knowledge are probably the best and the
quickest—we are sure they are the safest—means
of advancing practical reform. In the present

that a woman who has been condemned to bard labour
for life, for murder and theft, the too celebrated Ma-
dame Lafarge, has been removed in a post carriage
to the prison in which she is to undergo her punishment,
:Ind conceal for ever her infamy. We must confess that,
supposing the news in both cases to be correct, the con-
trast is intolerable, and a flagrant outrage upon public
justice. We are not amongst those who, from
the moment that an offence becomes political, are

transition condition of society no classes seem uni-

ted in opinion, no great parties steadily pursue one
object, no persons are completely dogmatic in up-
holding any system, except the parsons and the
Tories, who are unflinching and unswerving, be-
cause they pursue their individual interests. All
Reformers seek, or pretend to seek, the public
good ; it is only by doing that, and keeping their
own interests in the ba.ck-ground, that they can
obtain support ; and opinions are so extremely
various as to the means of achieving the public
good, that the combined exertions of many per-
sons to attain any one object connected with it is

ready to absolve the offender. On tile contrary,
we think it perfectly just that they who attack
society by force, or by preaching seditious doctrines,
should be severely punished. We do not, because we

belong to the press, excuse its excesses ; we do not ask
for favour on its behalf ; we demand only justice. If
the responsible editors of the Toulouse Journals should
be found guilty of the crime of 'which they are ac-
cused, we will not complain of their condemnation ;
but up to this moment they are merely under accusation,
and yet they are said tohave "undergone the punishment
of being dragged along, 11,'„der the eyes of the whole po-
pulation, as so many malefactors, to the spot where

•
scarcely to be hoped for.
What, for example, can be clearer than that a
law prohibiting the growth of flood and the exer-
cise of honest industry, is a cursed and impious
law, which ought to rouse the burning indigna-
tion of a starving and a half employed people?
Yet so vast is the public good, and so numerous its
ramifications,that we find many amongst the suffer-
ing people apprehensive that the abolition of this
law may damage the public, and they make
common cause with their oppressors. A winter,
which promises to be severe, is begun ; thou-
sands in the manufacturing districts are exposed
to hunger and starvation, because that law has
not been repealed ; and they are indebted for
their terrible sufferings, after the avarice of the
landlords, to the mistaken belief of theit
.fellow-labourers, the Chartists, that the
public good, to an unexampled degree, would
not be directly and permanently promoted
by the total and immediate repeal of the
Corn-laws. But for that unfortunate belief
they would have united with the middle classes,
and have compelled the avaricious aristocracy,
and the domineering priesthood, to obey their
demands, and the demands of justice.
_ _

j usticeis to prownuice as to their guilt or innocence,
whilst consideration and indulgence were reserved for a
murderv:d. Again, we say that we demand no favour
for tie press, but let us not have the preference of seve-
rity. As regards persons merely under accusation, all
the right possessed by the Executive is the security of
their persons, and the accused of 'Toulouse would, in a
carriage, have been equally, and, indeed, more secure
than they were, chained and. exposed as they are said to
have been. We sincerely hope, however, that the state-
ment which has given rise to these reflections may turn

out to be unfounded."
The trial before the Correctional Tribunal, of the par-
ties connected in the publication of the journal called the
Humanttaire, in Which were involved questions of illicit
association and detention of arms and ammunition, cora-

