monday was seized , by order of the Procubeur-General , for reprinting the Addrcs 3 of the French esiles , vh ^ ch appeared in last Saturday ' s Star . That seizure has induced the

Rfforme to give expression to the following admirable Be \ timents : — : i , ( The government knows very ' t ? eii that it cannot wear out our courage , but it- 'tfdpes . perhaps , to fatigue the patience of our subscribers by the repeated seizures which deprive them of their journal . It is only to such a calculation we can ascribe tlie seizure of our number of this morning . The pretext is the address of our exiled friends in London [ to the English democrats : but where docs the * f ^ M ^ aiaaM- ^^«
government expect to find a French jury to condemn the sentiments or expressions of that address , which breathed the love of country and humanity . J ^ o ? gentlemen , you shall . no more subdue ouv courage than curb our convictions , and for the patriots who read the Reforme . your persecutions will be a reason the more to remain faithful to us . Our cause is the cause of truth and right . Truth | cannot perish , and , against right , majorities themselves cannot prevail .
Surel y , no jury will be found base enough to condemn the Reforme for republishing a document which had been freely circulated in MonarcluQal , Aristocratical England . This reckless crusade against the Press , and against the Republicans generttll y ^ ' beginningto fail . Recently , in tho departments ; a- - great number of journalists and others , prosecuted by . the . government , have been acquitted . It is to be hoped that the same good fortmae is in store for the Reforme .
The Emperor of Austria hg's sent his porteait , richl y framed , as a present to the Presi- dent BuoN APAhtE , accompanied by an autograph letter , thanking the imperial " Special Constable" for the services he has rendered to the cause of " Order . " Ho has likewise received a letter from the Pope , in which that Holy Judas thanks tho « Special" for having freed the Eomam States " from the oppression of an anarchical and anti-christian faction . " This " latest news , " is accompanied by " alarming accounts" of the vast and opeii progress of Red Republicanism in the departments .
In Germany and Italy the soldiers of Freedom are full of heart and hope , and burning with impatience to measure swords with the myrmidons of Tyranny . The most horrible teiTorism reigns in Hungary , but the secret circulation of " Kossuth medals , " and other circumstances , indicate that , the Magyars , though betrayed and beaten , will , at the first favourable moment , rally again to assert the
liberties of their native land . I conclude this letter by noticing a characteristic specimen of Austrian rule . A letter from Venice states , that a few days ago a poor old fruit woman , near the Rialto , enraged at a Croat who took her fruit without payment , loudly cursed th « Austrians . She was immediately publicly flogged in the Piazza St . Marco . She was covered with blood when the execution
was over , and cursed the Austirians again . ThepumsWetitwas repeated , but this time she cursed not , for she was dead ! O , Brother Proletarians , men of England , whoso hearts abhor oppression and cruelty , will you not curse these Austrians — their emperor—their chiefs—and all who are allied with , or countenance such a crew of savages , assassins , and hell-begotten ruffians ? Will you not swear that when next the nations rise against their torturers , as they soon will do , you will march with your brothers to share tho perils and triumphs of freedom ' s great crusade ?

SuNDEDLAsn . —At a meeting of this branch held on the 19 th inst ., the following resolutions were unanimously earned : — " That we , tho Land members , are of opinion that Mr . O'Connor is justified in enforcing tho allottees to pay their rents . ' " ' That if not enrolled , to wind up the affairs of the Company ns early as possible . " "That wo send an answer to the Stamlong with these resolutions to Mr . How ' s statements , received here by Mr . T—— . "J o Mr . How , —Sir , —AVe have received favourable accounts from you , by Mr . T- — , who has visited yon ; he told u ? you were doing well , and was pleased with your situation . "We saw , with astonishment your letter to Mr . T , and to the GatesJimd Observer , complaining of your hard situation . You
make a boast that you put the bailiffs off at the sound of tho drum ; and say you will not pay the rent to Mr . O' Connor . If you will not pay tho rent to him who will you pay it to ? He is appointed by the Company to receive the rent , and wo think that two years and a half is sufficient time to pay a half-year ' s rent in . It is not long ago that you addressed Mr . O'Connor as your beloved father , and you also sent some of your produce to the members , . and boasted that your produce was worth £ 25 in 1848 . You also said at that timo that there was nothing but the land for you ? redemption , and advised us to ; ret on tlie Land as soon as possible . In your letter in the Qateshead Observer vou savthat
, , since tho harvest of 1849 , your condition is ' much improved , so that your sufferings have been very short ; and we think that Thomas Leo might liswc paid some of the Company ' s money out of his £ 138 , instead of putting it in the Land . In your letter to Mr . T , you say , that you are freeholders , subject to a ground rent or rent charge on the capital expended , this was what you joined for , and you have , and yon monn to keep . ' What do vou mean to keep ? the freehold ! This looks like a fraud . We are astonished at your conduct .

