THE LATE ROBERT OWEN.

Robert Owen died on Wednesday, in the 89th
year of his age, at Newtown, 'Wales, whither he
had gone on a visit to his native place.
With Robert Owen dies out one of the clearest
and most striking signs of the times. Be was a
man who would have been remarkable at any period
for the combination that was so strong in him of
benevolence and inclination to ordain and rule; but
these natural dispositions took form under the spe-
cial pressure of the time. So entire was the suita-
bility, thus far, of the man to his age.that there can
be little doubt that if he had been gifted with the
power in which ,he was most deficient—reasoning
power—he would have been among the foremost
men of his generation. As it was, his peculiar
faculties so far fell in with the popular need that
he effected much for the progress of society, and
has been the cause of many-things which will never
go by his name. During his youth and early man-
hood, at the end of the last century, ignorance,
poverty, and crime abounded, under the pressure
of a long and hard war ; at the same time, the old
methods of society bad been brought into question,
in a very radical way, where' they were not over-
thrown, by the French Revolution ; and the com-
bined benevolence and administrative power of
Robert Owen applied to social difficulites, made
him a political theorist. As for the result, he could
assert dogmatically, and he could prove his con-
victions, to a considerable extent,' by act ; but he
could not reason. If 'he could have reasoned, he
might have achieved what he was constantly ex-
pecting, and have changed the whole aspect of
