we believe, now the cheapest on the face of the
globe, and the whole argument founded on its
being dearer than other labour, proceeds on a
false assumption.

The Times ou Saturday last said " If capital
and poverty are both let alone, capital will' in-
evitably make poverty its slave." The Tory
journalist, therefore, implies that it is necessary
to restrain capital to prevent it from inflicting
an injury on poverty or labour. This sentiment
was echoed by the Post, and described as truly
Conservative. We acquiesce in it; we wish it were
always present to the minds of legislators, and ge-
nerally acted on. If capital, however, when let
alone is so powerful, it needs no help from le-
gislators to protect itself; and those who adopt
this sentiment can scarcely avoid the Chartist
conclusion, that at least labour ought to be fully
represented, if not exclusively represented, that
it may, by legislative power, repel the encroach-
ments of capital.
Do the Tories—or the Conservatives, as they
call themselves, in order to hide, under a new
name, their true character—act up to this sen-
timent? Do they demand legislative power for
poverty ? Do they place it on an equality even
with capital? Not they. They haul forth the
sentiment for a little holiday parade when they
wish to catch the suffrages of the people, and
when it has served that purpose they carefully
lock it up till it is wanted for a similar piece of
trickery. Far from giving poverty poli-
tical power their system turns on exclud-
ing poverty from political power, and on
arming capital or property exclusively with
legislative functions, in order that it may make
a slave of poverty. This is one of the incon-
sistencies of Toryism. When it needs the as-
sistance of the people, it pretends to love and
honour them, but it always acts on its own innate
attachment to despotism.
We have an illustration of this in the pro-
ceedings relative to the Parliamentary Voters
Bill. The Tories object to Lord MORPETH'S
Bill, that it will give legislative power to the
people, or enable poverty to keep capital at bay.
They say that it will endanger property by
making it share political power with poverty.
But we will allow the Standard, an organ of the
Tories, to explain the sentiments of its party. It
said on Monday night,

The ceremony of presenting a sword to the
infant Count of PARIS, engrosses the serious at-
tention of the Parisian Magistracy. The sword
will be preceded by an address, which it is
hoped his little Royal Highness will listen to
without squalling, albeit too young either to un-
derstand or answer it. Much will depend upon
his nurse, and the novelty of the baubles selected
to amuse him. However, the Magistrates hope
the best, and are only anxious how they shall
acquit themselves to advantage in the presence
of so many Princes, Marshals, Peers, and Cardi-
nals. The infant Count, like other children of
his age, tests the value of everything by the
taste. We trust the Magistrates will be careful
not to suffer him to put the sword in his mouth.

The presentation of a sword to a child is sug-
gestive of some observations on the ridiculous
form in which all Europeans embody testimonies
of respect for eminent individuals. Swords are
presented to retired Generals, who no longer
want them, or who, wanting them, ought only to
receive them from the hands of the Sovereign.
Snuff-boxes are given to men who never used
tobacco in any form; and salvers are voted to
individuals who never knew the luxury of a side-
board. What do such men as WELLINGTON and
NAPIER want with swords? Can they have better
blades than those with which they carved their
way to fame? They merit rewards, but these should
be substantial and appropriate. The freedom
of cities, too, is usually bestowed upon persons
who neither reside in them nor are in any way in-
terested in commerce. Thus Sir R. PEEL is a
tailor, and JOSEPH HUME a fishmonger, of the
City of London.
If the Magistrates of Paris wish to stand well
with the infant Count they will present him
with a pap-spoon and coral and bells, and reserve
the presentation of the sword till his Royal
Highness is grown big enough to wear it. They
will then be better able to judge of the appro-
priateness of such a gift. For ourselves, if we
may be allowed an opinion upon such a subject,
we are inclined to think that France has put
swords enough in the hands of the ORLEANS

Should this revolutionary measure be carried—should the
Chartist principle, that mere occupation of a certain nominal
portion of property, independent of all profit or interest arising
from its possession, be once affirmed for Ireland , what, we
wonld confidently ask, is to impede or even delay the introduc-
tion of the same description of franchise into England and
Scotland ? * * * First, there isthe Govern-
ment plan for a mere occupation franchise ;—in other words,
that a pauper who holds as much land as is worth eight pounds,
but who pays for it sixteen, that is twice as much as it is worth.
shall have the franchise ! and this is the sober proposition of
Lord Morpeth. We all in this country know well the prover-
bial anxiety of the Irish labourer to obtain possession of a por.
tion of land at any price. This is his highest ambition, and to
gratify this, to be the owner of his field, he will give such a
rent for it, as reduces his actual condition below the daily la-
bourer whom he hires. He will live in filth and misery to pay
this rack. rent to his landlord ; and yet if such a human being
pays a sufficient amount of such rent—that is to say, eight
pounds a year—he is to be one of the constituency of Ireland.
To this proposal Lord Howick says No ! You shall not depart
from the principle of the English law and the nominal principle
of the existing Irish one. You shall see that the man not only
holds and occupies a sufficient portion of land, but that he shall
hold it at a such rent as to leave him as much profit, as great
a " beneficial interest," as will enable him to live like a human
being, and not like an Indian or a beast of burthen.

Madrid journals of the 19th inst. have reached
us, but their contents are unimportant. The
escape of CABRERA from France, and his en-
trance into Spain at the head of nine companies,
was rumoured but not credited in Madrid. The
Five per Cents. were at 26 for cash, and 26k at
60 days.

