LONDON, TIIURSDA 7', MAY 1.

OLD fashions arc coming in again. To-day all
London goes a-Maying, and the Queen of ENGLAND
herself is to be the Queer. of May. Metropolitan
antiquaries dwell with delight on the memory of
times when the fresh milkmaids of London used to
bring in the May ; the fairest being chosen Queen,
and the goldsmiths of Cheap lending their richest
plate, to give lustre to her procession. To-day our
true-born QUEEN, seated on her dais, amid all that
is rich and rare, in the Crystal Palace, will blend the
prestige of regal state and modern intellectual
power with these simple holiday reminiscences of our
olden time.

And never did mere mortal QUEEN, whether of a
month or a kingdom, sit in a more truly regal palace.
It realises the most venturous combinations of a poet's
dream. The delicate tracery of the crystalline
structure—trees within and trees without, and the
blue sky over all—is the very fairy fret-work that
Oberon and his elves might be supposed to rear; and
the treasures that till it are such as the gnomes
might be supposed to have elaborated from their
earthy recesses, and the salamanders to have fused
into forms of life and beauty in their glowing
clement.;
We are not insensible to the alloy that mingles
with all this fair appearance. In the great drama
of life, as in that of SUAKSPEARE, the grotesque is in-
dissolubly associated with earnest power and beauty.
The cynical and sarcastical may, we admit, find in
the history of the Exhibition an under-current wherein
to indulge their morose disposition. To us it
appears wiser to laugh at it—to recognise it as
a foil enhancing what is good and pleasant by
force of contrast. It need not be denied chat in the
progress of the Exhibition towards completeness
there has been ample play of vanity, humnug, pre-
tension, and that quarrelsome disposition which
enables some men to convert even holidays into a
source of bitterness. What with wrauglings for
prominence, and recriminations among inventors

accusing each other of piracy, the managers have
had uo sinecure of it, and have doubtless often
sighed " the post of comfort is a private station."
And doubtless many articles have obtruded them-
selve into the Exhibition, which by no latitude of
language can be called either useful or ornamental;
which, if they are to be recognised as products of
industry, must be so as the products of an industry
akin to that of the industrious lieu.
But after all has been said that the most morose and
satirical can say—in biting jest or bitter earnest—
what materials for strengthening and elevating
thought does that Exhibition present!
The crowded aisles devoted to the podacts of Bri-
tish industry are chiefly remarkable as bearing testi-
mony to the extensive power over raw material,
the perfection of mechanical resources, and the
exquisite neatness of tueelianical finish, to which
the manufacturers of this country have at-
Wined. In these qualities the industrials of France,
Belgium, Holland, and Germany can scarcely be said
to be second to our own. In the Exhibition no dis-
tinction can be noted between them, though in the
markets of the world the colossal development of
England might make the others appear of lesser sta-
ture. But we frankly confess that, in respect of high
artistic feeling, the department of thu building as-
signed to our continental neighbours is more im-
pressive, more pleasing than that in which our in-
digenous products arc displayed.
The American dejrartment, bearing in mind the
extremely thin skins of our transatlantic cousins, is
a delicate topic. The wide-spread wings of the eagle
of the United States dominate over a space so thinly
winkled with articles as to remind the spectator of
the republic's struggling population, half hid among
primeval forests, or half lust upon seemingly bound-
less prairies. The objects most worthy of note in
this portion of the building will be found to be the
various specimens of carriages, life-boats, sub-soil
sad other ploughs, axes and other implements, which
all who contemplate emigration to our colonies will
do well to study. These are the products of a land
yet in the process of being reclaimed front the waste
—they have been adapted by a people of rare acute-
ness and inventiveness to the actual need of a state
of society such as our intending emigrants arc about
to plunge into.
The

—. contributions from Egypt, Turkey, Tunis, and
China carry the imagination back to the " Arabian
Nights." fhe arrangement of the compartments in
which they are exhibited, and the proximity of the
fountains and palm-trees, enhance the illusion. The
spectator fancies himself wandering, for the moment,
in the bazaar of some eastern city in the days of
ILAROUN AL RASCIIID.

