The chartist demonstration, in London, and the public feeling throughout the United Kingdom, taken with other extraordina- Ty events, would seem to bear the construction that abloody revolution in England was almost inevitable. We need not enter into the details of the preparations for the chartist demonstra- tion. They comprehend, simply, the presenta- tion to the House of Commons, of a petition for the further extension of the elective franchise, and other immunities, comprised in what they call the “six points” of the charter. These points, it istrue, say nothing about the church, the aristocracy, the monarchy, or the long liet of privileges and privileged classes of British so- ciety But, grantthe first “‘six points” of the char- ter, and in lessthan five years a republic would spring out of the new movement. About a year ago, we spent many months in England, and conversed with every class of politicians—chartists, republicans, aristocracy, and all. We were in London and in England during the midst of an excited and extraordinary election—an election in which republican prin- ciples made greater advances in that country, than they have done since the year 1640, which established the commonwealth, before it was usurped by Cromwell. The election gave to the House of Commons between thirty and forty republicans, possessing resolute determination and competent diseretion to advance their prin- ciples by every legal and legitimate means with- in their power. We also visited Manchester, and other portions of the North of England, in- cluding Scotland—conversed with many of the editors of the free trade organs; and the irresistible conclusion was, that democracy was much stronger, though silent, in Eng- land, than we had entertained any idea of. ‘What do you want?’ we asked of the principal editor of Mr. Cobden’s organ in Man- chester. His reply was th “We have free trade in commerce and industry—that is only the beginning of the movement. We want, in addition, free trade in religion, free trade in land, free trade in all descriptions of privileges and rights.” ‘“‘Then” said we,‘‘you mean arepub- lie” “Beit so,” said he. There can be no doubt of the existence in England, among the higher classes of the middling and lower trading portion of the people, and all the lower classes, of a strong feeling in favor of republicanism. This feeling exists, probably, to,a much greater extent in the central portions of England, and in the southern portions of Scotland, than it does at the West End of London. In the latter region, the shop keepers and traders, and middling class es, are connected with the aristocracy in busi- ness, a din supplying them with the necessaries and elegancies of life. They are too much their toadies; but there are in Southwark, in the city of London, and around about the West End, as it is called, thousands and thousands of persons whose sentiments are thoroughly and energeti- cally republican. In fartherance of these views, we give in our columns, to-day, some remarkable extracts from the Manchester Examiner, which is the leading organ of Mr. Cobden and the free trade mem- bers of the House of Commons. There can be no mistaking the language and indications fur- ished in this article. They represent precisely the views we have given of the sentiments of the great bulk of the trading, middling, and lower classes of central England and other parts of the United Kingdom. Still, with all these views and determined purposes, the question may be asked, will the chartist demonstration end in a mere row—an utter abortion? Our own deliberate opinion is, that if that immense multitude, which was to assemble on the occa- sion, can stand’ the onset of the military for one hour, there will be a revolution in London, and throughout the British em- pire. Of late years, the English mob have not displayed much physical courage; but the mob of chartists, at;the last accounts, was to be led by men of similar calibre and physical courage to those ¢etermined men who made the revolu- tion iw th- seventeenth century, and established the commonwealth of that day. The excite- ment end example of France, Prussia and Aus- tria, including, also, that of the [talians in Lom- berdy, may shame and determine the English to meet the soldiery with a resolute purpose and adetermined will If this feeling prevail, and blood be shed by the onset of the military, we would not give much for the privileges of the British aristocracy, or even the crown of Victo- ria herself. The chances are decidedly in favor of the attempted revolution in England; and if we were inclined to superstition, we would be induced to believe that it has already taken place. Yesterday morning, the immortal Jim Grant, a native of the north of Scotland—a thorough going chartist himself, and a capital ebaver ot ultra republicans—for tne first time in wiany years drew blood in performing the ope ration on our cheek. We jumped up at once, wad declared it to be a favorable omen for the 1ceess of the revolutionary cause in England next steamer wil! devermine (he fact cial season, was registered, solve the mystery, and | An Important Case For PHILANTHROPISTS. Yesterday we received the following very re- markable note, written with great accuracy, and in a very nice hand. It tells its own story, and will provoke its own reflections:— 35TH steerer, 10TH AvENUE, } 29th April, 1848. Mr Baxnertr— Six ~ 1 have been discharged from Sing Sing, and called with a letter from the Secretary of the prison to the Prison Association, and altnough that society is kept up by the public, they refused mo aid. | am in awful dis- tress, living here upon a poor man, and know not what todo, Could you help me? I would copy writing in your office for ae much a week as would barely support me, till I