Manchester . —A special general meeting of the members of the Manchester ' branch of tlie National Land Company , was held on Sunday , December 23 rd , in the Hall of Science . Mr . Suttonin the chair . The secretary read letters he had received from the allottees and the Directors , also letters that the allottees had sent to tho Manchester Examiner , Times , and other papers . After a lengthy discussion , Mr ! Donovan moved the following resolution ;_«< That this meeting is of opinion that the National Land Company should be wound up ; not that we believe it to he impracticable , but owing to the fact of a majority of the located members having conspired to pay no rent , whilst others say they cannot . We wish the Company to be wound ' up for the purpose of ( retting rid of the parties above mentioned , as well as other discontented persons , and further , with a view to iho organisation of a New Company , that will admit
of none but tried Democrats , and men pledged to carry out tho principles laid down regardless of any difficulty that may bo thrown in their way , let it come from what source it mav " Mr . Ltadsoy moved : — " That the meeting lm ' d no faitlnn tho Land Company , or of its being carried out . —Mr . Elliott could not agree with Mr . Donovan s resolution , as 1 \ e did not wish the Companv to ha woundup . He , therefore , should move an amendment : — " That the Directors use every exertion to got the Company completely registered . In the event of not succeeding , they should apply to parliament for an act to allow the Company to be wound up . "—Mr . Lindsey withdrew UU amendment , consequently Mr . Donovan ' s resolution , and Mr . Elliott s amendment was put to the vote , when Mr . Donovan ' s resolution was passed by a considerable majority .

CocKEUMouni . -Wc the four paid up members of the Cockermouth branch , highly approve of tho promp measures taken by Mr ? O'Connor against the dishonest portion of tho located members , who not only are the cause of disappointing tho fair prospects of hundreds of poor member ' s like ourselves , who have paid up for four acres ever since the beginning of 'forty-six , but are actually wishing to rob us of our hard earned monies . AVeare satisfied that they have had not only sufficient time granted them to pay the rent due , but they have been much too lenientl y dealth with ; and Mr . 0 Connor . will best servo the interests of the company , oy rejecting all such base characters as speedily as possible , otherwise , the ingratitude and dishonesty of those parties will bo tho means of causing the Company to wind up its affairs , to the great disappointment of the undersigned , John Simpson , Geore PeatJoseph Fletcherand Joseph

Crowther , ) unscrupulous as to the moans where the desired end could be obtained , contrasted with that of tho true Knight de Courcy ( Mr . N . T . Ilicks . Ueal heir : the
constancy of the betrothed of the De Courcv ( Miss E . Lovcday . ^ and th c fidelity and ingenuity of her attendant . ( Mrs . Beacham , ) elicited expressions of approbation which promised liberal indulgence for the pantomime , which followed the incompnvable routine of Batty ' s fearless scenes of the circle , in which , for the first time , Mdlle . Angele , from the Hippodrome , Paris , made her appearance , introducing her hi ghly-trained steed " Senoni . " with the management of which she appeared both to surprise and delight every one . The pantomime is entitled Harlequin Yankee Doodle , who came to town upon his little Pony , being " the perfectly new and entirely original Transatlantic and Uvitunnic Libretto , by Nelson Leo . " It opened with a splendid scene portraying the " Bowers of Peace , " the
faivy inhabitant being Pence herself , in the person of « rs . Beacham , attended by two sprites—Mirth and Sport . Peace soon discovers Plenty ( Miss E . Loveday , ) saidto bo a special and favouriti ' . attendant of Britannia , and in the " Halls of Plenty , " a most pleasing illusion , in which tho real elfin steeds are introduced , the fairy Hope ( Mrs . Jackson ) anchors all over , and a full ship ' s company of fairy attendants appear to greet Britannia ( Miss Moreton Brooke ) as she descends from her car on the waves and takos the command in chief . Young En "land ( Mr . W H . Harvey ) " a pert young man and regular brick , " becomes acquainted with the goddess , who promises to promote his interest with a certain nigger lady , Miss Dinah a sister of Lucy Long , after which she retires for a time , assuring her subjects that
" *» England and America keep friends , ' lu clear , There will be peace and plenty all the year . " Another wooer of Miss Diuali then turns u |> , who la no other than Yankee Doodle ( Barry ) , who has come to London Town for the purpose ol settling the business of Miss Dinah , hut on his avrivai , with , his famous servant , Sam Slick , he finds all his plans thwarted b y Young Englanil . Although " tarnation cute , Brother Jonathan somehow finds tho . Britishers of London too much for him , and at jasfc he calkiates" that he is only getting-robbed , cheated , swindled , and deceived on all sides . Britannia , however , resolves to give the disconsolate son of Columbia another- chance , and the usual transformations having been cfeoted
, the chase begins . The following aro the ch .-UMctera of the harlequinade : —Harlequin , Mr . W . -11 . Harvey ; Columbine , Miss Louiso Davidson ; Clown . Mv . Jackson ; Pantaloon , Mr . Craddock The usua tncks and jokes form tho staple of tho fun , which was kept up with unflagging spirit and vivacity . The new art of grapuiologv , or discerning characters from handwriting , tho cheap excursion trams to the Continent , tho carly-closin" irovement , the opening of the Coal Exchange , the How Polka , and other follies of the day were yu .-cessively brought forward , and excited endless j , i . > rriment . Some nogvo melodies were introduced , and ft nigger dance was executed with some snt . it . anil
a couple of comic songs from a special favourita at Ast-ley s was imperativel y demanded and obtained . Uio wholo is closed with a magnificent tableau representing Britannia ' s Water Palace , the F : iiry Queen being again surrounded by her friends Hope , 1 eace , Plenty , Mirth , and Sport , but she is in wanfc of her best friend , Content .