Still, the building itself remains the crowning and
unapprmiched wonder of the whole imposing spec-
tacle. Exquisitely proportioned, it is only when
attention is directed to the contrast between
its expanse ana the proportions of tho crowd
that throngs it that its immense extent is
realised to the sense. Transparent—its solid mate-
rials' seemingly, of extreme tenuity—the mass of ma-
terials and the throng of living beings that crowd it,
vouch for its solid strength. Wonder and admira-
tion reach their height, when we reflect that it is
but yesterday when tho spot on which it has been
reared was an expanse of green turf. Fabricated in
the foundries and glass houses of the north, its ma-
terials have been framed into a whole with an
almost noiseless celerity that reminds one of the
gorgeous Pandemonium of a more gloomy re-
gion, exhaling into form amid the music of
Mammon's brigades. It is not easy to decide
whether the country has most reason to be
pond of the fine taste and inventive genius of Mr.
PAXTON, who conceived the structure, or of the
powers of practical combination, of wielding immense
resources, of Metiers. Fox and HENDERSON, who have
realised his conception.
At the moment of inaugurating such a monument,
our sovereign cannot but teal that she is "every inch
a Queen." What is the despotic power of the lord of
myriads of uncivilised and semi-civilised tribes, com-
pared with the consciousness of being the beloved
the legitimate centre of action and organ of
the wills of a nation which can attract the concur-
ring, efforts of so many peoples, to rear this trophy
in a playful rather than an earnest mood? For,
after all, the erection and filling of the Crystal
Palace has been more a matter of holiday sport than
serious twines.. Earnest and elevated aspirations
have mingled with the task, but at bottom it remains
a work of "If-complacent display.
Our best thanks are due to those who originally
conceived, and who have carried into effect, so pleas-
ing
a spectacle. They. will reflect upon their work
with more unalloyed satisfaction hereafter than at
present, when they are jaded with their exertions
and chafed with petty asperities. And grumbler;
about minor defects will also forget their present
annoyances, real or imaginary, when they
look back hereafter upon this proud display

As the disappointed delegates rolled homewards
on Tuesday last from Drury-lane, they gave vent to
the intensity of their feelings in a strange variety of
phrase, but with a marvellous unanimity of senti-
ment. They felt in truth as men generally feel who
suspect that they have been done. It is a very un-
pleasant sensation—makes one exceedingly out of
humour with himself, and sadly out of patience with
the wickedness of the world. The farmers were in
this distressing frame of mind as they journeyed
back to their respective dwelling-places from the
grand conjuring exhibition. They had been led to
believe that they would then and there see the
sword of free-trade swallowed whole by one or
other of the grand conjurors. But, though the
formidable weapon seemed to be suspended over
the heads of those present, no attempt at the achieve- I
ment was made, flir neither of the principal jugglers
appeared. The trick they came to witness was not
performed, and the only trick performed instead
was that whereof they themselves were made the
subject.
rd STANLF.Y and his versatile lieutenant begin
to take airs of office on them, and must not be cum-
mitted. Nothing. decided or plain in speech is suit-
able to their interesting condition. They are
in a certain way, and they would have it
understood that their time is near. They must
not be rudely or familiarly questioned. It might
lead to a miscarriage, and the long travail
of their political souls end in disappointment.
Therefore they keep at home, or only appear in
select assemblies at Westminster and elsewhere.
The often-cheated agriculturists have a horrible mis-
giving that the whole affair is but a repetition of the
hoax of 1841. Ten years ago, just about this season,
they remember how they were similarly led to an-
ticipate with exultation the advent of the same land-
lord party to power, that now gives three cheers for
itself, and asks the unhappy farmers to re-
echo the hollow cry. What came of that me-
morable change, we know. The cabinet of 1841,
of which Lord STANLEY was a conspicuous mem-
ber, were hardly seated, when they began to
draw the bolts, and take off the hinges of
that boasted protection which it is now pretended
the purchase of a few corrupt boroughs at the next
general election would enable a recalled tory admi-
nistration to restore. Yet, at the very moment when.
if ever, it is most necessary to create some feeling of
confidence in their followers, the leaders, conscience-

