CONVICTIONOFAFRAODULINT EMIGRATION AGENT. I,
—.At the Leeds Borough Bask= on Friday afternoon last, a
young man, named Walker, was indicted for having, by
false pretences on two different occasions, received the sums
of 2a. and 21. from John Verity. For a short time put the
prisoner has kept an office in Wade-lane, Leeds, calling him-
self a rent collector and emigration agent. The prosecutor,
being wishfal to emigrate to Australia, applied to Walker
for a free passage to that colony. On the first application he
paid prisoner 2a., that being his charge for writing to Ludes.
He afterwards paid him V. for his outfit= the prisoneralleciag
that he had procured for him a free passage to Australia. The
payments of the mousy and the representations of the pri-
soner having been given in evidence, Mr. Chant, the senior
clerk in her Majesty's Colonial Land and Emigration Office,
was examissed, to prove that the prisoner was not an agent
of the t somm6sionen, and that he had not, as
would ave been his duty, remitted the money received for
outfit. The Jury fogad the prisoner Guilty, but mum-
mended him to any on amount of his youth. His counsel
then handed to the court a num ser of letters, which the
assistant recorder (Robert Hall, En.) said would assist the
government in treeing out • system or fraud, the extent and
danger of which no one could have dreamt of. He was
sentenced to to imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the
space of one year.

The German war of liberation is one of the few
great historical traneactioin on which the moral sense
dwell with con4aoruy.' It was the practical vindica-
tion on the grandest wale, and by the noblest mean.,
of a supreme truth; a reassertion of that eternal
law which decrees that no permanent foundation
shall be laid in injustice, however powerful may be
the hand that attempts it, or however unpromising the
hoped of its victims. It also taught the world another
I lesson, the significance of which is not yet ex-
hausted ; altheagh in our days its application lies
in a 'train of circumstances, wholly different
from those of the era of French military
eoviwn'pty, It wu the people of Germany
who freed their soil from the oppression of
invaders, to whom their sovereigns had been
forced, by their want of virtue, energy, and
wisdom, to succumb. The story of the national up-
mug' which led the way to this great triumph,
whether we regard the countless traits of individual
nobleness and self-morifice that it displays, or the im-
posing. mirth of the whole mass of a generous
enthasnion, is merely cue of the noblest pictures that
history has to exhibit. From the first wild outbreak
under &hill, to the halt of the allied army on the
heights of Montmartre, the drama offers a enceemion
of sours of the highest interest and the most rapid
devZinient, rising in interest to a climax of unex-
am grandeur. The admiration that can in no
case be retuned to great achievements is here enhanced
by the delight with which the mind contemplates
their devotion to a canes that is fah to be
In another point ot view this straggle he. a special
interest for our own times. Hitherto we have dwelt
on what was noble and exciting in the spectacle of
the war. Its sequel, however, presents totally diffe-
rent features; and to these we must turn for any
real explanation of the throes which are now shaking
Germany to its centre. The sovereigns who had re-
covered their states by the generate energies of the
and who, in days when its help was needed,
Mie' prombed the just reward of constitutional rights
—a reward well earned by its Slbtri6oes and by its
valour—these sovereigns, when the danger was
thought to be at an sad, drew back from their engage-
ments ; and refesed,ar granted in Week= appearance
only, the substantial rights, to the grant of which
they had pledged themselves. Here, again, the same
Nemesis which rebuked the injustice of Napoleon, has
not failed to visit this fatal offence. In the wavel-
ike. which are now shaking the German thrones, we
see the fruits of the broken faith and the reactive
measures of throe sovereigns whom the war of libera-
tion replaced on them. Thus the events of that
straggle have not merely the interest which always
belongs to the heroic prude of history ; they
are closely connected with scenes which ars taking
place at this moment, and, as it were, under our very

diocese.

The condition of the occupiers of land in the union
d Swift would seem to be almost as anomalous as
the state of the poor is miserable. There have been
three rates levied within the last year, one of 7s. 6d.
and two of 3s. 4d. in the pound ; and oa land which
is valued at 30e. by the ordnance valuators, the
county charges and poor rates for the year past were
equal to IL 3s. per acre. The resat of this is what
might have been expected. The farmers who in
=ems pay the whole of the public charges and
the poor rate, even nailer the most favour-
able circumstances—not nafrequently, perhaps when
tliey are in smear, they have to pay all—are de-
serting their lands—many of them clandestinely
abandoning their farm and emigratiag, leaving un-
occupied lands to bear the whole barflies of the pour
rate. The result of this operation will be that thewhole
of the land will be thrown into the hands of the
landlords in the arecinstanoe,whoes oondsotheretofore
proves them to be either incapable or unwilling to