HITTERS ' TO THE WORKING CLASSES . LXXII . << *^ . » aa « n » alldropOf » k - - •^ tfjEnKanasSi * ¦ ; ., " " BnOS . UETTJBRS " ^
i THE OLD YEAR AND THE STEW . Brother Proietauuks . I A year of nusfovtuneaaud sorrows i 8 drawing to an end . All the evils that escaped from Pandora ' s box , have this year afflicted the human raw . nevertheless , hope—the comforter of &e afflicted , and the inispirer of the unfortunate—still remains . Encouraged by that genial power , the oppressed , the proscribed , and tho suffering , tutnvfith tenwed animation to the coming period of the foture , which , in a few days , the arrival of 1850 will inaugurate . I In this eeantvy the good cause of progress , 1 decidedly occupies an advanced position , com-J pared witfe " the situation" twelve months ago
Wearied of the chicanery of the Whigs , fretting uk&t the burden of overpowering taxation , t&i despairing of the arrival of tire promissed millenium of " good trade , " tho bulk of the middle classes nave been clamouring for financial Reform . Their clamour , however , has found no -echo in tho ranks of the people ; and hence the advance on foe part of tha bourgeoisie , exhibited in their hoisting the flag of moderate Parliamentary Reform . ** Financial Reform" is now pretty well [ shelved , and " ParliamentaryHefeein" is the " cry" which fcas rallied a large number of tho lower rants of the middle -classes . The " adhesion" df thevworking , 'classes is rather a fiction than a . fact The 'Chartists tolerate
the new movement ; attend The meeting ! of the " Reformers , " and cheer'fifeose—who avow Chartist -principles . Bat ! ftie enrolment of Chartists la the " Parliamentary Refonn Associifion ? is limited to an-esceedingl y select few . Dodttless , some working men not professing ths'Chartist faith , havetjoined the association ; imt'it may be safely asserted that , to the greatboHy of thenon-pblttic&lmasses , themovememvSs'fcntaiown . Baa the Parliamentary lieformers the honesty -anii'oourage to give their adhesion to Chartism , "they would thereby -at onceniKate a movement Tv-hich could not fail
to be&t down all opposition . But as they sprefer * fo- 'palter with prkuiiples—as they are nei : ther -bold enough 'to % e honest , nor 'honest enough to be bold— : » hey may makeup liheir minus that then * 'toil ^ to form a strong party wilUbe immense , anaiiheir success wiH'be"pro . portienably questionable and distant . The apologists of thismo 3 erate movement are in theifcabifc of rcmin'ding democratic-critics that "Lowl Nugent , ! Lor& Dudwhc "Suvjake , Mt . 'Ltjshingtox , and * Sir J . W : « cmslby , liave ,
over and over again , avowed their preference for Universal Slim-age , &c ., orer the scheme of Sieform of ' -which they are the champions ; but—add the aforesaid apologists—4 he afore--saM lords and gentlemen dare mot go rflie full -length of their « o ' . vn convictions , for 1 ear of thereby alienating 'their middle class supporters ! Therjflectlon on "flie character of the bourgeoisie , as regards -their honesty or ¦ their intelligence , implied in-such an apology , must be patentio all the world .
35 very true'Reformer must deplore the loss of time , and -neglect of popular pov . 'er , occasioned bythe-selfishorcowardly policy of those who will not , or dare net , confide in the masses . It is io be hoped that , -ere long , events will impel the gentle and the genteel to go farther and faster . A " National Conference" ^ to 'be < convonedb yihe "Reformers , " ¦ to meet in iondon in the month -of Mareh next— -a preparatory Btep , it is to ' be hoped , to making themovementTeally " notional . "