stricken, avoid interrogation or face-to-face meeting
with the deluded crowd, and hope to battle all
inquiry as to their real views and intentions, by
sending his Grace of HieitmoNn, Lord WiNclimsr..t,
and some half-dozen squires of small degree who
wish to get into parliament on illiberal principles, to
make flash speeches in their stead. This is not what
the specimens of distressed farming came to town
per rail to hear and see : very much disappointed the
said simple-minded specimens have a right to be, and
sorely chagrined they are.
Have they not been told times without number
that opinion was changing so rapidly under the llts- I
RAF.LITE treatment that protection was growing
downright popular in the towns? Yet heard they
not the ducal chairman of Tuesday's meeting lament
that the labouring classes had unhappily got a pre-
judice into their heads in favour of a Ng loaf; but
that they must be taught to know the difference?
Were they not assured again and again that
Catholic Ireland was coming to be of one mind on
the matter of deur food with Protestant England ;
yet heard they not the wise Earl of WINCIIILSEt
proclaim that the root of all their miseries and mis-
fortunes was the granting in 1829 of catholic eman-
cipation, and that the true hope of the country lay in
undoing all that the great apostate PEEL had ever
done ? What arc the occupiers of highly-rented land
to think, when, instead of a good rattling price for
wheat in future, which they have been assured par-
liament could ensure them if it pleased, they find
themselves put off with vague promises of gradual
adaptations and moderate ameliorations, which may
hereafter be interpreted to signify anything or
nothing ?
In point of fact, there is a double dodge in all this
shuffling and evasion. The alarm of the industrious
classes is to be lulled, it is hoped, by the absence of
the chiefs of the re-actionists, while the exit/cant
temper of the tenant-tools is kept meek and lowly.
ply this species of manreurring the would-be tore
ministers hope to keep themselves unfettered, until
some lucky chance flings the reins into their grasp.
They are, and they are not, that is to say they may
be, or they may not be, out-and-out monopolists of
food. A good deal, they would fain have it be-
lieved, must depend on their gains at the hustings.
Without a large majority at their back, what could
they be expected to do, except try to govern like their
predecessors? With a considerable majority, what
would they not do to exalt the rent-eating class at
the expense of trade and industry ? In this light,
the evasive tactics of protectionism may be, after all,
regarded as affording all men who are interested in
their discomfiture the fairest notice that it lies with
the electoral bodies throughout the empire to settle,
once and for ever, the audacious question which the
landlords would raise. Of the real opinion of the
community at large even these men themselves do
not pretend to doubt. If they could persuade them-
selves that the millions wished their success, why
complain, as their orators did on Tuesday last, that
the freetraders threatened to outnumber them by
what was called " swamping the constituencies ?"
Yes; this is the complexion to which the struggle
must come at lust. Once in legal possession of a
household suffrage, the masses of the community
need no more trouble themselves watching against
I-rat-plods and corn-monopolies. It is the narrowness
of the franchise that feeds the anti-popular hopes of
selfish cliques and castes. Enlarge the circle of'
active citizenship, and the dream of dear bread for
the benefit of the landed oligarchy would be at an
end.

MOVEMENT FOR A SATURDAY HOLIDAY.—On Sa-
turday evening a number of workmen in the employ of Mr.
John Frearmn, hook-and-eye manufacturer and general
machinist, of Gas-street, Birmingham, assembled at the
house of Mr. H. B. Morris, Bricklayers' Arms, Ann-street,
for the purpose of celebrating the initiative in this town of
' a course which has been pursued at Manchester with suc-
cess, namely, a half-day holiday on the Saturday, and thus
enabling the workman and his family to go to market at a
convenient hour, without trusting to the not uncommon
case of waiting till Sabbath's dawn ere the hour of payment.
It was stated that in Manchester the system had been tried
and with good effect—a result which it is to be hoped will
not be less gratifying in Birmingham. Mr. Edward Jones,
the foreman of the works, was called to the chair, the vice-
chair being ably filled by Mr. Roberts. The intelligence
displayed in the remarks of the workmen present showed
that the boon they had obtained would not be made bail use
of ; and that they duly appreciated it was shown by the
hearty welcome they gave to their employer, who, in kindly I
feeling, visited them in the course of the evening. The
holiday, so called, inflicts an injury neitheron the employer
nor the employed, as, though they leave work on the
turday at an early hour, the workmen make up their
week a work by extra tune on other days.—Birminghans