menced on Wednesday, and terminated yesterday, when
all the accnsed, except one, were found guilty, and sen-
tenced to imprisonment for various terms from two years
to three months.—The bebats states that, as the pri-
soners were being conducted back from the Court to
the Conciergerie, one of them, named Sauvaitre, escaped
from the guards, and got clear off, by means of the crowd.
We learn through Vienna that the town of Koniorn,
on the island of Schutt, in Hungary, at the confluence
of the Wang and the Danube, was at the end of last
month visited by an earthquake, which shook down all
the timber-houses, and severely damaged other build-
ings. In consequence of this disaster upwards of 5,000
people are said to be ruined, and left without shelter.
I The general loss is estimated at an immense' amount.
Ms Excellency Lord Cowley received visits on Friday
from Guizot, Marshal Soult, and the Sardinian Mi-
nister. The Countess de Flabault, and a great number
of English residents of distinction, haVe called on Lord
and Lady Cowley.
Advices from Leghorn of the sth instant, in the Mar-
seilles papers, state that the Grand. Duke of Tuscany
was about to proceed immediately to Naples, with his
family, for the benefit of the health of his youngest
daughter, who is feared to be in the same condition
as her elder sister, who died last month. A steamer
was ordered to be in readiness for this purpose by
the 10th.—A violent hurricane had been experienced
in the Day of Naples on the 30th ult., during
which the , Mongibelio steamer had run foul of a
Tuscan, steamer, the Marie Antoinette, and had
cP::,sed her much damage. The Neapolitan ship of
war, Copri, had been driven from her anchors, and
had greatly injured several merchant vessels in the
port. Among these an English vessel, laden with
sugar, indigo, and other goods, had been sunk.—An ex-
tensive fire d occurred at Leghorn on the night of the
4th, in a furniture warehouse, .and had caused much
damage.
A letter from Berlin, in the Augsburgh Gazette,'sta,tes
that the suppression of the conspiracy in Belgium has
been witnessed with much pleasure in the Prussian
capital. At the period of the Belgian revolution, a re-
storation of the House of Orange at Brussels was much
desired in Prussia ; but now, this letter adds, it is con-
ceived that the independence of Belgium is closely con-
nected with the prosperity of Prussia. "We are con-
vinced," says the writer, " that if the Belgian conspiracy
had momentarily succeeded, the Prussian Government
would have acted with more energy than even that of
France to cause the treaty of London to be respected."
In consequence of the removal of the slaughter-house
for horses from Montfaucon to the PiaMe des Vertus,
near Aubervilliers, the colony of rats, whose enormous
number was well known, no longer finding food for their
support, have emigrated to Belleville, La Petite-Villette,
and the Faubourgs du Temple, and Saint Martin, where
they are said to have committed great ravages. It is
even supposed that they have penetrated by the sewers
to the markets in the centre of Paris, and to the
Halle-au-Bleu.
Some days ago, a young orphan girl, driven to dis-
traction by want, threw herself into the river from the
Pont d'Arcole, but the cries which nature induced her to
utter, when 'she felt her life in actual danger, attracted
the attention of two gentlemen-in the office of the Secre-
tary of the Prince Royal, who happened to be passing at
the time, and by their personal exertions they succeeded
in saving her. One of them, Id. Chamonard, being a
marrieeman, without children, havir'r ascertained that
her character was irreproachable, has adopted the unfor-
tunate girl. The Duchess of Orleans sent her 100 f. on
being informed of this circumstance.
A young man, and a woman, with whom he was living,
were, two evenings ago, walking along the Rue Saint-
Honore, when a dispute arose between them, and the
female became so excited that she drew a knife from her
pocket, stabbed herself to the heart, and fell dead in-
stantly. The young man, in his alarm, fled, and left her
on the ground. She was taken to the Morgue, where she
was soon afterwards claimed and given up to her friends.
The Sentinelle de la Marine, published at Toulon, has
the following news in its number of the 9th :
" The Montebello, three-decker, has been dismasted.
"We expect, from Brest, two frigates, with 600 sail-
ors, for the ships of the Mediterranean squadron.
" It is asserted that the Minerva frigate, which is not
yet out of quarantine, has received orders to be in readi-
ness to put to sea. The destination of the vessel is not
known. The Embuseade and the Roussoll corvettes are
still in the roads. It is said that these two vessels,
which are destined for distant service, will soon be ready
to put to sea.
" The Indromede frigate has received orders to be
ready to depart at the same time as the Genereux and
La Ville de Marseille of the line. We arc assured that
,hese vessels are going to take troops on board to convey
hem to Africa."
BOURSE--PARIS, SATURDAY, Nov. 13.

It is only by gathering knowledge, and bring-
ing it to bear on such questions, repeating the
lesson day after day, and week after week, that
important political truths become incorporated
with mares moral being, and, in the end, produce
a combined and irresistible action. We rejoice,
•then, that the Reformers of Leeds have made
the diffusion of political knowledge a leading
object of their Association, and we heartily wish
them great success.
With reference to the lecture, it was neat, and
much to the purpose, but we have only room for
the following brief extract, which illustrates some
arguments we have recently used on the sift)). ect
of `machinery
It may be said that the extra queldty wanted may be
supplied by the machine, and
the men thrown out of
work by it are precisely as they were. That this is not
w`Jrks practically, is clearly shown
the way in which it

got 'AI again, and if each new machine threw still
mare ) the population of the borough of Leeds, where
pitttut,
so. much machinery has been introduced, ought to have
diminished, for these individuals, having no employment,
I would have been starved. But what is the fact ? Why
that by the census the population in 1821, was 80,000 ;
in 1831, 120,000 ; in 1841, 150,000 ; being an increase of
70,000 in twenty years.
Again, How was it that in 1836, notwithstanding all
the machinery in work, these extra 70,000 people were
all employed, and that we were short of hands, and had
to import many families from the agricultural districts ?
How comes it that, if machinery throws people out of
work, families from agricultural districts, where there is
no machinery, should flock into manufacturing districts
where there is ? The census of 1841, just completed,
shows the astonishing fact, that, in the last ten years,
the manufacturing population has increased thirty per
cent., whilst the agricultural population Ilea decreased
two and a half per ceat.
Facts are stubborn things—they are worth a thousand
arguments; and I defy those who maintain that machi-
nery throws people out of work to reconcile the above
facts with their theory.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the ith
inst. have reached us. The capital continued
without the smallest interruption of its tran-
quillity. From Barcelona the news is of a
date one day later. General VAN HALEN
had not entered the city, as the autho-
rities had refused to admit him unless
he consented to the demolition of the
citadel, which he refused, at the same time
threatening to cannonade the town. The num-
ber of men employed in demolishing the citadel
was 3,000. In Valencia the authorities assem-
bled on the 31st ult., and adopted the following
resolutions :
" 1. The demolition of the tower and the citadel
which commands the town.

