LONDON,TEIURSDAY,APRILI2
Ws mast confess that the grand anniversary of the
10th of April utterly escaped our recollection until
reminded by the cackling of the geese who saved the
Capitol on that amigo°. The opinion, then sedulously
spread, was, that the republican Gauls were scaling
the very stronghold of our monarchy and constitution,
and that chard= like another TASPISIA, had already
opened to them the postern. Events, however, pretty
clearly revealed the fact that the Gauls had not a
thought which they could extend beyond their home,
and that chseism, except in the indulgence of a few
individual freaks, was as feeble a political theory as
ever was generated by freedom and distress.
In April, 1849, who of the most conservative can
complain that the people have been froward,
that their exigencies have been unreasonable, their
restlessness dangerous, or their designs pernicious?
We believe that there never has been an epoch
so little marked by popular movement. The batter
classes of the workeg people themselves have, in fact
of themselves, abstained from the manifestation of
even their peaceable sentiments during that period,
lest it should be mistaken as the echo of foreign move-
ment; nor has this bean produced by the fear of the
staves of special oonstables, or of the military skill
which ensconced regiments within prison walls. The
good sense, not the fear, of the English lower classes
has kept them quiet during an eventful year.
We wish we could say that they had every reason
to congratulate themselves, and that their exemplary
conduct had begot on the part of the legislature and
the government merited consideration. But we be-
lieve there never was a period during which the peo-
ple or their interests have received so little attention.
Every class amongst us, indeed, save the labouring
one, has been agitating and struggling. The land-
lords have been clubbing and conspiring, haranguing
and menceavrieg, to keep up their rents by recurring
to protection. Toe middle classes are stirring to
throw off the unequal burden of taxst;on. Profef-
'ions' men object to be put in the same category of
tribute with men of realised and hereditary p•operty.
Of the Irish working men we hear much, but of the
English labourer or operative—nothing. He may
sink or swim, learn or be ignorant—if he has
wants or ideas, he must make them known
though a highly-taxed, and consequently a monopo-
lised press : if he put up part of his earnings, it
must be without the prospect of investment—none is
open to him. the very savings bal,ke being legally
insecure. He has wither the franchise, which would
compel the representatives to take the people's mum in
hand, nor facilities of emigration to carry his discontent
and poverty out of the land. From the soil he is irre-
vocably shut out, and the feeling of security—
even of earning from day to day—is more
and more difficult to obtain. In such a
elate of things there must be discontent,
not the less deep because it is silt nt—not the less
dangerous became it is concealed. And, for oar
pirt, we had rather use its open manifestation than
the secret extension and festering of the sore without
public attention being called to the necessity of cure.
The danger of 1849 is, therefore, that directly op-
posite to the danger supposed to menace in 1848.
And, if danger from popular excitement did exist
last year, it is plain that the means and
the care taken to suppress it have gone
infinitely too far. It is plain that there
has been reaction, not indeed any change or revulsion
of feeling, but a suppression of liberal sentiment and
action to such an extent as to give boldne as to the
ultra-tory faction. In 1848 we were frightened with
the spectre of Lotus BLANC ; and this vain terror has
led us in 1849 to fear, not the spectre, bat the reality
of a STANLZT administration.

Never, Wiacti:Wintoriii more rampant, or the
hopes and the tome of the illiberal aristocracy more
high. Moderate liberals are reduced to a language
of deprecation and humility. Lord JOHN Ruenr.m.
can merely direct attention to certain half measures
calculated to stave away the difficulties of a moment.
Sir ROBERT PEEL confines himself to suggeation
and speculation. The popular party, though
rising and growing more potent in the country,
has still but a small voice in parliament, where the
incapable, of the country party alone utter their
no-ideas with arrogance, and browbeat the Treasury
bench. The bugbear of foreign war and revolution
has been made such use of, that the easy and the
ignorant or middle clam has suffered itself to be led by
the aces back to the same way of thinking, which
prevailed in the days of the Regent and of Lord
CASTLEREAGH. We are led to worship despotism,
to trust in the magnanimity of Austria and Ruses, to
scorn the king of PRUSSIA al a constitutionalist, and
to beware how we let our worthy citizens pay a cheap
and friendly international visit to Paris, lest they
should be inoculated by ideas of French equality and
freedom.

All these recommendations and dissuasions are of a
piece--this praise of foreign despots, contempt of
foreign liberals, this worship of the arisberacy at
home and abroad that popular opinion may be
kept down by the numerous he oneta of the standing
army, and an ever increasing 'police. It is by aid of
this hue and cry against liberalism that the counter
movement has been got up for restoring to the landed
aristocracy its lost advantage of corn monopoly, and
giving it others by throwing the burden of local tax-
ation= the industrious. It is the universal tranquillity
of the county, and the perhaps too great absten-
tion of all classes from political and social questions,
not of a purely fiscal nature—it is this that
hu emboldened toryism, and that has enabled it to
override every popular interest, and insult every
popular feeling. There is danger in this—not danger
to either popular principle or the popular party,
which have terrible elasticity and vivacity in them,
bat it is dangerous to the peace and well-being of
society—the prevalence, however momentary, of such
extremes. One extreme, we need not say, leads
to another: and if Lords STANLEY and ABER-
DEEN are to re-enact the pasts of Lord Livititeoot,
and Csormxnuoa, we may to have HINNY
HUNTS and THISTLIWOODS, expect
massacres
and London mobs, as the necessary seta-off and
ooncotoitaata.

Timm is at this moment a gentleman of the name
of MARTIN agitating the industrious towns of the
north with a project, the result, he says, of a seven
years' gestation, for opening " to British commerce
and enterprise " the trade of Japan, Corea. Cochin
China, and Siam, modestly and roundly stated by him
at one hundred millions of civilised souls. Can this
possibly be the same Mr. MONTGOMERY Mairrx who
ones wrote in favour of the abolition of the old Fast
India monopoly, who shortly after turned round
and wrote in favour of that monopoly, who in due
tiinebsoune the paid secretary of the Agricultural
Amoriation got up for the maintenance of the corn
laws, who manufactured a book called " The British
Colonial Library " in the same manner in which we
cut out fly-traps from a sheet of paper, who arm; pro-
moted from the bench to the Treasury of Hong-Kong,
and who quitted the Treasury of Hong-Kong to re-
turn home in order to recommend to the government
of the day a breach of the treaty of Nankin, which
PEEL. being neither foolish nor faithless enough to give
in to, had no other end than the loss of Mr. MONT-
GOICERY MARTIN'S treasorphip
But whoever be the agitator, the agitated may
be certain that his hey-presto project of furnishing
Britain with a hundred millions of additional con-
sumers of her manufactures, bears on the very face
of it the broad and unmistakable brand of arrant jug-
The highest estimate, and that, too, little
bettor than guess work, made of the porde-
lation of the countries embraced in the pro-
ject is about 70,000,000, or thirty millions short
of the 'alerted number. But the trades of Count
China and Siam are already open, and if the inter.