CALENDERERS' STRIKE IN GLASGOW.—Some in-
convenience has been experienced by merchants and mann-
faeturen this week, by the strike which has taken place
amongst the operative calenderers and Lippert, who, to the
number of aboout SOO, have been out since Thursday. Their
demand from their employers is, that 58 hours a week, with
no over-hours, as in factories, shall be the term of labour,
viz., 10 hours a day, or from six in the morning tiff six at
night, with two hours for meals, and till three o'clock on
Saturday. In the associated body there are nearly 1,000
men and boys, of whom about 800 have taken part in the
movement ; and although the funds of the union are but
small, some support has been offered by other trades, and
also by the association of tappers in Manchester, who ham
had a delegate is attendance at the several meeting* daring
the week. A few of the manufacturing houses employing
such hands have acceded to the demand made, but gene-
rally the feeling of tho masters is suite hostile to the move-
ment, both in its spirit and intention ; while the arrogant
manner in which the thing has been put forward by its pro-
moters has been ouch as to repel all sympathy with the ob-
ject they have in view. It might have been expected at
this late day that a body which includes so many
respect-
able and intelligent men would have appreciated, without
setual,mperience, the fully of combinations and strikes for
purposes so trivial as in this instance. Very few Medal,
indeed, exist in this community in which equal rensunera-
'Sonnies be obtained for the simple week rosining in this.—
Citizen.—We learn that some of the Masters contemplate
the training of females to the employments of calendering
and cloth-lapping.—Constindiona

.7 : FRANCE.
• PAltISb WEDNRSDAT EVENING.
Yde,will tee, :by a fresh document which I send
to-day; which is also entitled 10th bulletin, and signed
by &es Central Committee of Resistance, that the in-
cendiary manifesto which I mentioned yesterday is a
spurious imitation of the former, disseminated as
if with the purpose of throwing confusion
among the red republicans, and producing
a partial and immediate rincute. The source is still
covered with mystery, although the inference from
internal evidence, which attributes the proclamation
to ayens prororateura is, to say the least, plausible.
The new bulletin of the Central Committee, on the
other hand, bears on its face sufficient evidence of
genuineness, in the fact of its postponing all outbreak
for another year, although the language is equally
coarse and sanguinary. file appearance of all these
manifestos on the eve of the 4th May has rather
flustered the crowds of visitors who arc assembled in
the French capital for the sake of pleasure and
diversion ; but there is little danger of any present
outbreak. In fact, the great danger lies in that close
and intelligent organisation of the socialists which
enables them immediately to distinguish a false alarm
from a true one; and the double dissemination of the

genuine 10th bulletin, and of the manifesto of M.
Michel de Bourges and his compeers in the Assembly,
will no doubt be a sufficient antidote to the savage
war-cry calling on the people to rise without delay.
The affair of Jerome Bonaparte's arrears is be-
coming very serious, and may occasion the fall of,
the cabinet. Dr. Vcron announces this morning
that the ministers told M. l'aasy yesterday that they
should stick to their demand for the 210,00(1 francs.
This will form the subject of deliberation of a cabinet
council held this morning ; after which Gene-
ral Itindon, the Minister of War, and M.
Achille Fould, the Minister of Finance, will be
heard before the committees of supplementary credits.
An address to the people, signed by Madier de
Monjau and the other extreme members of the
Mountain, is published by the Errnement to counter-
' act the effects of seditious proclamations.
More than 2,000 copies of the manifesto of which
I spoke yesterday have been seized in the faubourgs ;
and seventeen persons connected with its propaga-
tion have been arrested. The same measures have
been taken at Lyons, where the manifesto has been
widely distributed.
The sitting of the Assembly to-day was entirely
devoid of interest. A fourth ballot for the Council-
lor of State proved as ineffectual as the three pre-
ceding, and the next ballot has been adjourned until
Monday. The debate on the Sugar Bill was again
adjourned. The second reading of the National Guard
Bill was also adjourned. The bill on the police of
roidage passed the second reading.
M. Vatimesnil has been appoiuted reporter on the
Municipal Bill.
The Assembly arrived yesterday at only one vote
on the sugar question. It was decided that the re-
fineries, which have been hitherto exempt from the
control of the excise, should be subject thereto, as
well as the manufactories of beet-root sugar.
M. Moulin has given notice of tho following
motion :

The propositions relative to the revision of the constitu-
tion, which may be presented to the As‘embly during the
last year of the legislature, conformably to art. lit of the
constitution, shall not be referred to the monthly commit-
tees of parliamentary initiative. They shall be submitted
to a special committs.e of fifteen members elected in a gene-
rd assembly, and by an absolute majority of votes eight
days after the presentation uf the first proposition.