The news brought by the Levant Mail from
Constantinople has not disappointed us. The
new Admiral has commenced his official career
by abolishing the Board for the Administration
of the Navy, and the Commission of Public
Utility, established by the late SULTAN, and
composed chiefly of Frenchmen of science, has
likewise been broken up, yet one of the first acts
of the new Cabinet was to address a circular to
to the European Ambassadors at the Porte,
stating that the rumours of their adopting a
retrogade policy were unfounded ! The disci-
pline of the navy is henceforth to be maintained
by the application of the bastinado to the soles
of the feet, as in the days of the AMURATBS,
the SELIMS, and the MUSTAPLIAS•

To give a vote to poverty is stigmatised by
the Tories as a Chartist principle, and is to be
resisted by them in the case of Ireland, lest the
contagion of protecting poverty from capital
should extend to England. That a man is poor,
and unable to live like a gentleman, is the very
reason assigned by the Tories why he is to be
excluded from political power. The Tories, by
their words, acknowledge themselves sensible
that capital, if let alone, will enslave poverty,
and by their acts they confer political power on
it exclusively, to enable capital the more cer-
tainly to attain this end.

It appears that the immediate cause of the
disgrace of RESCHID PACHA was his proposing
a commercial code which some of the Ulemas
objected to as unnecessary, because not indicated
in the Koran. The Minister, chafed by the
absurdity of such an objection, declared that
the Koran could not take cognizance of a state
of things which did not exist when it was written,
and which had grown out of an advanced state
of civilization. The Koran was not sufficient
as a code of laws now, as when it was written
there were no maritime insurances, no bills of
exchange, no steam-boats, no quarantine, and
properly speaking, no international commerce,
such as now prevails throughout the world. The
priests took fire at this, and threatened never
to enter the Council unless the Minister
was dismissed, which followed accordingly.
Now while the Turkish Cabinet is thus com-
pelled to be guided in every act by the priest's
interpretation of the Koran, it is impossible to
maintain the integrity of the Ottoman empire.
The very principle carries within it the seeds of
the dissolution of the Turkish power. Nations
can only maintain their independence by such
continual modifications of their institutions as
may keep them in harmony with the ever-
onward movement of civilization. While the
profession of the Turks was war, and when every
purchase was made with the sword, the Koran
supplied abundant rules for the government of
such a state of society,'but peace and the cultiva-
tion of the arts and sciences have produced an
entirely new order of things, and unless the
Ulemas and Imaums contrive to twist a more
liberal policy out of it, Turkey must, sooner or
later, fall a prey to one or other of the more
civilized States who now stand forth as her pro-
tectors.

While the Tory party hypocritically pretends
to have a respect fur the bulk of the people, it
treats them with undisguised contempt. They
are not worthy, in its eyes, to have any share in
our political rights. They are to be treated
with care, like cattle, for the sake of preserving
them in good working condition, but they are no
more to be allowed to enter the political castle
of the gentry than swine are tolerated in
the carpeted parlours of our opulent farmers.
Yet some of the Chartists, some of the working
classes, are now zealously engaged in helping the
Tories into office. A few fine and flattering
words from the Tories, for whom they seem to
have the habitual deference which slaves enter-
tain for their masters, are sufficient to carry the
Chartists off their feet, and make them follow
the Tories, as charmed men moving under the
direction of an enchanter's rod. In fact, the To-
ries use a powerful charm for the poor. Theirs
is a golden wand, and the excessive poverty, if
not the will, of some Chartists consents to do the
bidding of the rich enchanters. Had the aboli-
tion of the Corn-laws, a year ago, restored the
people to prosperity, Tory gold and Tory bland-
ishments would have lost their influence.

It has of late been repeatedly urged as a re-
proach to those manufacturers who demand a

repeal of the Corn-law, that they want to employ
the cheaper labour of foreigners and so throw the ,
dearer labour of our agricultural labourers out of ! The Paris Journals of Monday have all reached
the market. The statement appears to us untrue, I us. The acquittal of La France by a Jury on

Spectators, who were unable to afford them any assistance.
The Univers says 6' The following passages of a letter, per
Porto Bello, dated 15th February, 1841, has been communi-
cated to us :—.You know that the English possessed for about
80 years this country, known by the name of the Musquito
shore. They abandoned it in 1777-78, but as it seems not
without regret. Now they are the masters and legitimate pos-
sessors of it. The King of the Musquito Indians inhabiting the
ancient province of Honduras, in ancient America, who died
lately, has left a will, in which he declares Queen Victoria his
sole heir, and gives to her and her successors all the rights
which he possessed to the sovereignty of this country.
" Thus the English ate masters of 12.5 leagues of coast on
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Honduras, and this impor-
tanfacquisition has cost them nothing but the expense of the will.
This is a secure step to the acquisition of the isle of Penance, so
greatly coveted by England, which will establish itself there, by
fair means or foul, sooner or later, but infallibly, being wonder-
fully s, conded by the state of anarchy with which the provinces
of South America, formerly belonging to Spain, are plunged;
a situation which forebodes, in less than a century, a second
conquest of America by England."
The fortifications are scarcely begun, and we have already
to announce that a contractor who had undertaken a military
road, has become bankrupt and absconded.
The journals which advocate the fortifying of Paris daily
labour to the utmost to deceive the public respecting the
direction given to the execution of the works. It is
in vain that Marshal Soult declares they are making every
positive promise respecting the simultaneous execution
of the rampart and the bastilles ; in order to con-
ceal their defeat they announce that the works of the
continuous wall are proceeding with extraordinary activity.
Now the following is correctly the degree of activity with which
the works were going on yesterday at the Bois de Boulogne,
where 10,000 workmen, as they say, were employed. (Then