ay on the tidings of the Rankin campaign.
His part in the riming wu not only notable in itself,
bat is still more sou symbolical in the highest degree
of the peculiar nature and character of the elements it
called into action, and by which she it wan mind-
pally fed. An eager votary of science, past middle age,
engrossed by abstruse and speculative studies, and
quite withdrawn by them from the current of peacti-
cal life—be wee changed by the galling fret of
foreign oppression, and by the bitter sense of
national degradation, into a conspirator against
the French authorities, before the alarm of re-
mistimes had been sounded ; and his voice, too,
was the Ant to give that alarm in the capital of
Silesia, where he was then living as a preps fessor of the
university. Fearless of consequenees, harangued
the youth who attended his class, and the volunteer
movement wu at mu begun ; whereupon,
outing aside his peaceful habits, he also joined
the earls u a soldier ; and never left the army
until it lad effaced the national humiliation within
the mills of Paris itself. His dory, we say, is a
living type of the principle which achieved this
triumph for Germany. It war befit; and well
fought, we know, not by the undisciplined energy of

tint gave life to the whole; and the German youth"

isfeeriss, occupies a part only of the voluminous re-
cords of his life, published in Breslau, in 1844, not
long before his decease. The editor and translator of
this portion has prefixed to it mane of the notices
which Steffens gives of his early career —a varied
and somewhat adventurous life for a man of scion°e
and letters, which acquainted him with many ex-
as well as with most of the notables of
Lis day, characterised throughout by energy and
singleness of heart, which were destined to find an
employment he little expected on devoting him-
self to the life of a philosopher. He was by birth •
Dane, though born of a Gernian father ; and after
many vicissitudes wrought himself into a distin-
guished position as a professor of various sciences—
philosophy,. chemistry, natural history, mineralogy,
&c.—first in Halle, and then, after the rode dissolu-
tion of that university by Napoleon, in Breslau • where,
some years later, he first gave the signal fur the rising
et the German youth, and then took the field u a
soldier with those whom he had taught as a philoso-
pher. After the war he returned to his professorship
at Breslau ; but there he incurred the displeasure of
the court, by the frank expression of his thoughts
on philosophic and political matters, and remained
in a kind of disgrace, until the accession to the
throne of the present King of Prussia. By that
monarch he was called to a chair in the uni-
versity of Berlin; where he lately died, in the enjoy-
ment of honours well deserved by his lively
talents, hie devotion to science, and, above all, by his
courageous behaviour in the evil times of which this
book exhibits the rise and the sequel.
It will be found to afford a vivid image of the
gloom, distress, and anxiety which darkened all that
was precious in life during the oppression of the
French; and it is well to look from time to time on
this side of the picture of great military transactions;
to Dee the hateful aspect of that which makes so im-
posing a figure in the " Vktoires et conquetes" of the
annalists of ambition.
We cannot take a more striking or characteristic
extract from this volume than the account which the
author gives of his summoning his class to arms :
Among those mumbled in Breslau was Boikenstern, who
had been sent by Oneisenau to Halls to keep up the interest
of our secret correspondence ; he belonged to Scharnhont's
school, that is, to the young officers from whom Onaisenau
expected most in the approachiag war. I joined a large
group of officers at his lodgings, and learned that the Grans
of the eameday would contain the King's appeal he a ethos.
tary amain,. All the youth of Persia were esemileg
but, on looking over a copy, we saw there was as Maim
to the object, and this waiving silence as to the enemy
was (bemused with great disapprobation and alarms. In an
excitement of mixed joy and apprehension I left the meet-
ing. I passed a disturbed, dreamy met, and awoke early
to prepare for a lecture on natural philosophy, which was W
be given at eight. I had, as usual, not communicated to lay
family what had passed at Boikenstern's, but an idea seised
me—"lt is for you," I said to myself, " to proclaim the
war; your position permits it, and what the court may
afterwards determine will be indifferent to
.you." I never
doubted of the King's determination to join with Russia.
That it was utterly impossible to appeal to the youth of
Prussia to fight for Francs was perfectly clear, but there
might be reasons for keeping the enemy in suspense, though,
after the Kirg's appeal they were incomprehensible to me.
It is possible, I argued, that to preserve this deception my
open act may be disapproved, or even punished ; I might be
impelemed—ruined. All this was unworthy of consideration
at a moment of such urgency. My clam was not large ;
there was little interest in the university for philosophy,
and the agitation of the time had thinned ell the lectures
rooms. I was just established in my new residence, of which
