LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1857.

April the 10th—a most memorable anniver-
sary ! We speak not here of its purely sacred
associations—Goon FRIDAY being altogether too
holy and too awful a theme to be rendered the
subject of a newspaper disquisition, however re-
verential, in tone or in language, the allusions made
by the journalist to the Divine Mystery of the
Redemption. We refer simply to the great poli-
tical event of which this day—Friday, the tenth
of .April,* 1857—is' peculiarly commemorative.
The ninth anniversary of the abortive Chartist de-
monstration !—the ninth anniversary of the ghost
of an insurrection on the transpoutine forum, the
Common at Kennington !—the ninth anniversary
of the day when poor FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S
Ragged Regiment startled the capital of the Bri-
tish Empire into a manifestation of civism so ex-
travagantly disproportioned to the revolutionary
outbreak it was designed to suppress ! When—
with a mere and most miserable handful of excep-
tions—the whole adult male population of London
turned out into the streets—an Army of Special
Constables ! When the troops were distributed at
cockcrow about the metropolis when sand-
bags were piled up on the walls of
the Bank of England, and ordnance lay
concealed here and there at the more salient
points of the City, the gunners standing beside
them with lighted matches, as behind so many
masked batteries—when the reins of office were
held in a firm grasp by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and
the Sword of State in the iron grip of the Duke
of WELLINGTON All this simply as a magnifi-
cent demonstration against the intended disturb-
ers of the public peace—a stupendous extin-
guisher to a little farthing rushlight of Rebellion
Disproportioned, however, though it was, that
patriotic display of the 10th of April, 1848,
while compared with the wretched the pan,
when the Great Gun of Chartism (loaded to the
muzzle, elaborately primed, and ostentatiously
cocked) missed fire—it was of considerable ulte-
rior import, and of no little immediate value,
nevertheless. It was a timely declaration made by
England of her utter abhorrence of Reforms
gained solely by Brute Force—at a period when
the hell-broth of Socialism was seething in
France, while the whole political atmosphere
of the Continent seemed to presage nothing
but disaster and disruption. It was a resolute
reply to—a stern and emphatic negation of
the monstrous axiom of the Communists just then
enunciated in their name by M. PRI/WIWI:11E,
La Propriete c'est le Vol ! It was a decisive
pronunciamento on the part of England agains
the atrocity of Red Republicanism.

But—it meant at the same tiro anything
rather than a want of sympathy with the cause of

Reform, with the interests of Liberalism, with the

hopes and aspirationP, cherished far and wide, for
the popular advancement. It was a demonstra-
tion rather against the Chartists than against
Chartism ! Against the Democrats rather than
against the Democracy ! It was a demonstration,
in other words, against the Chartists, who dis-
graced the cause of Chartism—against the Demo-
crats, who tampered with the interests of the
Democracy !

Signifying this—that memorable manifestation
