political and social movement III our t"o houses o
Parliament it is the desire of doing nothing 10 dim
nsh the advantages and The privileges Of the ariso
cracv. which are seriously threatened By the other
casges OF society. The agitation Of the laborlng
classes, both OF town and country, is so intense that
questions Of foreign policy excite no interest. Par
lament aud the political journals alone take cogn
zanco of foreign affairs and excite controversies
about matters of no importance, such the affairs
ofTaht in which nobody feels any interest, i'll or
der to distract tile public attention much as posi-
bic from the home question of the monopoly OF social
and political privileges which ]aily more and more
excites the passions Of the people, and which will III
evitaby lead TO a social revolution. OConneil has
been received in England since his trial us never
man hao boen received by the public. He has been
welcomed with the most lively enthusiasm of the
liberals. great dinner is in preparation for the

Ireland The agitation Of the " Anti-Corn Law
League makes astonishing progress there are III
ready 81 600 members enrolled in the city OF London
alone, the larger portion of them being heads OF ialn-
lies, and belonging TO the mddling classes. The
arisocracy has formed II Counter League, and
the hatred which is engendercd between the two
parties is almost Understandable.
The land owncrs and the arislocracy generally
are represented as robbers, protected by laws OF
their own enactment, and the public mind is deeply
wrought upon by the constant exposure OF acts Of

The rapid increase Of paupcrism. and the uncef

gage the attention of all minds here, with the exccp-

France is thrown into agitation about some trifims
difference occurring between the officers and agents
OF the two countries upon some island OF the sea, we

happy indeed TO afford them the time TO occupy
themselves 50 deeply about things OF such compar-
aliycly small moment.
We would gladly surrender TO Won all Occanlca
and its savage tribes, you would only aid the peo-
pie here little in freeing themselves from the bur
den of privileged impositions under which they are
crushcd.-The Aris,ocracy and Government are
suspected of fomcnting disturbances abroad in order
TO distract public attention from questions OF reform
al home. But they will not succeed. Our people
do not desire foreign under any preteXt what
soever. They desire free trade and universal peace
alone. Only one kind OF war is possible in the pre-
sent disposition OF the public mind here-it is socia
war-a war between the privileged and the Cypress
cd-bctwccn the rich and the poor-and this wal
seems to me inevitable; for while the rich have full
knowledge ofthc distress of the mddliug and lower
classes and of the theoretical and practical means
of remedying them, they obstnately refuse 10 turn
their attention to the subject. Their iniatuaiion i.
