TIVE SurRrrE CIRCLE or BGornERuooD.-Ths
is rather transcenlenta title for socialist ASSOC
citation, but there is something ia a name, even
though there should be no substance under it.
George LiPpard, s. w. b. L. II. f., OF Phiiide-
phia, is at the head of the eonclave; and, if we
may Judge from his ars,ocratc distinctions, in ap-
propraling large portion of the alphabet, by the
way OF showing his authority, in time he will be-
George Lppard, has addressed letter to the New
York Industrial Congress on behalf of the Supreme
Circle of Brotherhood, whose cardinal MOTTO"
we are told, is the right of every man to life lber-
ty, land, and home. Whoever doubted that this is
every mans motto, and that the supreme circle of
soeety-a very much larger circle than that of
which S. w. B. U. ii. F. George Lippard is the
centre-recognzes this truth, and has recognized
il, in this country, through all her history! Yet it
is of such stuff and nonsense that an agitation is to
be made. Can folly go further, or interested am
biton be engaged on more ridiculous project
We believe George Lippard, now aristocratically
designated George Lppari 5. w. B U. ii. f.,
and one Of the council of the Supreme Circle of
BrOtherheod-a kind of industrial heaven for
theorists and socialists-used to be a story writer,
and book maker, and, Of course, he knows what
he is writing about when he makes war upon those
he is pleased to call the "hireling editors and
lared lacqueys of the few''-making all sorts Of
thrusts at society, and aiming to carry crusades
for the "Palestine of redeemed labor" If he ans
say anything, he is to be the father of the faith
full and while he is disposed to preserve the "su-
preme circle" of the Union, is determined to run
his head against the capitol at Washington, and up
set the whole fabric of our national legislature
We should abuse the good sense of our readers,
however, TO present to them the curious dish
which has been served up by the facile
George Lippard, S. w. b. U. ii. F.. but we
may as well inform the intelligent. reader that the
great end to be sought by the "supreme circle"
which can have no end at all, and but one centre,
and that occupied by S. w. b. U. II. f. George
Lippard-is "the union Of labor until labor ripens
into capital" Now this is great idea. I, does
not presuppose, by this anticipated millennium, when
capital is capital, that it viii be anything else than
it is at present, but that it will become something
more desirable and bene fetal to mankind than il is
at present. This folly is bu, a specimen OF the
whole design Of the "supreme circle"-a circle
that starts from is centre, George Lippard, s. w.
b. u. ii. F., and has no other beginning or end.
Honest labor exerted in an honest cause would
better become 5. w. b. U. H. +. George Lippard
than such nonsensical propositions he has derived
from the works Of the French socialists; and the
sooner he applies himself to setting an example of
sober industry, the more beneficial will he become
TO mankind, who may profit, possibly, by studying
its character and results. To use arguments with
such arrogance Of opinion and insanity OF purpose,
allowing that il has no knavcry in IL, would be
waste Of time We suspect that the supreme
circle" will not be very elastic.
IMPORTANT PROM BRAzIL.-We have received,
by the bark +. Corning, our files Of the formal do
Co1,srcie, published at Rio JaReiro, to the 7th of
July, inclusive.
We learn from Captain Lloyd, Of the bark above
named, that there was great excitement at Rio
when he sailed, the 9th of July, in consequence
of the British steamer Cormorant having taken
several Brazilian vessels, on suspicion Of being
slavers, and burnt them in the harbor Of Parana-
qua. We translate from the yorwal do Comucio,
Of the 7h Of July, the following difuse account of
the affair ;-"h appears that the Cormorant was
coming into the port with the four captured Bra
lillian barks-ihe names Of which are the Leonidas,
Astres, Serea, and Anna-when the commander Of
the Brazilian fort opened fire upon the Cormo-
rant, and klrd one Of the British sailors. The
Cornorani, after responding to the tire, went gu,
and burnt the four captured banks. The version
OF this affair ie very incomplete" says the Jorrai
"but it appears the English Admiral acted under
orders received from his government for the sup
preston of the slave trade
We have been unable TO find, in the columns of
the Concrete, any other interesting news The
two houses Of Congress are yet in session, and
deeply engaged in the discussion Of local matters
The sickness had greatly abated at Rio Jaueiro,
when the bark r.. Corning sailed from that pert.
RKproTIos IN TErLeRAH FARK.-We under
stand that the directors Of the Banes line Of tee-
graph, between this city and Boston, have reduced
their tariff of prices for transmitting dispatches to
two cents word. They are enabled to do this IN
consequences Of the regularity Of the working Of
their line, which enables them to do large bust
nese. We can bear witness to the punctuality and
regularity Of THE line, and cen confidently recon
mend It to the patronage Of the business CON-
munify. Their ctfice is at No. - Wall street