the lecture-room and my study formed a wing. I was
to give another lecture from 11 61112. The first was con-
cluded, and no one had guessed what had occupied my whole
mind throughout—it was that which I had for years striven
fur and longed for. I turned to my hearers and said. "Gen-
tlemen, I shall give another lecture at 11 o'clock, but I shall
choose a theme of all-abeorbing importance. The King's
command for a general arming has appeared, or will do so
today ; I shall lecture upon that; let my intention be
generally known. lithe other lecture rooms are deserted,
it matters not ; I expect as many as this room will hold."
The excitement in the town was unbounded, and the eter-
nal excessive to know in what direction the suddenly called
eat force was to be used. Thousands pouring into the town
mixed with the inhabitants in the crowded streets, amidst
mese, ammunition waggons, cannon, and loads of arms of
easy description. The slightest word calculated to throw
emy light on the state of things was caught up and repeated
in every direction. Scarcely had the half of m two hours'
interval elapsed before a dense crowd s towards my
levee, and the lecture room was full to suffocation—many
detelet the windows, in the corridor, and the crowd extend-
del even for into the street, of those who could not gain
admittance. It was long before I could make Illy way to my
plea. I had notyet seen my wife that day ; my father-10-law
and his daughter lived a story above us, with Von Hemmer ;
my mother-in-law was with us. The crowd which streamed
towards our house amazed them,but I think they must have
=tat my intentions. My
_wife did not dare to venture
ut I sentheratranquillting menage by aservant, with
a promise to explain all to her by-and-by. I had passed the
two hours in great agitation what I had to say—the burden
which I had groaned under for five yeah- shook my whole
soul. I was to be the first who was to cry aloud that the
liberation of fiermany—yes, of all Burope—was at hand. I
sought in vain to arrange my feelings into words, but I
fancied that good spirits were whispering help to me, and I
longed for the time of lonely ssspsew to be over. One
thought came e'earlt :Hy mind— reproached myself that
I had murmured at &whited to a remote province, and
nowthat very corner become the splendid centre whence
a new era was to emanate, and my. voice was to set the ele-
ments in motion. Tears gashed into say eyes. A short
prayer tranquillised ine, and I stood before the useably. I
know not what I said ; hadl been asked at the moment that I
ended I could not have told a word. I had no new cause to
proclaim—what I said was but the echo of the thoughts and
Malin/is of every hearer. That after calling on the youth to
rise, I added my determination to take my teen and join the
ranks, may well be guessed without my telling it.
The sequel will be found rich in interesting matter;
amongst which may beepecially mentioned striking
accounts of the effect on the mind of the philosophic
volunteer of the devastation he witnessed when the
tide of war was rolled across the Rhine and spread
over the soil of France :
The desecrated 'brute, Ike trampled year ;
The wenslearing homestead, and the henetatoid tower
Tarn hem the lintel.
These are not only moving but deeply instructive ;
they teach us to abhor whatever wrongfully leads to
such calamities; which do not fall on the heads of
those alone whose recklessness or vain ambition may I
hive provoked them. They are, moreover, bat too
seldom regarded by historians. Even when they ap-
pear as the concomitants of a " jut and neoessary war" I
they are lamentable. But they cannot be too promi-
nently held up to execration when we have to mooed
the character of unrighteous egg:miens perpetrated
by the sword.
The volume before us is threnody printed. Reyes
in well known names are frequent ; such as Pakn for
Palm (the Bamberg bookseller) • Harthaueen for
Haxthansen' &c. It must be something more than
en error of the press that introduces Steffens' friend
Blanc under his proper name in one part of the book,
and in the latter half constantly produces him as a
different person, under the style of Bless.
Nor is the translation to be greatly praised. It is
far from being Other elegant or vivid, and at times
is positively incorrect. In a °groovy reading we fell
upon one very pose mistake. Steffens is dew,
the gallant and hopeless defence of a squadron
French commanded by General " Teethed" (Padua, a
name well known in military annals). The translator,
mistaking the plain sense of the German, turns that
into the commander of the allied forces : and
generaltoo, although a few lines lower it is stated in
the original that the Germans were led by Oneisenau,
and further on, that a parley was sent to Oen. Put.
hod, to warn him of the desperate fruitlessnessof his
resistance. The name is, indeed, left oat by the thane-
later on its second occurrence; but the difficulty that
made him omit it, might have set him on correcting
his mistake—even had he not otherwise known enough
of the history of the time to avoid the blunder of
converting one of the most distinguished of French
officers into a commander of the seamy. There is too
much, we fear, of this garbling of foreign mat-
ter, in the oordinaryrun of translation, , ' made

