ENGLISH TROUBLES The Chartists-We do
not believe there is any sound reason for antcipa-
ting serious troubles in England proper, from the
Chartist movements, or any other source. That
there is much suffering, much inequality. much po-
llhcal wrong, in England, no true republican can
doubt; but the suffering and inequality have not
yet risen to point which provokes a violent revo-
iutlon as the best way of destroying them Besides
the ollgarchlcal element in England is deeper root
ed' wider IN Its sway, and more ramfed in its in
huehce' than that Of any other land on earth. It
were lar tar easier to dethrone the most powerful
KING IN Europe, than unseat the aristocraev of
England
IL Is not unlikely, however, that the Chartist
movements will have the effect of drawing more
liberal concessions, in time from the Parliament
The talk OF " marching on London with 500 600
men, is idle talk enough. Only two things ara FIR
the English: one is, to rise in mass and subvart
the arstocracy and confiscate their estatesona ,o
wait the progress Of peaceful and constitutional ro
form. 1t is not at all likely that the first means will
be put in force. s&a

SARDINIA AND AUSTRIAN DEsPorIsM.-The
item in some of the Geographic dispatches, purpor-
ing that the King of Sardinia, g with thirty thou.
sand men," had been totally defeated by the Aus
TRANS, is probably an error-one of the numerous
misstatements that vexatiously occur in trans
hitting important news over the telegraph. The
general accounts go TO prove that the Austrian
forces, late heard FROM were getting the worst
of it every where. 1t is supposed, indeed, that
Should matters come to crisis, very many of them

GEN. GAINEs.-The steamboat Magnolia, which

GEN. CADwALADER.-We are happy to announce
the arrival, from Vera Cruz, of the distinguished
officer whose name heads this paragraph. We are
sure that our citizens will unite with us in our ex-

the cause of his country. Those services, for the
short time he has been in the field, have equalIed
those of almost any of our General officers. After
having performed a successful and memorable
march from Vera Cruz, when the road was OBJ
structed by the guerilla bands, he joined the army
before the City of Mexico, and was present at the
battles of the valley--having the good fortune to
bear conspicuous part in the battle of Contreras,
where his conduct elected unqualified appreciation

May seems as though the months compos-
ing the year, intuitivey as it were, received their
proper names from the human kind. The seasons,
for instance, are but mathematical of the phases OF
life. In YOUTH in spring, amidst the dlscordant
walls of PAIN we are ushered into this breathing
world; even as the winds howl around the March
o. the year unclaimed Then comes gentle, but
coy April, with its smiles and tears its rain and its
sunshine, and then, sweet May. Then the June of
life, when the warmth of passion and of love COM
mences to dawn upon the rising spirit: and then,
July, when the fervidness of life warns and
strengthens every glowing nerve. Then August,
When the fire OF life commences to grow pale at the
approach OF the September of life, which quenches
some OF Its embers, but not them ALL Then comes
October, with its chilly wings; that tapping DER
hfe's flame makes it cold and then, again, Novem-
Der, colder still. Them last of all, until life's New
Year in another world is well awakened comes
December-the last month of the heart. The
other two periods are bitter cold-but then comes
March again, and April, and once again, sweet
May! To-day we hail the yearly advent of this
lovely month. Young children and youthful maid
ems will go out to gather flowers, and with blush
as bright tht upon the faces of the owrets they
have culled, come home again to be caressed by
those who love them. The wild rose will nod upon
the mountains side-the modest lily grow still
more innocent; and the violet hide her head like
a lovely girl that had just been wo6ed, not won