could get into something to de, and would feel deeply indebted to you. I was advised to write you, as ee were a bumane, kind man. Do give me au answer. will call any hour you appoint, an planation. Yours, hig! ly obliged 5 At Paul MoGinn’s, 35th st., 10th avenue. Our first impulse was to make some small con- tribution to the unfortunate individual, who has taken his degrees at Sing Sing Academy; but re- collecting that we are opposed to all those phi- lanthropic associations, and a disbeliever in the doctrine of anti-hanging, we thought we would be taking business out of the hands of our vene- rable cotemporary, Horace Greeley, to do a gene- rous acttowards an individual, whose destiny belongs to the anti-hanging, anti-capital-punish- ment-and-prison associations of the day. It seems that Mr. Gould called on the Prison A‘ ciation to get some aid; but it was refused. When this Prison Association, and anti-capital punishment clubs, meet, previous to an election, or to the distribution of offices, there is gene- rally an eternal outburst of eloquence, humani- ty and all the principles of Christianity, including @ great many others, of every age, race, naticn and religion; but when a simple appeal is indivi- dually made by an unfortunate graduate of Sing Sing, to the self-same prison association, lo and behold they look at him with eye askance, as the Levite did to the wounded man in the desert of Jordan. We advise Mr. Gould, therefore, to go to those great Samaritans and philosophers, whose bowels of compassion are equal to every emergency—we mean our venerable contempo- raries, Horace Greeley and Alderman McElrath. We would send him to our venerable contempo. rary, Col. Webb; but the Colonel is a fighting man—a man of blood—not much, but as little as possible; and we believe, too, he rather in- clines to hanging, without the quartering. We also thought of our illustrious contemporaries, Moses Y. Beach & Sons; but these gentlemen are so much engaged in the financial affairs and concerns of New Jersey, and other growing States, that they have no time to apend a thought on the excluded inmates of Sing Sing prison. Messrs. McElrath and Horace Greeley, includ- ing the prison association, must help this unfor- tunate man. + Opgra anp Fasuron —The old proverb says “it never rains but it pours.” it is now an- nounced that Benedetti and Rosi, two highly competent artists, have made arrangements to resuscitate the Italian Opera at the Astor House Theatre, up town. They will probably com- mence next Monday, and give twenty nights be- fore the departures take place, when the fashion- ible, the beautiful, the gay, the witty and the silly begin to leave for the country. We now hear, algo, that that original genius and stirring man, Colonel Mann, of the Broadway, has been busy negotiating with Italian materials for a new Italian Opera company, which is to play two or three nights in the week at the Broadway Theatre—not so much for the exclusives, as for the whole world of New York. What these materials are which Col. Mann has fallen upon we have not heard; but probably Biscaccianti, with her splendid voice, and some of those ar tists who have travelled with heron her concert expeditions, may be intended. The revival of the Italian Opera up town, and the opening of a similar demonstration down town, will certain- ly produce a great musical and operatic excite- ment among all classes in New York ; and cannot fail to make a@ prosperous season for both of them. If these two companies should be organ- ised, they ought by no means to play on the same nights together, but snould give alternate nights, by all means. Benedetti, Truffi, and the others with them, possess decided merits, and deserve all the encouragement and applause they have received. Biscaccianti, also, has proved herself worthy the encouragement she has met with, and there can be no doubt that she and those associated with her, probably M’me Pico, will draw full houses. We cordially wish success to both parties. It will be a short season, but the result will be bril- liant, and a source of delight, not to the paltry exclusives of a particular section alone, but to the taste, beauty and splendor of all classes of this vast metropolis. Tue Saran Sanps.—This deservedly popular steamship, under command of Captain W. C. Thompson, is now loading at the foot of Clinton street, and will be the first to leave this port for Liverpool. The regularity, and the perfect success which has marked the performance of thisvessel since her appearance on the Atlantic, and the comforts afforded to passengers through her spacious and splendid cabins, have given her a position not inferior to any of the palaces which are now floating the great high road be- tween the two hemispheres. She sails on the 5.h ot May.

Our telegraphic despatches, yesterday, were of great variety and interest. The correspondence between the Secretary of War and Gen. Scott, recently seft in to the House of Representatives, occasioned in that body yesterday one of most rattling and unique debates that has taken place this session. Some singular developements were made in the course of the discussion, well calculated to arrest the attention of all curious in party manwuvrings A short report of this rare political tournament will be found below. No important public busi ness was transacted in either house of Congress. An arrival at Boston from the Coast of Africa, furnishes intelligence of a sharp encounter on the coast between one of H. B. M.’s vessels of warand a slave steamer. The latter escaped without much difficulty. The introduction ot steam vessels into the slave trade, is a new fea- ture, and, it is feared, will add much to the impunity with which that nefarious traffic has, in many instances, been hitherto carried on.