tattoo cm the Continent has placed her in the highest rat,.
We were unaware, we union of her celebrity, at ,t LIME
ever heard of her holding a high place at the Grand Fronds
Opera, or of her having gained any continental repm'ation ;
nor, having now heard her, do we conceive that she It aa any
title to appear as a foreign star of the first magn, -tude,
though sea eartalaly iv a performer of considerable merit., She
is evidently accustomed to the stage, being entirely free h Thia
the embarrassment and twourerise hong* of a classiest eft.
She has a good stage figure, though her features are not r 11;
markably handsome or expressive. Her acting exhibits. 't
cinsiderable force and energy, with the mannerisms of gilt
and gesture which belong to Franck tragedy. She epolier
the English weeds, with a strong foreign pronunciation of
course, but with more distinctness and emphasis than foreig,
performers in general are capable of. Her voice is thin and
weak—utterly destitute, indeed, of mellowness and volume,
When she warbles a florid passage, quite sotto root, the
sound is sweet and the execution neat and articulate. Ent,
with even a moderate degree of loudness, a crude, wiry qua-
lity is perceptible, and her forte notes, especially when high,
often loam the character of musical tones. Her style is very
French. She has not the smoothness and a 2stentsto of the Italian
school ; instead of being linked together, each note being
produced by a separate effort, they are all detached from
each other, producing the effect of a constant staccato. Not-
withstanding these great der. co, however. there was much
good in her performance. She thoroughly under.tood both
the character and the music, and frequently sang with great
truth and beauty of expression. Probably her best effort
was her first air, the famous " Casta Dive," the whole of
which, being in a subdued tone, brought out the best quali-
ties of her voice ; and she was very successful, too, in the
duet with Podia in the filial scene, in which
she displayed feeling and path e. tier reception
was of the most flsttnring description encores,
bouquet+, and calls before the curtain during the piece as
well as at its conclusion. Much of this applause wu cer-
tainly deserved, but much of it, too, proceeded from the
kind feeling which an English audience never fails to show
towards a stranger. Miss Poole performed the character of
Adalgiaa admirably, acting with great modesty and simpli-
, city, and singing with that quiet, unobtrusive sweaneu,
' which characterises her. Mr. Weiss did justice to the part
of Oroaeso; sad the opera, as a whole, was remarkably well
got op.

Cbt Drama.
ADELIIII.—A farce, bearing the ambiguous title of
"The Dance of the Shirt" wa, prod uc:d at this theatre last
evening. It is a mixture of the pathetic and the ludicrous.
A 'empires collects from amongst h. r fellow work women
the means of giving a ball, at which their respective lovers
are to be invited—but after giving the necessary orders for
seats, lamps, and supper. sho finds that the musician
is about to lose all his furniture for rent, and at
once hands over to his wife the whole of the con-
tributions. The arrival of the company, their disap-
pointment at the absence of all preparation, the modest
reluctance of the fair treasurer to explain the mode in which
she has disposed of the money, and a little jealousy which is
wrought in, arising from a preference shown by ad the gen.
tiemen for the apparent delinquent, form a scene sufficiently
absurd to be amusing; hut altogether the affair was heavy
and dull, and unless considerably curtaile I cannot possibly
run beyond a few nights. On the fall of the curtain, and
when the piece was announced for repetition, the house was
about equally divided between applause and disapprobation.
The principal characters were filieu by Messrs. Boyce, P.
Bedford, Munyard, Lambert, and Miss Woolgsr.
BTRAND.—This little theatre was opened last night,
under the direction of Mrs. Hooper, who has got together as
efficient a corps as, under the circumstances, could be ez.
posted. We hays been observers of so many sumusive non-
means of the Strand Theatre that we had come to regard
any new impresario there with much the same commisera-
tion that, at a distance, preclusive of practica aid, we should
regard a traveller entering upon the Solway sands just
as the tide is flowing. But there seems a cheerful
courage about the present effort which creates a hops
that Mrs. Hooper may be more fortunate than her predeces-
sors. The theatre has been cleaned up, and more or less re-
decorated. The opening piece we. the favourite old musical
romance, " Henri Quatre ; " Mira Rebecca Isaacs, a young
oriental, of pleasing person. tolerable voice, and some rui-
nation in histrionics, filled very effectively the part of
Levi son, the asinine husband, Joerisse being represented
with a certain degree of humour by Mr. hc'.ry Webb, a low
comedian, from the Surrey. Mr. Hooper (the manageress's
manager, as we presume) acted and looked the part of bluff,
jovial Henri Quart very well buleed. In a word, ti's
whole thing was very crtilir.bly executed. The scenery En
not at all bad, and the costurnee, &e. quite as good as those
of theatres with far higher pretensions. Two farces com-
'-•ed the evening's entertainments. There was a full