M. Morin (dc la Driime) has presented the follow-
ing motion on the same subject :

Propositions tending to obtain the revision of the consti-
tution are excepted from the preseriptioni eqablished by
the 78th Art. of the mg:rotations of the Assembly, and may
be again presented atter the delay of • month, whether
they have been rejected or no at the first vote.

The provision referred to in the regulations prohibits
a rejected motion from being renewed before Ow ex-
piration of six months.

The committee on the Avignon Railway heard
yesterday M. Ferrere, who, acting in the name of
English capitalists, and representing the company
Read and Read, demands to be charged with the
construction of the line from Clulons to Avignon, and
M. ltoussclet, who proposes to work the line.
Vim) was condemned to death to-day, without atte-
nuating circumstances, for the murder of M. Desfon-
taines.

The Fives fell 90 centimes ; the Threes, GS.
The Unirers publishes a letter from Marshal Bu-
geaud to M. Louis Vcuillot, dated ith March, 1848,
which discusses with sound common sense the ques-
tion as to the duty and means of a government in
aiding labour. This was about the time when the
provisional government had plunged into the fatal
scheme of the ateliers-nationaus.

I informed you yesterday of the arrival of M. do
Fallow( at Angers. You will see that Angers does
not lie in the way to Paris from Orleans, through
which city the legitimist ex-minister came to Nice;
and hence gather that M. de Falloux is neither the
bearer of anv urgent message from Venice, nor
looking forwai:d to a place in the cabinet of Louis
Napoleon. I have, from the first appearance of the
announcement in the i'ittric to this effect, continued
to assure yon that there existed no foundation what-
ever for such a belief; and so far my intelligence
has been confirmed by the increasing ulienation of
the legitimist organs front the cause of Louis Na-
poleon.
The moderate legitimists affirm that no positive
instructions have emanated from Venice, either in
favour of or against the renewal of the President's
powers. However this may be, it is certain that the
whole party look forward sanguinely to the results
of the active efforts at present making throughout
the departments to produce before 1552 what they
may decide on hailing as a national call for the re-
storation of the legitimate monarchy. Those efforts
are making side by side with the attempts of the
lionapartimts to procure a prolongation of the l'resi-
dent's powers ; but a fusion of these two parties
could only be produced by one of those violent social
convulsions which, as earthquakes, throw into one
channel parted rivers, enforce, under the imminence
of incalculable anarchy, union between parties divided I
merely by an outward badge, and by no vital dis-
agreement as to the buses of government. In the
meanwhile, it may be seen hy the manifesto of the 2u'
members of the peak of the Mountain, no less than
by the proclamation from the central committee in',
London that the socialists will wait to be attacked
in their trenches, or at least until the moment comes
for re-electing the Assembly.
M. de Falloux is going from Angers to Bourg
d'lze, where he spends some time to recruit himself
from the fatigues of his voyage before venturing to
Paris. He is expected then to re-appear in the
Assembly, and to take a part in the debates on the
subject of revision.
It is rare enough to find a picturesque expression
in the languid and misty columns of M. Guizot's
organ, the AssembFe Nationale : nor indeed on this'
account do I quote the following sentence, but to
show the light in which the men of fusion regard
the prolongation of the President's powers : "The
republic, supposing it to last, will either fall again
into the hands of the republicans, who will precipi-
tate France into socialism; or it will remain, as
to-day, in trust, like an abbey in lay hands, in a
bastard condition, a system of expedients, without
rule, without truth, a provisional state scarcely toler-
able, whence the virile conditions which constitute a
free country cannot possibly issue."
The report of the committee charged to examine
the different bills and propositions relative to mort-
! gage reform, and the establishment of cthlit fancier,
was yesterday presented to the Assembly.
! The following is the Bonapartist model petition:
Representatives—The month of May, 1852, is still distant
from us, and already the redoubtable proof to which the
constitution of 1848 has condemned France at that epoch,
inspires legitimate and universal alarm. The vices of this
constitution have been so demonstrated by the experience
the country has hod of it for two years, and by the difficul-
ties it prepares for the future that it would be superfluous
to point them out to you. If the first duty of citizens is to
obey the constitution so long as it exists, their right, which
it has moreover itself consecrated, is to demand its revision.
'Justly alarmed, by the prospect of the simultaneous
election of 1852 of the legislative and the executive power;
by the weakness that these two powers will sustain during
the last two months of their existence.; by the con-
fidence that the enemies of order loudly yorocloan
in the success of their hopes bailing the year
[lBl4l as the great moment of the struggle and triumph ;
amused to a still higher degree by tho manifest and pro-
, grarive falling off of benness, which threatens to deprive a
great body of workmen oftbs sources of work ; by the de-
preciation of realised property, and the pnlffound distress of
the agriculturiata ; by that uneertainty of the future which
weighs upon and paralyses all, except the bad feelings is
creates and encourages • alarmed, finally, by the recollec-
tion of the cateetrepbess;moral and material, brought on by