2. The suppression of the names of Ferdinand and
Christina on all public monuments.
"3. The dismissal of all employes not supposed worthy
of public confidence.
"4. The dismissal from the ranks of the National
Guards of all individuals whose opinions are not suffi-
ciently liberal.
" 5. The demolition of the Palace of the Inquisition.
"6. The arrest and imprisonment of all suspected
persons.
I "7. The suspension of all prison labour, as being
detrimental to industry and manufactures."

The next day, however, the decree of the
REGENT for the dissolution of the Junta arrived
and was proclaimed, the authorities only insist-
ing upon the demolition of the Citadel. _

The French Court organs continue their
attacks upon the Spanish Regency. They ex-
agerate every trifle in order to embarrass the
REGENT. Not one half of what they report about
the state of things in Barcelona is true.
The Debuts, alluding to the statement which has been
made relative to the treatment of the persons of Tou-
louse, connected with the public press, on the charge of
having excited the revolt in that city, has the following:—
" We are even less than other partisans of arbitrary
power and useless rigour, and we are about to prove it.
It is true that the responsible editors of three journals of
Toulouse, accused of having part in the troubles of
that town in July last, were removed on foot, and
with chains round their necks to the place where
they are to be tried. A simple contradiction would
have sufficed en the part of the Ministry, and this con-
tradiction has not been given. In the present case the
prisoners have not been condemned, they are merely
under accusation. On the other hand, it appears certain

CHANCERY COURT—(THIS E)AY.)
IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR, A LUNATIC.—JVDGMEN!•
The LohE CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-ds_Y _

a short time since. His Lordship said that the case came
before him on a question of costs, the application being
on the part of Mr. Butt, a solicitor of that Court, w'

An application was afterwards made by Mr. Butt or

Lord Cottenham had most properly refused to accede 0,
at the same time, however, stating, that the petition beioiLlt
discharged with costs, would not prevent Mr. Butt fro.
presenting another petition stating the evidence of tne
retainer. In consequence of that suggestion the present
petition was filed, and in support of it an affidavit had been
made by Mr. Butt, in which he stated that the reason
he did not insert in the former petition any evidente
with respect to the retainer was, that he thought it

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 15.—The sales
of Cotton to-day are 3,000 bales, including 300 Surats.
The business has been entirely to the trade, without
change in prices.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, Nov. 15.—The trans-
actions at the Stock Exchange are reported as follows:
Edinburgh and Glasgow, 431 ; Great Western, 79; Lon-
don and Birmingham, 157 ; Ditto Quarter Shares, 21i ;
321. Shares, 524; London and South Western Tenths,26i.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 15.—Our
market has been dull to-day, and very little business has
been transacted. Manchester and Leeds, 56 ; Man-
chester and Salford Bank, 9/1.
The steam-ship Columbia has arrived, but she does
not bring any political news of the least interest either
from the British Colonies or the United States. No
material alteration had occurred in commercial affairs.
Stocks of nearly all descriptions were declining under
the impression that many of the States would not pay
the interest due in Januar) next.
The last quotation of United States Bank Shares was
3. Exchange on England continued to advance, and a
good business was done for this steamer at 94 to 10i
premium.
The Britannia steam-ship which left Liverpool on the
21st October, was going into the harbour of flalifax, on
the sth inst., all well.
Buenos Ayres papers to the sth September have been
received this morning ; they are seven days later than
the former advices. We take the following from the
British Packet of the 28th August :
" Accounts from the Interior state that an action was
fought in the beginning of this month between the Fe-
deral troops of Catamorea, under the command of
Governor Balboa, and a detachment of La Madrid's
forces, in which the latter were completely routed, with
the loss of several officers of note, among them three
or four quondam Governors. Tucuman is represented
as being besieged, and in a Cordova paper of the 15th
instant it is stated, that a deputation of eleven of the
principal inhabitants had been appointed to wait upon
the commanders of the Confederate forces; in order to
avert the impending danger. Alvarez and Riso Petron,
of Cordova, Puck, of Solta, and Gordello, of Rioja, are
the chiefs, we believe, who fell in the action above
I alluded to. Exchange upon London, at Buenos Ayres,
I was 24 per cent."