Mr. Toombs, M.C, from Georgia, would address a meeting of the friends of Gen. Taylor, last evening, at Lafayette Hall we despatched a reporter there for the purpose of noting their proceedings, and we herewith publish the reruit of hislabors. Mr. Lambert Suydam was appointed Chair- map, and after tho appointment of a Secretary, and the transaction of the usual preliminary proceedings, Col. Toomns was introducedto the meeting, and spoke as follows :—Fellow oitixens—I am very bappy to mest you this evening at this consultation. The peoplo—a portion of them, at least—of this great city, have met to consult in order to the selgction of chiei magistrate Itis am appropriate duty, a right due to freemen. It is net my purpose, fellow citizens, to detract from the merite of any man; in my jud; it, the government of this country should be changed. According to my best considerations of public men and measures, it is not the ioterest of this people to continue in — the present partys and believing such to be the fact, it becomes our duty to determine who shall be the suc- ceseor of the present chief magistrate of this Union. It may be proper before I consider who that successor should be, to advert to the condition of things during ‘tue last four years. When Mr. Polk was elected tour years ago, this people were prosperous and heppy. Your government was gliding smoothiy/ on, at peace witb all nations, and having entangling alliances with none Your credit stood as high as could bs desired-—there were ten or twelve millions of dollars surplus in the na- tional tressury, and industry and commerce were thriv- mg. In two years the scene was chauged One of the earliest acts of the present administration was to cm: broil this country in war, a measure which has been of the greatest consequence to this people, and involving prinsipies striking at the very foundation of our inaii- tutions. That was the principal measure cf the present administration. It is true they tell you, they are for free trade; but the only actual difference between the tariff of 1342 and that of 1816 is seven per cent, and the only great difference between the two is in the mode ot collecting tho revenue; awd the very gentlemen who have adopted tho present mode of collecting the revenue inthe preseot way, secmto be amazed themselves thet the country isnot ruined by tt. The other great ques- tion which the Premdent and his friends lay clsim to apd submit to the American people, is the restoration of what they chooes to call the constitutional curreney (hat measure wes adopted ostensibly forthe collection and safe-keeping of the revenue; but it was predicted that ic would make the government s va+t manufacturer of paper money, and many of the consequences predict ed have been realised; and so far as the test of the measure is concerned, it lies in the womb of the But the great test of this administration- issue which they tender to the American ceople—-is one which, in its inception and con- 8 quences, involves principles of too much magri- tude te be evaded. I now refer to the war in which this country is engaged with Mexico. My countrymen, the cetences by which the commencement of this war is Jastined, are not true. The real object for which it was commenced, was not to recover the unsettled balances existing between us and Mexico. It was not the callis ion on the Rio Grande that was the cause— that was the consequence ; but the real object for which the wor was commenced, was the lust of dominion. 1t was tho dis- memberment of a sister repudlic on this continent it was the true cau the commencement of this war. and lt is the consideration of this to which I will cail your attention this evening. Because the chject was no! such as could be openly avowed to the people of thas couotry, the President has attempted by eve- ty means in his power to stifle debate on the question—to charge those who dated to utter ‘heir convictions with giving sid and comfort to the enemy. But it was a futile effort. How can he ep- deuvor to stifle freedom of speech in this country, when all such attempts have been Cad bent in all paris of the world. The death-knell of all such attempts has sound- ed over the whole of the old world, and Is heard in the strong places of the tyrants, whero nothing but the cries of wrong and oppression have reverborated for oen- turies. We claim this right of freedom of speech, and in grein there ts ut little doing Crsrevane, (Obie,) April 27.—Neceipts by canal— we claim, too, to exercise it ; and I, for one, will exercise it. <The real object of the commencement of this war, as the dismemberment of & sister republic on our own continent.

Why, the consequence of this simple introduction was, that Col Fiemont raised th: of independence, and the war was got up, authority was overturned in California befo: were heard at the east: and this is one of the measure: which the administration calls upon the country to sanction. Now | am ready to take issue on this ques- tion with the administration. I am willing to aoe the policy of the past, and I tell you that thi policy of in a reluctant people, is # violation o f our own government. We claim the right 'y wi ere to govern themselves.

There have been several trials of speed during the past two yeurs between these pacers, in all of which, we believe, Roanoke has been successful ; but the owner ot Village Boy, notwithstanding, entostained tho belief that hie horre was the fisetest when in good condition, and was always resdy to enter the lists with Roanoke ; hence th» present contest. Roanoke was the favorite, at two to one; and at this heavy odds large amounts were post - ed and lost, as the result will show.