revolution; by the brutal passions reproduced by emblems,
by savage songs, borrowed from the worst days of our his-
tory, u the programme of the' revolution they usher in,
the undersigned demand of you, with the ardent energy
inspired by the gravity of the circumstances, to proclaim
as soon as possible the desire that the c,nstitution
shall ho legally revised. The dangers of the situation are
patent, immense, undeniable; all delay, all hesitation to
grapple with and resolve this question of revision aggravate
and compromise the condition of the labouring classes.
Putting a stop to trade is misery for the people, and it is
in the ranks of the miserable among the people that anarchy
hopes to recruit its ranks. Representatives, you would not
wait until the danger is nearer' that the evil, without tieing
accomplished, should perhaps become inevitable. We ore
convinced that, animated by sentiments of patriotism, of
which you have given so many proofs, you will attend to
the desire we respectfully express; it is that of the immense
majority of the people.
The real 19th bulletin is as follows:
To the People—to the Army—(loth Bulletin) —Work-
men, who are the life-blood of tho country—soldier,, who
are its defenders—all you, in fine, who only support the
burden of society without reaping any of the advantages it
promises you, your sufferings soon shall end! One year
more of patience, and you shall be revenged for so much
injustice, and the balm of equality shall heal your wounds.
Every day that passes brings nearer that of reparation.
Your oppressors tremble! They who govern feel the power
escaping from their guilty hand+, and feat has taken pos-
session of all those who take advantage of others. As wild
beasts from whom their prey is taken, they exhibit their
fury by their cries. They wish to break us all on their
bloody ricks, so sweet is it for these spirits, enticed with
the sores of ambition, petrified by selfishness, to keep us
under their yoke, to drink of our tears, and fatten on the
sweat of our brows, that the monsters appear to prefer
death to the renunciation of these enjoyments. They will
not abandon the ground, he assured, without leaving behind
them traces of blood. It is thus that they have always
done; they would nut draw back. If the- -

.hey are
divided Cow it is because each ono of them
seeks an exclusive dominion ; the common danger will re-
unite them against us. We must then expect to have to
contend with all the monarchical vermin of the Elysee, of
Venice, and of Claremont. They fear too much the national
movement of 1842 to go with us to that time; they will pro-
voke it before. Let us beware. L.•t us hold ourselvesmor•
than ever on the qui rive, and wait their coming. They
ahmrilly announce an e,xecvde for the 4th May. Don't lot
them trouble themselves. The people on that day again
will confound them by their calm and republican attitude.
Ementes ! our discipline renders them heneefurward im-
possible. Let us beware of the pretended democratic press.
All ttw daily journals now remaining at Paris prepare in
advance their treason. Look with what art they endeavour
to accustom their readers to the idea of accepting the law
of the 31st May, insinuating that in spite of this lilicrticide
law we shall be strong enough to triumph! Wait yet •
little while, and they will raise the mask, and the condi-
dateship that your judgment repels with horror
will be publicly proclaimed with insolence in their
columns. People! You can only rely on yourselves
Expect nothing but front your own energy. Soldiers!
Prepare to support your brothers. The ardour you exhibit
in the league of the oppressed against tyranny is a good
presage; your glory will be greater as you have more perils
to encounter. The ambitious consider you as th. it instru-
ments; they would make use of you fur sinister projects;
but you are not rile prettorians nor cowardly executioners.
Your hearts are the peoples', and your bullets your enemies.