The Freehold Land Movement patronised by Mr . Cobdex , who significantly holds back from the'Financial Reformers , can be only of service to the popular cause as tending to still farther "weaken i . he perishing power of FeudalisEL In itself , the FireeholdLand project is essentially a bourgeois move ; intended to give the little-shopocracy of the towns supremacy over the > political serfs of the Landocracy . But it is asserted that the ssevement has been commenced principally to promote tlie enfranchisement of ^ he working classes - and that numbers of worinng men have alreadyjoined tho societies . 'The number of woiiking-class adherents is not likely to reaeh a high figure ; and in general must belong to the "aristocracy
of labour . " Tke Freehold Land Movement can never enlist such classes as the agricultural labourers , the Spitalfieids weavers and the great massof workers in the manufacturing districts . In fact , the scheme is devised not to breakdown the « loetoral monopoly , but to enlarge the number of the monopolists . Cobden ias no fancy for Universal Suffrage . His object is to make tfea electoral body sufficiently numerous to place power in the hands of the "Manchester School $ '' but not so numerous &B to risk the obtaimnent of power by the advocates of Refonn democratique et sociale . Fortunately , there is no danger of the Freehold Land Movement enlisting the sympathies and ciciting the hopes of the proletarian
masses . As regards Chartism , for more than twelve montiispast there has been " nothing stirring but stagnation / ' It is to be hoped ' that a veritable movementwill result from the labours of the late Metropolitan Conference . The true , the ardent , and the active Chartists , in every loeality , should forthwith adept the new p lan of organisation , commence the enrolment of members , and set about making arrangements for holding public meetings , to be attended by deputations from tho Provisional Committee . Should the Chartists in any
locality deem the new plan in any respect objectionable , or iarperfect , they should nevertheless forthwith adopt it ; at the same lime communicating their slews to the Provisional Committee , and to the Chartists generally , with the view of haviag all imperfections remedied by a future national Conference , To reject the p laa in its entirety , because it may not sseet the views , or provide for the wants of a localised section , woald be a most detrimental course of procedure . It is hardly possible to fragie ap ian which wGuld be deemed perfectly unobjectionable by , aad fully satisfactory to
all . Some plan , though ever" so imperfect , most b& _ taken as a basis on which to commence < 3 j » erations . The p lan just promulgated is " ihe only one at present before the country , aad , under ; present circumstances , that or none must be aceepted . Its nonacceptance would be fatal to die Tery name of Chartism ; for in that event tha " moderateminded" would fall into the ranks of the " Parliamentary Reformers ; " while those who go beyond even tJio " whole hog , " and all the remarkable " bristles . " of that celebrated " animal , " would form new combinations , and the Chartists , as a party , would become
extinct ; . It is to be hoped , however , that the Chartist " , mindful of their former strength , and reanimated by the comparatively favourable circumstances of the present time , will rally round their old flag , and work out the mission assigned to them . It is of immense importance that a powerful domocratic organisation should exist to take advantage of events , which can hardly faa to arise out of the future collisions of the aristocracy and the hnuraeoisie . The demands of tho
Protectionists , backed by a daily mcreasmg power , answered by the threats of Coraiar , and the applauding shouts of his forces , surely prog nosticate a crisis of the most important character . Will the Proletarians be prepared m the hour of conflict , to assert their rights , and make good their claims ? 1 trust so . More-Such more-mig ht be written on this subject , but a word totbe wise is § nflicient .

COLOSSEUM AND CYCLORAIIA . The Colosseum maintains its first rank amongst those exhibitions which , to so large an extent combine instruction with amusement . We know of no entertainment in the metropolis more edifying or at the same time more amusing to both young and old . In the first place , the interior of the building , as well us the exterior , n grandiand imposing , and in so far prepares the minds of the young for the reception of those large ideas of which so many portions of the exhibition are suggestive j and throughout the entire series of amusements , there is not one which could be pronounced petty , r . r devoid of a refining influence . The attractions of the present season , which
have been added since we last noticed this exhibition include Views of the Polar Regions , the Ruins of Ne » ey Abbey , and a representation of Tchin Shan , ov Golden Island , m the Grand River of China The interest felt by the public in the fate of Sir John Franklin , by the recent return of Sir J . Ross from the Polar Regions , suggested the idea of tho first of these views ; which has been very graphically painted on a small scalp , by Messrs . Danson and Son . Netley Abbey , near Southampton , will bo remembered as being one of the most picturesque ruins in England . To these attractions has also been added a very ingenious model of a silver mine in work , showing its intricacies , and the manner of digging and raising the oar . Tlie fi gures representing tho

TO PEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Respected Sir , —As a member of the Land Company , although not a paid up ono , owing to want of work ; and as I have heen a . reader of the Star since its commencement , I have always admired your honesty to tho well-being of the working classes , and more . especially , in spending your time and money upon a people , who arc not prepared to do ns they would like to be done to . Now , sir , I would like to ask what we can look for , when tho Charter is the law of the land , if the people cannot stand by and protect and support tho only real friend they have , both in and out of parliament ? It grieves me , to . see you so much abused by the press ; hut sir , you cannot expect any other thing from that quarter . lam ashamed that thoss you have done so much for should turn their backs upon youbut fear not , sir , you have friends everywhere that will honour
^ your name and protect your character . Inw , sir , I would give you my humble advice , and that is , to wind up the affairs of the Land Companv andgivoall the grumblers up their money and by so doing you will sift the chaff from the wheat Believe me , sir , when I entered the Company i never expected to get on the Land , for I am unfit for that work , but I was willing to do all I could wr the good of my country ; and , if the Company was broken up to-morrow , I would spy , do what you think best with my money , for I would be ashamed to look for a single farthing back . Sow sir , I hope you will excuse me for writing to you but I think it is the duty of every working man to lilt up his voice , and put to silence all your and our enemies ; and if the located members cannot pay their rents after all that has been done for them make room for those who are willing to work .

TO PEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sin , —We , the members of the Chartist Association of the Norwich district , send you our sincere thanks for the interest you have always taken in behalf of tho working classes . You , sir , descended from the lap of aristocracy , and have sacrificed friends and relations , and taken your place foremost in the ranks of democracy , and in return havo received nothing but prosecution and persecution from the ruling power , and abuse and ingratitude from those for whom you have spent thousands , and the best part of your life , to benefit . Wo also congratulate you on your late visit to Ireland , and we hope that you have laid the
foundation of a cordial union between the two countries , which wo believe to be requisite before we can gain anything in the shape of liberty . In reference to your appeal to the Chartists , for Macnsimara ' s case , I enclose you a Post-office order for £ 13 a . 6 d ., which is the third pound that I have sent for that purpose . Dear Sir , we hope for tho future that you will not make use of such benevolent sentiments as you made in your appeal . You say , that if you had millions you would defend overy Chartist prisoner . Such ' sentiments givo the power to the enemy to prosecute ; and it also drives some spirited young men beyond the bounds of prudence , in the idea that you will defend them . ITou say there arc millions of men who cheerand
, hold up their hands at public meetings , but will not pay a , penny for tho Charter , or anything else . No , sir , that ia left to a few individuals in each locality . Hoping that you will not take my writing to you amiss , I subscribe myself , on behalf of the Norwich Chartists , -Conrad Smuxcaix . Norwich , St . Martin ' a-at-Oak . ' P . S . —In reference to the Land Company , I am instructed by the members , to say , that their opinions aro the same' as the members of the Aberdeen branch , viz .: —If tho Company is not speedily settled in tho Court of Queen ' s Bench , the liabilities will swamp tho " , Company , and therefore , thev recommend that tlie affairs of the Company be wound up as soon as possible .

miners , are made to move about in their avocation * , and a tolerable notion of the economy of a silver mine is thus afforded . Amongst the older atfrac * tions , is , first in order and importance , the magnificent panorama of Paris by nijiht . To this should be added the Grand Saloon of Sculpture , the Guihic Aviary , Conservatories , the Swiss-cottageandMountain Torrent , and Stalactite Caverns . Of the panorama exhibited in the Cyclorama , tho extensive building annexed to tho Colosseum , it
would be impossible to spi'ak in terms too laudatory . This colossal moving painting represents the magnificent scenery of the Tagus , the city of Lisbou , and its destruction by earthquake in 1755 . The opening terrors of the earthquake are made vivid in the extreme , and amidst the surrounding darkness , and the roar of the subterranean thunder , it requires an effort of the imagination to dissipate a ratlice pa uful sense of reality . The panorama itself ib a masterpiece of scene painting , and leaves an impression not easily to be impaired .
